Farrell provoked a reaction by shoving him in the face, Poore just didn't mess about really.

It looked to me that Poore led with raised elbow into the tackle, which caused the scuffle.

Fair enough well either hope the referee sees it, smash him in the next tackle, give him some dirty work on the ground or go for an actual punch up, not just push him in the face and then get dropped.

TBH I didn't see us doing anything that Wigan weren't doing either as far as messing about at the play the ball and high tackles were concerned. Hicks made some strange calls seemingly letting these things ride on some occasions and penalising them on others.

At least none of our lads resorted to the "dying swan" act that Tomkins utilised on numerous occasions to try and milk a penalty.

Given that he was involved in most of our tries, I think we can forgive him that.

Yes I agree with you. He is a quality player who can and does win games for you with his skill, so trying to milk cheap penalties is something he doesn't need to do, and his antics today at times were more akin to what you see in football where it is routine for players to fall over for little or no reason.

Those who watch him week in week out also get to see all the head shots, and cheap shots he takes as well. And he never makes a fuss about them...

I think you'll find your not allowed to say that.

Tomkins could score a 6, set up another 3 and make zero errors but some idiots that support Wigan will moan about him chatting back to the ref or milking penalties.

Some Wigan fans just aren't happy watching the best player in the league. Instead of lauding his talents and appreciating him they moan about his media work or slate him for playing one game of RU.

He's arguably the most talented player we've ever produced through our academy but that's wasted on a good proportion of our fans.

I see Richie Mathers kept up his reputation for being an antagonistic cretin again towards Wigan supporters.

Sam's tries and assits won us the game today.
A scrappy match where Wakefield were a shambles until Poore got sent off.
That had every Wakey player upping his game so they didn't get a big score put against them. Nine tries to four was about the difference.
The missed conversions cost Wigan in points on the board.
Wigan's pack look tired and we do need bodies back. If it's true Hansen and Mossop will be back v Bradford then the timing couldn't be more right.
Taylor and maybe Tuson to miss out with Chris going off early with a leg injury.
Thornley should remain at left centre, Hughes to 2nd row as that's what he is, not a threequarter.
Six points from six over the 10 days and three games, the best in the League. Thankfully a Sunday next week so they'll have a full week between games.

I love how he tried to throw the ball into the stand and managed to find row 4 about 3 blocks further down.

It's his defence this season it seems.

There's someone who sits directly behind me in the West who does nowt but slag pretty much every Wigan player off every single game, and we're rubbish, regardless of who we're playing against or if we're winning or not. Most of the time, we are winning. She says she's embarrassed to be a Wigan fan, well frankly, I'm embarrassed that she is too. This afternoon after Sam went in for his final try, she said that he'll prob get MOM now for that, when he's done nowt all game!!!!!!......

Poore definitely led with the forearm/elbow. How the ref missed it i'll never know.

Just seen the Poore incident.

Looked like the usual handbags at the PTB and then he threw a punch. Wasn't he sent off in a friendly for throwing a punch as well?
