Give him a rest, he was non stop last night.

Just play Isa down the Middle he's better there will run at full tilt and defend all game. Without Coops and maybe Singo a pack with Ellis Byrne Havard Smithies Isa Mago can rotate that middle Hill gets a shout against Wakey if a rest is needed.

He’ll be fine Isa. He had a rest on Good Friday and hasn’t been selected in one or two. His face looks like oddly shaped potato at the minute but I doubt he’d have it any other way.

Wigan deserved to win. Well done.
We never really got into the game - a lot of that being that we weren't allowed to.

I wasn't happy with a few of the decisions but arguing/debating the merits of those doesn't get over the central issue that overall Wigan were better in too many aspects.

The interesting thing for me is how well we go against Saints after our defeat.

Well said Fez, I didn't expect that from you given that you hate Wigan so much.

I’ve watched the game back and there was one really poor call in the game, which was a missed knock on against Matty Russell, when taking a bomb near his line (it bounced off him, on to a Wigan man and back to him). The Minikin try was 50/50 and meaningless anyway (although I did think it dropped off his arm when I watched it back). The VR didn’t actually look at the best angle for the O’Neill grounding but the last replay on the Sky coverage showed there was no separation and he got downward pressure on it.

There has been too much talk about the decisions (which I’m joining in with). The best team on the night won but should’ve won by many more on the balance of play. The Wire fans were in overdrive moaning at the officials from minute one and were only bettered by Matt Dufty, who doesn’t like being tackled much.

A decent first game between the two this season and I expect there are bigger battles to come and with stronger teams (hopefully).

Yes forgot about the Russell one, that was a poor call as even if ref didn’t see it, it was right next to a touch judge.

It’s interesting reading the other forums that a section of the fans of arguably our biggest rivals only want to talk about refs at the moment.

Dufty was constantly throwing himself to the floor to surrender and then moaning about being held down. It's literally the rule.
