Child.

I thought we got the rub of the green with the Powell try at one end then the Wakey no try at the other shortly after. Both could, and arguably should, have gone Wakey's way, different game then if we lose 6 points and they gain 6.

Equally, Wakey shouldn't have had the ball for their no try because whilst Tommy knocked it out, Johnstone had knocked on.

Fair enough. I just noticed two massive points related decisions that went our way in quick succession. I thought Powell knocked on for his try, and Bibby knocked the ball back for their disallowed try. Understandable why the Video Ref went with the on field decision for both though.

nope defiantly showing a lack of class in fact that post makes you look a complete utter moran, enjoy your win but it wasn't even of the same quality

Thought our right edge was shocking tonight.

Bibby came up with some decent defensive plays towards the end of the game but other than that poor, Hardaker I though was shocking, didn’t look interested for most of the game and Isa had an off day.

You're right yeah

A win is a win

There were lots of bad decisions both ways. French's knock on when he'd clearly kicked and regathered, Gildart knock on that was clearly stripped plus forward passes in the build up to both their first half tries went against Wigan yet the only one that gets called is for the disallowed try. All instances that changed the tide of play. In the end none of the bad decisions changed the outcome. Wakefield were excellent in defeat but Wigan deserved the victory.

99.7% of people will not suffer a fatality and as "diseases" go that's pretty re assuring. Unfortunatley herd immunity, a system that has seved mankind well for millions of years has now seemingly been abolished by the government.
As for the bug that affected Wigan on that fatefull day at Belle Vue, I'm sure the players and officials are all the stronger for it now, and hopefully immune from further attacks too.

I thought Child was consistent tonight. The pass from Farrell to Burgess wasn’t forward and it was Bibby that knocked on not Johnstone for Tupou’s no try.

As for Powell’s, it was never going to get ruled out due to the on field try decision, and there wasn’t enough evidence to overrule it.

Child did his usual thing of giving one team a load of penalties/set restarts, then the other.

In the end, we just couldn’t crack Wigan’s defence.

Problem is I know there’s going to be more lineup changes again next week. Chester just can’t seem to stick on a 17 for more than a week whether it’s forced due to injuries/covid or not. Hard to get consistency which is why we are where we are, Clearly some bad eggs in the camp which doesn’t help.

Good luck to you lot for the rest of the year.

Hardaker in the centre doesn’t work.

He’s not electric, fast or creative enough for full back either.

Haven’t seen the game (work!!) but from reading the reports it seems we were abit scratchy, hit and miss. Wakey are a dogged side and can dig their heels in so I wasn’t expecting a blow out score to be honest. Happy for the win and it reads like we did it tough.

It felt like ideal preparation for next week IMO. If we’d gone out their and coasted to a 60 point win, it wouldn’t have done us that much good in the grand scheme of things. We came up against a side who looked that determined to put in a shift for the coach and the club that the players were really pushed and had to put full effort in. It was an enjoyable game.

Yep, I’d agree with that. Wakey did what Saints will do in that they’ll come out determined to put a shift in and will push the lads all the way, albeit Saints will be better at it.
