How's Watts going. He's the best player you've got( he believes).
Cost you 2-4points in 4 games.

We win & lose as a team pal that's the moto at our club.

I think it was a pretty positive performance overall. Most wigan's territory came from our ill discipline around the play of the ball. I know some blame the ref for over policing but we should have realised that after the first few penalties. We are attacking and playing wonderful rugby. The rest will come with time.

We all have differences of opinion about our team but remember we are all after the same thing, no need to get personal about it.

Haven't got the full stats but the headline ones reflected the game - broadly equal although we made more metres and missed fewer tackles. Obviously only one stat that really counts though.

lineham was the difference last season and we don't have the same kind of quality on the flanks now. We need to improve our defence or we'll lose and possibly heavily. widnes are a quick side who move the ball about well. They won't try and take us on down the middle

that was the home game, the away game we bossed them after the first 20 minutes, keeping them scoreless for 65 minutes

agreed about them getting the ball outwide, brown loves the cut out pass (lineham fed off it in the home game last year)

Not quite matched his performances of last season. After he helped maul your forwards in the Derby I was expecting him to carry forward his form. Early days but I'm sure he'll be back to his best soon, Scott Taylor, however has been nothing short of superb. As the song goes "Scott Taylor is one of our own" After Watts, Taylor and Paea I wonder if James Green will be on our radar for next season. Yet to sign a contract I believe? We seem to have an uncanny knack of pinching your best props. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde "to lose one of your props to your bitterest rival is a misfortune to lose not two but three is carelessness." On the subject of props how are Tilse and Allgood playing?

We won 25-12 with lineham scoring a hat trick.

did he get hat trick both games? knew he got one in the home game, i must be thinking of the game the season before where lancaster played, mind sneyd totally outplayed brown in the game at widnes

To balance things whilst Lineham is a very good finisher he's a weaker defender than Michaels and no pacier. The interceptions against Widnes are part luck, part good anticipation and his coming out the line to go for interceptions cost us more than double the tries he scored from makong them. That night at home the interceptions were really the only difference between us and them which given widnes's appalling injuries at that time meant it was far from a.convincing win against a bottom 4 team.
ATEOTD we have spent right up to the cap plus FP extras, you can only get what you can and that sacrifice on top quality will be somewhere. Ours is our backs from 2-7 inclusive, that's Radfords decision and if that balance doesn't work out then it's completely down to him and he should go.
As I said, we are 4 games in, we haven't lost badly just dissapointingly, what happens now at Widnes will show what we are made of.
Win and we are back in the hunt, lose and that really will make for worrying times.

I was sorry to see lineham go but he still looks lazy in defense what I've seen of him this year

We won our first two games with a combined difference of 50 points and lost the next two with a combined difference of 8 points, against 2 very good teams. Hardly time for the sackcloth and ashes. Some people on here need to get a grip and either get behind the team or p*ss off.

This /\ /\ /\ .

Support your team. Criticise it if you must, but ultimately get behind them and hope they win. Too many on here seem happier when we're losing. From what I've seen and heard this season, we're a much better team than last year and hopefully we can only get better.
