Worst I've seen Wire play against us in a very long time (I'd guess at ten years plus).

Rudderless.

Absolutely.

No idea how to get over the line.
Briers definitely a bigger loss than Sam
Can't believe how quiet their fans were. The wind had been well and truly taken out their sails.
Totally different experience to the last few years.
If a day out at DW is flat for us, it must be worse at HJ for Wire fans.
All Wigan players stood up today. Back on track!

Worst Warrington team I have seen in a long time, literally none of their players worried me.

Toothless Wire - Post Dad's Army syndrome - massive problems ahead.

Kind of called it

Well, you were half-right. Our defence was solid last night. If you hadn't got that the interception, you would have been nilled.

Wire had about 3 players missing last night that would probably make their 17 but all were forwards and that wasn't their issue IMO (although they're certainly not as fearsome). Their halfbacks and Ratchford at fullback looked clueless.

Us on the other hand didn't play particularly well but should have won by more and have our two best players to come back in. We can be pretty pleased about that.

A couple of things about last nights game that puzzle me. One is - how much did the conditions affect the game?

And the other is how bad were Wire?

Great to win without Lockers. I thought Faz and Burgess were outstanding. Bateman was good and Williams made a real impact after a good stint by Logan.

Part way through the second half I thought - this is a really poor quality game. So I don't know what to make of our win.

Who cares how well you're playing in March. If you're picking up 2 points at the HJ, then that's enough. You've got until October to polish things up.

Westwood really is a thug cheap shot on Matty Smith just on the half time hooter , went unpunished . Good atmosphere in our end . Wire were Dire . Lockers and Micky Macc to come back Burgess coming on nicely but we need Matty to get better with his kicking but a good night

In a nutshell...

People seem to expect a team to hit the floor running, it doesn't. And that includes the much lauded Leeds team of recent years that was stable, and seemingly, according to some, refused to sell players... Every new season has a period of transition. Whilst this team does lack experience compared to some recent Wigan teams, we do have good squad depth. I would rather be in our position, than Warringtons...





In oh so many ways!!

Bent over receiving.. dry, you mean?

they worry me!

Cracking post.

Thursday showed the difference when the forwards in the middle slide and mark as they are supposed to. The forwards certainly got the blame for the tries against Hull KR and it is a big reason why Bateman started instead of Hughes. It is far too simplistic just to blame the wide men especially when they were continually being left with 5 or 6 v 3.
