Everything I expected from you guys.

Flew out the blocks, took it to us, ran out of steam.

To be fair to the lad he grew in confidence as the game went on , I spoke too soon .
We do need a kicker though

Yes, there you go. I don’t think commenting we need a a big experienced prop is out of order and unless I missed it we haven’t signed a replacement for GB.

We must have all misinterpreted your words, here they

"Got out of jail there. Can’t see what excuses there are for that first half performance. It just wasn’t competent and first game of the season or not there is no real excuse for that.
If IL was thinking of saving some money by not spending George Burgess wages I think a rethink is required.
Still two points after a poor performance is still two points."

Not sure how your reply measures up to your original statement.

And here's me interpreting it the same way as a couple of others, that it was another not so thinly veiled dig at IL for a BS reason

Well you may be better choosing your words better, because that's not what you said as far as I can make out.

Played about as poorly as we could for the first half hour. The last thing we needed was another back getting injured. Do we have anyone returning next week apart from Hastings? How far off is KPP?

didn't he give up possession in our own 20m at least 3 times?

I wasn't aware you did ... apart from those occasions on which Wigan underperform.

Come on, Dave. Stop pretending you weren't just making a silly (and, yet again, rather desperate) jab at IL.

First game of the season, coming off a massively disrupted pre-season, short of key personnel, all kinds of other issues going on, British RL teetering on the verge of disappearing, Leigh doing their usual 'as long as we beat Wigan life is worth living after all' thing etc.

We win anyway. But it wasn't a romp, so that's the end of the best chairman we've had in both our lifetimes.

What do you want, mate? Mo and Whelan back (even though both are well past it)? Sumner Baxendale? Gary Hetherington and the Yorkshire Mafia to take over (and still not win as much as we have)? How about all-mouth-and-no-results-Koukash

Ever thought about giving it a rest with your endless, pointless, bizarre, anti-IL campaign? You make yourself look a total plonker with this stuff.

I though he was poor.

Both halves were for me.

Our last tackle options were garbage for most of the night.

We need Hastings back in the team very quickly.

Powell in my opinion was easily the best player on the pitch followed by Sidlow.

Best half on the field by miles IMO. He ran the show for us second half and totally over shadowed his partner. I thought it was the best I’ve seen Harry Smith play in the first team.

Funny how people see things.

I’m a Smith fan but got to agree I thought both half’s were poor.
TL far too slow and Smith non existent in the the first 30

Just glad of a win tonight after a pretty awful first 30 minutes

Got to look at tonight with perspective - at this stage of the year it’s not about performances it’s about points on the board. We weren’t great but got the win. A lot of the lads have only played 40 mins in pre-season so that performance was expected. We’ll get players back in the coming weeks, we’ll get some momentum and when we click we’ll be one of the teams to beat

Even when we got on top I thought he failed to put us on the front foot, same as TL.

Leigh ran at him, and he struggled with the physicality they put at him.

That isn't what you said though is it?
