| From a neutrals point of view I actually thought the character and aggressiveness your players showed was class through large periods of the game.
It showed Wigan in a different light to the usual niggly hothead performances that most think your team have adopted.
Bring it to Super a League and you'll win lots more than you'll lose. I'm glad my team has already taken the journey over to yours as that performance won't harm your confidence.
Great for Burgess to redeem himself from the worst performance I've seen him play at the end.

Burgess - very poor, casual play leading to errors. Tricky time for him, the fans are starting to turn on him - probably the right time for Manfredi to play '"
didn't a similar thing happen to Chris Ashton when he decided he was off.
Its a strange thing that players sign a contract with a new club when they still have a full season with their existing club.

It does feel a little deja vu.

| Positives: Effort. Team spirit. The odd piece of excellent individual skill.
Negatives: Recruitment. The pack wasn't big enough last year. It's double not big enough this. Wigan's forwards were like eggs hitting a cement floor.

Haha the worst knee jerk reaction iv ever seen on a forum. A coach that made 2 grand finals in 2 years and won the double. And a chairman that basically saved the club.
Our pack will really benefit from having a fit Mossop and lockers back in it. We will be fine this season, we always start slow. The first 20 minutes of the second half was a Brisbane masterclass, flawless. Not many teams would live with it.

I think we invited them to show whatever they could do. We put ourselves under pressure with mistakes and had multiple sets to defend. I thought Brisbane due to lack of match practice might tire and I think they did but we were also too tired to take advantage given the amount we had to defend in the first 20.

Yep, but then with Bentham and Wigan I wouldn't expect anything else.

| I'd be cautious about pinning some of your hopes on Mossop's return. The guy hasn't an injury free run of form for 2 and half years.

Was it? I personally didn't reckon much to them as an attacking threat. Their pack kept rolling forward but their wasn't much behind it, in fact I reckon if an English HB paring put in a performance like that these boards would be full of fans telling us how rubbish our halves are.
Wigan were woeful for large parts of the second half with the ball. Yes their pack was getting beaten but some of the errors were shocking, and for all the talk about the famous 'Wigan structure' their attack looked slow, and disorganised, and it's something that I notice with Wigan is that their doesn't appear to be a plan B. The thing that made Wigan so dangerous when Maguire was the coach was that they could play off the cuff attacking rugby when they needed to to get them out of trouble, but that's not something I really associate with Wane's Wigan.
