Hock's offload was the only bad point of his performance today and it was a little silly as it was only the 3rd tackle but I think at times when players poke through the line like that some of our players are a bit slow to react and push up in support. If someone was on his shoulder that was a walk in.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



Wane has been on Radio Manchester and has said if Hock continues his form from the last 4 games he must be in contention for the England side

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Could have been a lot more had we been more clinical. Could have been punished on another day. Just need to get the next two games out of the way now before the big game against wire.

At the risk of being controversial Jack Hughes didn't do enough in attack again for me and bombed a simple walk in try. I'm not even acknowledging his try because he only finished off Tusons good work. Defensively i've little complaint but his attack needs alot of work how Richards is managing to score is beyond me because apart from last weeks solid offload his tries certainly ain't coming from Hughes, He isn't the long term replacement for Carmont at this time I hope he proves me wrong in the future.

I mean easy in the sense that we could afford to bomb so many chances and still come away with a 24-point win, which was a much greater gulf between the two teams than I expected. Even going in at half time behind on the scoreboard, I was never worried.

Quote: DP_wwrlfc "Agreed, he continues to defy the critics. Strong going forward and still not seeing many silly penalties or falling of tackles as we was told to expect from a few Hull fans.

Also like that we have both him and Hock who will give it to them. Hock literally frightens some opposition players.'"


Oh, it was the Wigan "miserable brigade" who said Eric was a penalty machine, most over there said he was badly used... Looks good to me so far, bit silly to rush in, but great for team morale...

Was very relieved to see Hock come back on after he went off in the second half. He looked like he was in agony.

A bit harsh, I feel - yeah that early drop was a horrible error, but he wasn't the only one making mistakes: Lockers had two early very wayward passes out left and then dropped a pass from Sam second half with the line open.

For a 20-year-old converted 2nd row having only his 4th game at centre, I think he's doing better than could have been expected.

I agree, Hughes is doing a great job there. In attack he might not be up to Carmont standard but I don't think there were many times when he could have done better during the game, except for the dropped ball.

I don't think he's seen as Carmont's long term replacement but he's doing very well as a stand in.

[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.:

I think he's doing ALRIGHT nothing spectacular but average
I just think if he's not carmonts replacement and apparently gelling is thought he'd of got a game by now with hughes not setting the world on fire

I will get a lot of stick from Wire fans if they read this but I feel Hock is as good as Westwood if not better and therefore should be in the England side on current form.
