I think that there is a case to rest Farrell and Marshall. Both seem to be carrying injuries.
A good time to utilise Nsemba and Eckersley.
I’m also hoping that Hill gets a bench spot.

I’d love to see Forber play today but with a few experienced guys out I just don’t see him playing this afternoon.

Not many changes, just the bench with Hill and Nsemba but Eckersley as 18th man. Should be a cakewalk if the attitude is right in the first half.

Suspect some fans will grumble after that but personally felt any win would do today after an intense few weeks. Had a feeling we would be flat and in all honesty it's been our defence that's won us the bigger games recently. Great to be top of the table - hopefully the squad will benefit from the break to refresh and maybe we'll get a halfback or two back soon.

It was always going to be that sort of game after the run we’ve had recently. It was all about the win today and now they get to rest up and look to raise again for the coming weeks.

"Be a long season"
"We're this seasons Warrington"

That Sam Eseh looks like he's going to be some player. He was certainly putting himself about.

I said the same thing to the lads I was with at the game.
He had Isa smiling after one tackle.
Would like to think that we are interested in him. Only a cameo today but his aggression would be a perfect fit for us.

I’m happy with that. Did what we had to and hopefully the lads get a good rest ready for the FC game.

Ellis out for the month isn’t great news be interesting how we go for the next game. Would like to see Hampshire given a run out

One injury too many in the front row really but we'll get by. Isa could perhaps fill in up front. The club don't seem to fancy Ramon Silva but maybe needs must.

I felt it was quite a lacklustre performance and a relatively low intensity game.

We never got out of 3rd gear but we didn’t have to.

Good to see Hill and Nsemba get some game time was particularly impressed with Hill.

Job done, on to the next one.

2 points in the bag after three big, and intense, matches. That will do me fine. Our levels were always going to drop.

A mini victory for Wakey and something I hope they can build on, to restrict Wigan to 22 points was a big positive for them.

Happy to get the win and good to see Hill get a game, he was puffing and blowing throughout but great for his development.

Really enjoyed the fan village before the game and something the club can build on. The player cards are really popular with the kids and big thumbs up on the free tickets.

A game that wont live long in the memory... wasn't the best but it was never going to be. We lacked intensity after the past 3 weeks which is understandable. Those are the games that you need to be winning though if you want to be top of the league at the end of the season. Good to see Hill & Nsemba get game time, was impressed with both of them. Frustrating about Kaide Ellis' injury, but that should give Hill a few more games in the first team, which can only be a good thing for his progression.

Just watched this game on Wigan TV, was away yesterday.

Probably had a different perspective as I knew the score line but didn’t think we were as bad as I was expecting.

We were creating opportunities and could have scored 6/7 tries if the ball had bounced different. Wakey scrambled well too.

Bilko mentioned in commentary about the attack stifling on the right with Shorrocks in the halves. He hit Isa a few times flat or back on the inside a few times when French or King needed the ball. He’s done a fine job out of position but we’ll post so much more points with Field or even Cust back there.


KPP was very good. Hill and Nsemba didn’t look out of place. Both seemed massive and physically ready for the first team, we should see them more this year.

Would like to see the Isa 'tip' again, looked like he just put the player down flat on his back to me.
