We did in the first half when they were pinned in their left corner and got penalised for it straight away. The amount of times you heard Child warn a Wigan player to get their hand off the ball but not give us a set restart was a joke compared to us who he seemed to give a set restart against whenever Hastings waved his arms up and down.

Guess we see different things.
Mental state, conditioning and muscle memory needs rewriting for most of these players after years of playing the Radford way.
Maybe tiredness and fatigue set in towards the end but our attitude never waned.

Hastings and Bateman were both playing the ref with their theatrics.

To be fair I thought we were slow getting into the game in the first 20 mins as opposed to Wigan who were quick out the blocks. I honestly thought other than a few errors our defence was good and we were patient and worked our way in to the game. For all everyone lauds Wigan and how well they've played so far and last night to think the game was in the balance until the last seconds just shows we are a much more together and structured side already in such a short time.

Interesting that even a lot of Wigan fans have said that they got the rub of the green and got a lot of decisions their way. Hopefully in time we will be afforded a more even spread but last night the same as against Wakefield I certainly didn't think we any worse on infringements than the opposition to warrant the differences in set restarts.
There were a couple of things that annoyed me in particular for almost identical infringements where Childs penalised us yet Wigan do the same and all we got was a shout of '6 Again'.

And not forgetting Powell as he must have puppet strings on his arms as every time Wigan are tackled and he's there at the ptb his arms are up and down like crazy pleading to the officials.

Thrilling end to end rugby loads of skill,a great advert for our game,Hope scotts injury isnt too bad,

Very happy with our start to the season, there is a noticeable uplift in intensity and fitness and we are more unpredictable. I never have an issue losing if it's been a tight game and we've given our all, much better than the 'hands on hips after a mistake' stuff we saw from 2018 onwards.

You impressed me last night. I expected a comfortable Wigan win, especially when Taylor came off.

McNamara really struggled I thought, Renolyds back next week should make a difference.

With the return of JR, neutral venue and a bit more motivation after the Clubb incident I can see you turning us over now.

From a neutral pov, first half I thought you guys did really well mixing the kicks up, limiting French and hardakers involvements on returns and tackle 1.

Good bit of game planning there.

Very professional joint statement from both clubs to address the Savelio/Clubb incident.

I've stayed quiet on the clubb event, but the fact he hasnt said anything and he has been suspended, speaks volumes.

I would rather him just apologies and take his punishment.

Definitely Dave, a weeks holiday in New Zealand, two weeks if he’s guilty.

A a Polynesian I just wonder what the Wigan Coach Lam thinks of the comment.
Think Clubb will be banned from the game

Big Chris is now our number one prop
After a slow start at the club he has worked hard with his fitness level and it shows.

He’s our only prop at the moment.
