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.

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.

No but I want KPP at prop where he is far more effective.

The good news for you mate is that Wigan are not in town. Enjoy your day.

How did Dupree play?

Great first game, couldn’t have gone much better for him

Seems a shame that the usual crowd of expert critics who appear after a Wigan defeat haven’t appeared to congratulate the team and coaches on the excellent win today.
Or am I being a bit too harsh ?

Well what a wazzock you are, are you the one been sending death threats to him and his family

A disjointed and error riddled first half but much more like it after the break. We need to build on that now and kick on because the Grand Final is wide open. Get Havard back in that pack and we can really start to rotate the impact guys of Dupree and Mago around him and Ellis. If our pack can create space, we have the backs to take advantage of it.

And if Dupree had suffered the same fate as the saints lads everyone would have been condoning it. He needs stopping. If he can't tackle, he should try another sport.

And, no im not. Sorry dear. Didn't know he had, i don't involve myself with anti-social media if thats where it is. The police are very welcome to check the I.P address of any of my devices.
