MOM in the most boring game of rugby I have seen for a long time. The best part was the basketball after the final whistle.

The two lowest points of the game for me were:

1) Kicking, where has Richards kicking gone?
2) Players not playing to the whistle, a good few occasions when the ball was knocked on the players just stopped if it were a game against a better side lots of ground would have been lost.

I admit it. It was me who made him MOTM. Here's why.

He was the only one who didn't make any silly mistakes. Phelps had a good un, but he childishly let their first try in, and cost me about £50 in lost winnings, so he wasn't f*cking getting it. Our forwards were ordinary. Richards was a contender, but he missed loads of goals. Leuluai was OK. Basically no one stood out. Our best players, actually, were the ones who were used as interchanges. Picking one of them would be a bit like picking James Roby for Man Of Steel.

There were two clinchers, however; One of the girls fancied him, and the other was that I fancied meeting him to see if he really was a bit - erm - challenging, given that the MOTM is obliged to come and talk to the people in the Prawn Sandwich lounge, where I was. I'm happy to say that he is a character, but was utterly charming and friendly.

Plus, I paid about a grand for the privilege, so I'll pick who I damn well like. Irrespective of how they play. That said, one of the girls likes Gaz Hock, and I actually decided before the match that I would pick him just for her, but sadly, he was sh i t, and I couldn't justify it.

In any case, I'm sure that you seasoned supporters know very well by now that the MOTM award is never accurate, probably due to the copious amounts of alcohol served in the Prawn Sandwich lounge.

Smith was good.

To say Hock was bad though is harsh. He gave them nightmares running with the ball they couldn't bring him down.

I agree about it being the worst MOM seen at the JJB for a long while.

He had a steady game, but nothing that stood out to make him MOM. Like the team as a whole lets see how he goes against better opposition.

Fair enough pal. I'm glad you agree, though I happily admit my choice was more down to luck than design.

Agree with every word. It was a toss-up between Coley and Smith IMO.

Shame kept dropping the ball again though, isnt it?

Clearly though, you wouldn't have said that if you didn't know who made the decision, so your opinion is null and void, obviously.

Timmy's problem is simple. Wigan fans make their mind up on a player on his debut. If you're crap then you're crap for life. If you're an Aussie and crao on debut then you've no chance.

Piggy threw a bad ball in the second half and some clown told him to go home and lets throw the youngsters in.

He also seemed to have an agenda against Roberts who is apparently 'a waste of space'. Had it been Ainscough who missed the tackle or allowed the chip to go over his head (quality attacking play I thought) i'm sure it would have been fine.

Also no groans, moans or beratings when Sam knocked on and yet a few when Phelps did

Funny, I thought that the idea of forums was to give opinion, which I did so what's the problem?
