If Bateman were to stick around, a pack with him, Hamlin, Paisley and Greenwood included excites me. I’d have Bateman at #13 and give him the captaincy when SOL retires.

I haven’t seen much of Kibula to comment, same with Wells but I’m hoping going off other posters comments that they are as good as those listed above.

Re Fields I thought there is definite room for improvement for him but I don’t think he did a lot wrong. I maybe being a tad generous but I side with NickyKiss on that I don’t want to be too critical of the young lads coming through.

Wigan really dug deep in that game. Dominant in the first half and should really have scored a couple more tries with better decision making and passing.

2nd half the lack of size at interchange cost us with Farrell and Clubb picking up injuries alongside an already youthful bench.

Marshall is looking more confident and dangerous every game. Leuluai is in great form at the moment. Hamlin and Flower were great.

Josh Charnley didn't look so cocky at the end there did he?

A Leyther winning the game for Wigan....that's just not right !

On paper that should have been a comfortable win for Warrington. I think questions are going to be asked if they are the real deal or not. Our desire proved the decisive factor, Bateman was outstanding, Flower put in an excellent stint especially in the first half (not bad for a guy that shouldn't have played), Hamlin drove himself to practical exhaustion, Woods and Paisley came of age, Tommy probably had his best game since returning from New Zealand, Tomkins was sublime at times and our wingers continue to look dangerous and score tries. All in all an excellent performance which should cement our semi-final berth. Anybody that writes us off would be foolish.

Is he any relation to John Woods?

One slight negative- why on earth did wenot kick the penalty goal at 12-8? When it was awarded I headed down for a toilet break as I was convinced we'd be taking the 2.

In hindsight we should have taken the 2. That said I thought at the time running it was the right thing to do. I felt if we’d taken the 2 then we expect a short kick off with the possibility of Wire having the ball on our line. I also felt we hadn’t had much ball down their end and trying to build a bit of pressure was the right thing to do.

Turned out alright in the end

I think the fact we had had no possession might have been the reason for the kick to touch.it was an easy 2 the way that Tomkins was kicking.

We were missing
Sargison
Williams
Lockers
Sutton
Greenwood
Naverette suspended
all would have been in the 19

long term
Burgess
Manfredi

Hopefully when Williams returns it’s Powell that is dropped/benched and not Woods

Not a chance!

Any person with eyeballs would agree but Waney won’t. I’m a big Sam Powell fan but he is dying on his backside at halfback and that’s because the lad is a hooker.

By superleague standards Williams and Woods could sort us for the next ten years. Please lord make it happen!
