Only played with 12 men near the end when are are injuries going to stop.

Wigan had five England players and another three regulars on the sidelines and they then lost forwards Tony Clubb (head), Lee Mossop (quad) and Taulima Tautai (calf) to injury in the second half as they finished the game with 12 men.

)You dont think bateman is remotely as good as currie? Bit harsh, he was outstanding last night in a poor team performance.

I didn't expect us to win last night with the side we put out. Of course, we have a lot of players out. But so do most clubs, Injuries are so commonplace in RL, But Wigan are supposed to be one of the 'big' clubs (if not the 'biggest'), We would expect to have a stronger squad than we have. If a side like Widnes, say, loses Kev Brown, we know that's going to be a massive blow to them. But we should expect to cope rather better. Yes, we are missing our spine. But it's the unforced errors and the poor discipline that's killing us. One of the things I'm fond of telling all the RU fans in this part of the country is that skill levels, especially amongst the backs, are far superior in SL (and even more so,of course, in the NRL). But I reckon even Northampton or Wasps or Bath's backs would run rings round us at the moment. As I've said before, watching the Superleague Show, virtually every side in SL has shown more attacking ingenuity at times than we've managed this season. Wakey are an example.

We still have the same salary cap... Apart from Salford seemingly, and maybe Cats.

Well said!

Wigan injuries/excuses etc! You are genuinely missing some big guns. A back three of Lockers, Faz and J Tompkins is a huge, huge miss. Manfriedi on his own is a huge miss. Mcclorum is a huge miss as well- when he's back, the props get some confidence and with the full back row, you have a great pack. And that's without a mention of Bateman who was great last night. (Bar the jammy bounce off the post with his grubber for the try!)

For me you've got nowt to worry about.

It's nowhere near as bad as many on here think Gaz. The overall standard of SL has dropped or we would not be as high in the table as we are, and thats a far bigger worry for me as a Rugby League fan...

If we did the treble, some on here would moan about the colour of the water carriers socks...

And some people when they see tripe, eat tripe and taste tripe still think it's a steak because that is what the chef tells them they are eating.
