King v Charnley was always going to be a worry, and I think he (and Joel) did a pretty good job keeping them quieter than usual.

Deacon it to blame, kept picking the wrong man and not sliding making Joel to come in therefore maikng Charnley to come in. Also I though Hock was very lazy in defence that's why he didn't feature in the 2nd half.

Are you for real?

JT is never a centre in a million years and I really hope they return him to the 2nd row next season for his own development.

Charnley needs to learn defence- and quickly. If he was in my team he would be dropped next week.

1 Hell of a try but still needs training with defending...seen him a few times on sky and he does get caught out but,like a lot are saying,is only 20 and will learn.......can we have him in a swap for Sharp

Whoever is to blame the right side needs sorting out. I have said repeatedly Wire would attack the right side as St, George did. I don't think anyone needs a crystal ball to predict that is what any top side will do against us.

However lets leave that to the coaches to sort out for now and congratulate Charley for his tries particularly the length of the field effort. The BBC highlight of that is worth watching as it shows it head on and the step he gave to leave Hodgson for dead was superb.

I disagree Cherry.

Charnley needs to learn to stay out on his wing (in fairness he got the message after half time)

I think Maguire knows JT is not a centre, but what can he do given the Gleeson situation?

How is it nobody has mentioned coley missing an obvious runner (Hodgson for example) which led to a wire try? Charnley got dragged in but only because of mistakes inside him. Joel is improving every game at centre and was up against a good un today in Atkins. 3 times his defence led to Wire beinfmg dragged into touch. I thought he was really string.

Hock played on the right hand side of defence today which is not his normal area.

Charnley was at fault for the 2 tries in my opinion.

The first one Joel was already in position to tackle Atkins, with cover coming from behind in Sam Tomkins. There was no need to take Atkins and leave King wide open.

The other try, Hodgson was almost on the floor when he offloaded - with Joel on top of him. There was again no need to come inside to tackle a grounded man and leave King again, wide open.

It's just a learning experience, but for the 2 tries we conceded, he scored 2 tries.

Great team performance, its just the lack of experience on our right hand side that is our weak point at the moment.

Fantastic match to watch. Cracking spectacle.

Dropping Charnley should not be an option, he will learn in time IF he continues to get experience. He came in too often in the 1st half, learnt the lesson and didn't in the second. An example of a player learning the lesson and adapting/developing his game.

He'll be a top winger in a couple of years if he's kept there.

Defensive positioning can be coached but the ability to score that 2nd try can't!

Awesome stuff from a terrific young player.

Cherry I could not agree more,going forward ball in hand Deacon can confuse the opposistion when they dont know if he is going to pass or kick.
Today though Wigan were found out a couple of times ,once when the Wire went wide for the first try he was so slow getting across. Then when Monaghan (hooker ) broke through he gave up the chase very quickly. Please watch the reply.
I have been on about this all season,one slow halfback you may get away with but two you are pushing your luck.

Watched it again and I think it is. 50 50 if Charnley was at fault for the first try as Joel had been beaten and I think Josh had no option but to try and tackle the man with the ball but I don 't think you could be 100% certain. The second try he was definitely out of position. He was about 10m off his wing and left a huge gap.

Hopefully the coaches will sort him out as he looks really strong in the other aspects of the game.

THIS .... said more or less this on the way home after the game, plus his try was really good
