Hilarious, and the look on the Wire lads face!  Comedy gold

| According to the St Helens forum he has been playing 2nd row all year because he was in a scrum at one point during a game! I have enjoyed Rocky's last 4 games playing loose forward!
Any way, back to the land of the living i have to say Gelling was excellent last night. He can be excellent but yesterday was a step beyond what we have seen before. Tomkins certainly had his best game for Wigan since his return, the sort of game we need from him. I think we were really on our game in attack and had our best team performance on that front. The defence was poor, but we have shown when it matters we will put in incredible defensive efforts.
Rocky dropped a couple of bombs and didn't have his best game, but i think his instinct of when to support a break and his general play out the back is pretty impressive even in his poor games. Completely different style to Bowen. Would like to see him at 6 sooner rather than later, but not sure Williams will be going anywhere after yesterday. Smith to sit out and Williams to 7 maybe?

| Salford game apart, Williams continues to look more and more at home at 6. Perhaps that old fool Wane knows something after all?

| He's the new Iro, absolute beast. I felt sorry for those young Wolfs getting roasted, they just couldn't handle him.
I bemoaned our lack of X factor players earlier in the season but things are starting to look a bit different now. We've got threats all over the field and things are starting to click. I still believe we are a Blake Green short of silverware but I expect we'll make at least a final this year on current evidence.

The early part of the season has been really difficult, but thats the same most seasons. You will find that many of the older heads here, kept theirs, and hopefully we can kick on from here. We have some very talented players out there, but when things don't click, it will look terrible. We have a terrific young squad, we can't keep all, so expect moans on here when people leave... we do however have a very good signing for next season.. But, i think we will do quite well this year.

That's what I'd be going with next season to be honest, Smith off the bench at 9, or if things aren't clicking in the halves he can come on there

Ideal chance to try Rocky and Williams at halfback against Wakefield, this would give Smith a rest and considering the amount of rugby he has played over the last 2/3 years he looks like it would do him good.
It would give Bowen the chance of a game as well, because if we don't give him a game soon he may just up sticks and head off home early and then if Rocky gets injured we are short at fullback.

No Smith no kicker! Although that shouldn't be too much of a concern at Wakefield. When Thornley comes back we have the option of Sarginson at fullback.
Anyway, now that we are doing ok I can't understand why people want to start moving the team around. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

| Gelling was both outstanding and entertaining last night. I was also pleasantly interested to find out that the only players in the whole of Super League to make more meters this year than Gelling are Hardaker and Walmsley.

Correct in my view. Bowen is not finished here.
