Patrick is total bob, struts about like he's in a southern comfort ad and can't back it up. Tautai looks the part to me, strong athletic and aggressive always gets you on front foot. I trust wanes judgement I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about ha

These 2 definitely need to be dropped Patrick isn't good enough and it seemed a daft idea to start him at loose forward only to change after 20 mins, wouldn't it of been best to start Bateman there who usually does close to the full 80. Tautai is a mystery to me from having watched him last year at Wakefield, have we got his indentical twin brother or something? Nothing like the player he was for them and I don't get why he seems so unfit. Once Flower and Crosby are back these 2 will struggle to get back in the team for me and I believe Greenwood deserves a shot in the 1st team ahead of Patrick and Tautai ATM.

Just watched the highlights on Wigan TV. Didn't realise yesterday just how woeful the defence was for BJB's try. Pathetic from Tautai and Mossop.

It was embarrassing. Just no effort there at all.

It was a poor attempt BUT in the set before he'd had a couple of big carries and the Williams put in the poor kick which Chase took, then sprinted up field. The Wigan forwards were struggling to get back onside and were chasing against the Salford backs

As I've said many times we've got to give the young players (Williams, Burgess, Tierney, Hampshire etc)a little bit of leeway, they will make mistakes. However the BIG errors were drops from Gelling an the first tackle and the two from Patrick when we were getting back in the game.
