Farrell is nigly as we all know but he isn't someone to intentionally injure a player.

Your accusations are way off and completely unfounded.

I honestly believe there was very very little in it. At full pace that wouldn't have looked half as bad. I think Ratchford made a big deal of it but I suppose Farrell gave him an opportunity to do that and win his side a pen.

I'm looking forward to some proper battles between the two sides later in the year. I've seen plenty of back slapping on your forum tonight about the win and you were good value for it but Wigan will be a totally different side the next time we play with any luck.

SL is definitely poor if you're watching Leeds or Saints or a side with predictable attacking moves. Not so if your watching
Hull, Catalans, Widnes or Wire.

jumping into a player, already on the floor, leading with his knees says otherwise im afraid.... i dont see how you can see it any other way.

each to their own though.... enjoy the rest of your season.

We play them again in 4 weeks!

Ridiculous fixture scheduling.

I didn't think there was that much in the Farrell incident. Flops onto try-scorers; you see it after nearly every score, in both codes. My understanding always was that the 8-point try rule was brought in with the habit in mind of some full-backs to come sliding in feet-first (Billy Slater says hi!). I really didn't think there was much malicious contact here or intent to injure. Still I was surprised Wigan kept going to Gildart and Charnley all night with hat-trick hero Manfredi on the other wing. Warrington look comfortably the best side on the comp at the moment, and having the luxury of being able to bring on Ratchford, who did very well, after Sandow went off doesn't seem like a side too ravaged by injury to me.

You're probably trolling, but any reason why Wire can't trouble Wigan, especially if Sandow maintains his form after injury?

I don't do trolling. It is a waste of my energy. Wigan were garbage tonight and Wire toiled to a win. Wigan with 8 genuine first teames back comfortably beat them tonight in my opinion.

And if we had kept Sandow on the pitch?

As soon as he realised he had milked the 8 point try Ratchford was up and running again as if nothing had happened.

If it was any other team it wouldnt be mentioned. Bring back the biff!

I think you would have won by more....but then you add, Bateman (in my opinion the best player in the league so far this year), Flower, Tomkins, Williams, Gelling all who will be fit this year then I don't think you would win.


As for those trying to excuse Farrell, ridiculous. Cheap shot at best. Should have been binned.

Tired from the Easter period. (Older bones than Wigan' s)
Key attacking threat removed (I love Sandow, best player in SL for me)

No Wheeler, who is head and shoulder the best British talent of his generation (damn it, a day late)

Sandow was tearing Wigan a new one, with him on the field I think we'd have hit 40.

Fair enough. I would have loved to see a full strength Wire vs Wigan team tonight, I doubt we will see it at the HJ at the end of April either, if Sandow has done a hamstring.

We had 60 minutes with 2 subs after a tough Easter with little rotation. After 53 minutes we were done, Warrington will be better than that too, this isn't the game to judge. Apologies for the troll comment, it was misjudged, especially based on your comments re: Farrell. But to suggest Wigan will SL comfortably is misguided in my view, especially with Sandow in form, with Chris Hill, Ben Currie, Daz Clark etc etc in our ranks.

I like Bateman as a player, and I believe we were very close to signing him a bit before Wigan signed him, i'd have him at Wire in a heartbeat. I wouldn't have him in front of Sandow though, I said from the start getting him here early for a few weeks in 2015 would be great for 2016.

Sandow is by far the most talented player in SL. If you can keep him fit for most of the season, you have a great chance. Gidley was a very good signing, too. Still confident we'll be there or thereabouts when our creative players are back, though.

Watch games in general, It happens all the time.
