Very disappointing but understandable with injuries and limited interchange options. Did well to keep score down. I thought the forwards were OK but obviously tired. Manu, Hadley & Mini deserve particular praise. Half backs very poor Sneyd went missing for most of the game and if that was Kelly playing to impress the Aussie clubs I think we will be keeping him next year. Griffin showed up well in attack and defense and seems to have turned a corner.

Correct.
Losing an away game to one of SL's main protagonists and favourites for this year's comp is far from disastrous.

I agree. After 12 minutes I was expecting a complete blow out. In the conditions and with the reduced interchanges it was one of our best defensive displays in recent years

It wasnt really was it - Wigan were guilty of making a few daft decisions which saved a whitewash. They could of scored another five if theyed made the right decisions or had a bit more luck. We on the other hand wouldnt of scored again if the match was twice as long

Sums it up for me. Defence was outstanding.

So your friend's assessment was that the team put no effort in? Crikey.

Houghton calf, Watts hamstring, Connor PCL.

If that's a benchmark for success then count me out.

Thing is the game has to try stuff. The concept's given the sport a lot of incremental media coverage, afforded the teams warm weather training and the fans a unique travel opportunity. To innovate you have to try things, the world's moving at pace. We have to expand Super League's geographic reach IMO, this has been a small but interesting way of trying it.

It was a bigger crowd than this game attracted at the Kcom or the DW last season. This trip is also more about forging links and gaining sponsors than it is crowd numbers. I thought it looked full enough for the TV and although the game was scrappy it was entertaining enough.

The only thing that concerns me is how we go when we are back from the tour. Some tough fixtures so no time to be jetlagged or we could find ourselves in a very tricky situation early doors.

Would be nice if we can return the favour to Wigan and invite them to take our Home game next season on the road. USA or Canada would be great.

Seems your mates a bit of a fool then. 14 points given it all is miraculous. Without effort it would of been 60.
Watts and Connor have played with injuries that will probably have them out for weeks
Think mini got patched up to go back out too

We all see things differently but after some initial wobbles we shored up the defence. Only 2 barges over by props for wigan in the 2nd half
