Top of the league poop

I think we have picked up several injuries tonight.
Kelly never in the game after Clubb hit him off the ball.Knee damage i think
Penalties and mistakes were always going to come back and haunt us

No we didn't, we won.
Scrappy second half from what i heard but it's a win.

Sounds like after Shaul scored at start of 2nd half they took their foot off the gas and thought they'd already won.

Poor game management in second half with 22-4 lead all they needed to do was keep turning Wigan round instead of playing dumb rugby and brain farts.

Lucky in the end to have not lost. Still 2pts at Wigan is a positive and lessons to be learnt

Some pretty harsh assessments from some here. Losing Houghton so early and having to do so much defending made me worry we would run out of steam. We made it very hard for ourselves with all the mistakes in the stretch, but on the whole thats a great two points, however it panned out.

Other than their wingers, Wigans team was more of Han decent. Stop believing Wanes whines,

We made a safe game very interesting, and got away with it.

Be happy. Away wins at Wigan are not a usual occurrence.

Jesus! Ive had heart attack. Bloody shaking for that last 10 minutes...

Still, 2pts and a win is all that matters!

Shows how important Houghton is, fair play to Washbrook 70 mins at hooker, when he hardly plays any minutes. Need to deal with kicks better, as three if there try's were from kicks.

Had chances to drop a goal when 22-4, that would have killed them off.

Got to take your hat off to Wigan, fantastic effort.

Let's hope Houghton injury isn't too bad.

Two points and top of the league is the main thing. Scratchy performances are fine this time of year as long as the wins keep coming.

Concerns over Houghton and Kelly though.

Yup, up against 0 at half time, then seemingly collapsed, but 2 points is what counts

Well well. A win away at the champions losing the Man of Steel early and missing Watts, Tuli and Carlos. Cue went on the rack too early, granted, but to be 2nd after 6 games. And having outscored the opposition trywise in our one loss must seem like an OK start for those bleating about Radford's pre season strategy.

Bloody good entertainment, gutted we didn't snatch it in the end but considering it looked like it was going to be a real drubbing 2mins into the 2nd half can't complain.
I thought you played some really good stuff in the first half, chalk and cheese compared to when I saw you against Saints and your scramble defence at the end was outstanding.
Great game !

Agreed. We made metres for fun and should probably have had more in first half, you showed your champion credentials in the second, a nail-biting finish. Very good contest although Radford's not impressed with our handling and the pressure we put ourselves under.

It's not really wines whines tho

Tonight if we had same injuries as wigan we'd of missed
