I wouldn’t go as far as that but this tackle has now been made ok in the RFL eyes and is likely to be replicated. As seen by the Bell one last night. Asiata needs to watch what he is doing because one more injury to a player and I think the RFL will have no choice but to ban him

And pace off the mark.

We can give you directions if you want Cokey

Nice one mate.

Hey you! Give over, Bell tackled front on and there was no injury. Asiata's actions and resultant serious injuries, on the other hand, speak for themselves. How he avoided a ban is beyond ludicrous. Yer bubble's burst, yer a busted flush and HKR will turn you over.

Wigan excellent defensively today bar one error of judgement from Smithies at the start. No real flow or coherency with the ball in the first half although we were a little unlucky at times with offloads that went to ground. Some real skill in the 2nd half though.

A bit of a mixed bag with French at 6 today - some nice combinations and off the cuff play but at times he still looks like a square peg in a round hole.

A very typical response from a Leyther no substance at all, just all yer !

an injury should never come into it, otherwise you'd be banning your own players for colliding in a tackle, i'd be more concerned about the medical staff letting walmsley carry on with a grade 2 MCL

Well that was a much better performance, still a little clunky in attack at times but a big improvement (or is it we can only play on dry pitches).

Defense was much better for 98% of the game with a couple of lapses, the start of the second half was like Wigan of old pinning Leigh back intheir own half and putting them under so much pressure.

Still a few too many mistakes to eliminate if we really want to do anythig in the play-offs but much better. Now to find some consistency.

Anyone want to drop Miski after that performace?

What a breath of fresh air. Second half I thought Cust played his best game in ages, distributing quick (well quicker than earlier this season) ball behind a pack that was going forward. All the forwards except one were gaining ground it seemed.
Very pleased for Miski who has been patient while cementing his place in the team. Not the fastest winger we’ve ever had but pretty useful all the same.
Still stuff to work on but Mr Peet must be much happier than last week.
