From his interviews it sounds like Wane isn't in charge of Wigan anymore.

Plodder.

All being well

Greenwood is a good player in his 2nd game this after weeks lay off.

I thought he went ok as well and will get better with more game time.

Oh stop it you’ll get my hopes up

Not enjoyable to watch that at all but there were some positives.

Hankinson looks natural in the centre and not out of place at that level. Only one game and got skinned by Makinson but overall a decent debut.
Tomkins was flawless.
Davies ran his blood to water
Some decent hits in defence

I have no issues with the effort, we just lacked guile and creativity again. To hold Saints to 2 tries was a good effort all things considered.one try from a daft mistake and one from a straight forward missed one to one tackle by Powell. No excuses but we can’t ignore the circumstances. Lockers, Williams, Gildart, Burgess, Sutton all missing and a lad making his debut after signing from Swinton 48 hours ago.

Whoever comes in just has to prioritise a 7.

Saints were missing their two most potent strike players in Barba & Percival heaven knows what the score would have been had they played,
I agree about a new No7 though

Taia and Walmsley too.

Quite possibly one of the most low-key derbies I’ve seen in a good few years. Saints looked dangerous throughout) ripping us apart at times. Only our scrambling defence keeping it a lower score. We ‘came alive’ with ten minutes to go and too much to do.
That probably sums it up!

Yea I know. I think choosing to rest players because you’re so far ahead and replacing them with natural cover is slightly different to our circumstances though. Sarginson hasn’t played much at all all season and had his 1st game back. Hankinson was a Swinton player 2 days ago. Burgess and Gildart are 2 of our fastest players, Lockers is Lockers, Williams & Sutton missing. Clubband Powell both haven’t trained all week with tight hamstrings, Bateman was touch and go with his groun although you’d never know!

I just think a balanced view and some context makes this loss slightly less painful. Only slightly!! We’re desperate for some fresh ideas with the ball.
