Praise -

Our attack is looking good and there's still some improvement to be found.
Hock is getting back to his best with another good performance and played nearly 70 minutes if I'm not mistaken.
Finch is getting better and better and his running game has improved since last year.
Goulding is still going strong at centre, made some very good breaks, scored a lovely try and is defending well.
The audacity of Sam Tomkins to score his try from the tap penalty.


Grumble -

Our defence wasn't up to scratch, particularly behind the ruck with McIlorum and Flower being particularly culpable.
Poor discipline that piggy backs teams up the field and allows them to put pressure on our defence far too easily.
Some soft tries conceded; such as London's 1st with Finch's ridiculous tackle attempt that left him on the floor or the terrible attempts from Charnley and Tomkins on Sarginson.

Praise - We won. We scored some great tries. Gareth looking awesome in terms of fitness, strength and skill.

Grumble - Shaun Wane. He said in the video interview on the website: "Mentally as a group we`ll be different this Friday." And so the inference from this remark is that on Sunday the team was not right mentally. Well if that is the case then it was Wanes`s fault as well as the players. And I have to say that I worry about his apparent inability to motivate the team for this type of game. IMO if Madge was still here we would not have conceded a total of 11 tries against the two bottom teams in the league in consecutive weeks and we would not have lost to Widnes.

Praise- Doubt we'll be getting called boring this year.

Goulding is a miles better centre then Joel Tomkins.

Hocks on fire in attack

Grumble-

An unwillingness to get stuck in defensively

Overplaying in attack when the games in the balance

Finch looking great.
Georgie boy back and slotting straight in. No offense to Hughes, but you can just see GC's quality straight away.

Defense
James Child - he is seriously one bad ref. I do not in general like to critise refs, but he was poor for both sides. Spoilt the flow of the game, giving needless penalties to either side and then missing more obvious decisions.

Both George and Goulding had good games.

Defence was very poor.

Good attack, without quite hitting our best.

Poor defence down the middle, and our kicking game lapsing again....discipline also poor at times.

Praise
Sam's try.
George's return
Grumble
Only 5 degrees and cloudy when we left home, sunshine all afternoon in the East Stand, should have put the shorts on.
Childs pants ! or should that be shorts !

We were always going to win the match, but, we shouldn't be conceding 30 points at home.

Not if we want to win trophies.

Praise

Finch in attack and defence
Sams try must have looked awesome in the South Stand

Grumble

Child, he effectively ruined the match in the first 5 minutes by giving needless penalties (or is that Wigans fault????)
Sam 1 on 1 defence
George looked weak in defence
