Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg
I'd love to see him prove me wrong but unfortunately I don't think that Goulding is our answer to centre either and I'm not sure what Shaun Wane has seen to suggest otherwise other than U20 performances from four or five years ago.
Don't get me wrong, his commitment and work ethic is fantastic. He can skoot all day and make yards whilst he's at it but his creativity, vision, hands and skill for the centre position is lacking.
Goulding reminds me very much of Jamie Foster at Saints but without the boot. Both were superb centre's in the reserve comp but don't have what it takes to be an established centre at senior level. Like Foster, Goulding is excellent finisher with a good centre inside him but you'll rarely see him making break nor sprinting ball in hand more than 40 yards.
For me, Goulding's Wigan future will only be on the wing.
