regardless of the stats, i just thought that wells looked a good prospect (certainly once he fills out), and on that basis, with his time on the field likely to be minimal, it would be good to see more of him than burke, who offers little other than a solid, if unspectacular 15 min stint.
on the williams question; to me defence is key. i would rather start him, as gregson was badly exposed last week. i would prefer him to come on at 9 or 12 rather than 6, where he may be more comfortable (and hes always an option for 6 if george pulls up).

Great impact from Burke off the bench! Not.

How do we let that ugly old thug score with 4 men on him? Shocking.

Line speed is very poor when we don't have one of O'Loughlin, Clubb or McIlorum on the field.

Tautai 16-4 Wigan

What does Tautai actually do other than give penalties away and lose the ball? He's gash!

Where's Joe Cobb tonight

Wane just needs to tell him, run straight and stop running stupid angles and tackle low, around the ankles if you need to. Complete liability today, he changed the game in Wire's favour. Reminds me of when Lauaki lost us a game a few seasons ago.

truly shocking performance....how many missed tackles, props not getting back to do their job and get this team moving forward, forwards running sideways, our PTB is pedestrian at best....this has nothing to do with injuries....this a poor performance

Pretty depressing listening to this on Wish. It's not often I think, I'm glad I'm not there, but tonight...

We are bad, really bad. It's not even like we are playing some good stuff and it's just not our night, we are playing predictable, boring one man rugby and still making mistakes.

Tautai has been terrible, there's no doubt about that. A combination of penalties, mistakes and poor defence has cost us a lot of points. Credit where it's due, Wire have defended very well and taken their chances. Their kicking game has been excellent.

18 missed tackles from us in the first half is not good enough, the distribution from dummy half has been poor too, I think we are missing MM for more than just tough defence. I don't want to be too harsh and will wait until we have something resembling a full strength side out before I judge.
