| Can't go for two in the first half, whatever the situation. Back yourself to score the try. It's like an admission to the opposition that you don't think you can break them down

I know what you mean but i am just pointing out 2 points are very important and you should go for the 2 points if we haven't got a first class kicker that's all i am saying it could of made a difference or it couldn't but with the score being 22-22 we could of won 22-24.

| Just for accuracy, the title of the topic should read "Who thinks we should have gone for 2 points ?"
Don't call me a pedant, learn the correct use of the language.

| You could argue this all day. It could have made the difference. Things might have gone differently.
One benefit of going for the two, even if you miss you get the ball back (provided the ball goes dead, of course). It wouldn't have been a terribly bad decision to go for the two.
The opposition needs the ball to score, drop goals aren't always such a bad option if you can back your defence to keep them out.

| I always think we should take the two if it's kickable and we're not losing by more than two. It eats up the clock, you get the ball back and you get points without breaking sweat. Teams might take it as wrap to their defence at first but not if you started doing it all the time. What does boost the defence's morale is when you tap and don't score/force a repeat set, you often see the opposition break away after that. Deacon used to kick penalties all day for Bradford and I don't remember us rejoicing that they respected our defence. I'd like to see stats on the average points yield when tapping kickable penalties, would make for interesting reading.

| It's all so hypothetical - as technically the whole game would have been different. Just as if you win the toss before a game and elect to field the ball rather than kick, every single play will be different from what actually happened.....
What changed the game last night for me more than anything was Carmont's wild pass 30 metres out on the 2nd tackle ( I think) which was intercepted by Leeds and led to their first try. That totally changed the course of the game as up till then Wigan were the better team and could/should have been 16 -0 up. We were making easy yards till then and creating lots of chances. After that we lost all momentum and Leeds totally dominated the 2nd quarter and could/should have had a bigger lead than 12-4.

| Should the title be:
Who thinks we should have gone for 2 points?
Microsoft Word does automatic correction of the "of" to "have", is this representative of our education system?

| What annoys me is sometimes we dont have the belief we can score when we are 10 metres out from their line? We werent the 2nd best attack in SL last season and the Champions for nothing. Some times we show too much respect to our opponents by taking the 2 available. Take the WCC for example. I thought we should of pushed on and went for the try. Its all in hindsight, but I wish sometimes we would back ourselves and go for it!

| Definately made the right call as even though the Leeds defence seemed shot I think they could have held out for 1 more tackle as they would've had time to get there defence set. I also think If Leeds wouldn't have conceded a penalty Wigan would've scored.

| In a game we expected to be tight, with no real goal kicker. Too right we should have gone for two.
