another short kick off cock up

Can't argue with that. Well done lads. My daughters first game as well!

Their second one marshall was miles ofside, the touchie wasn't even looking for it ffs!

Well done boys great effort.
Radford will be relieved and pleased with the win but not too happy the way we gave them most of their tries from mistakes and when we switched off late in the game.

Sensational team performance given the forwards we had available. First 40 we rolled them, completely unexpected. Mini and Thompson both really stood up IMO with Taylor, Watts, Ellis and Bowden all out but credit to the bench and Rawsthorne also, youngsters really acquired themselves well. Hopefully one or two back next week.

Outstanding effort particularly the first half, really quick play of the balks, thought having Talanoa back really helped, Wigan throw a lot at us 2nd half but we coped well. Didn't see that coming with the players out.

Hopefully a confidence boosting win that kick starts out season against

I think they were out on their feet the last 10 minutes and had started to shut off mentally.
Wigan threw it about a bit and with their talent it's not surprising that a few things came off for them.

What a win. Great peformance 1 to 17. Bullied the Wigan forwards most of the game even though on paper we looked to be a lot weaker, especially on the bench

Couple of sloppy tries at the end took the gloss off a fantastic showing and made the score flattering to the pies.

Nice gap between us and them a bonus

We seem a real Jeckyll and Hyde team this year, one week we play with so much intensity, with players running some great lines and running hard, we look like a decent outfit.
Then out comes Mr Hyde, we look like thirteen school girls might give us a match.
I just can't work it out. I mean tonight we looked weak in the pack yet the players drove in hard and more importantly played fast and with passion, we really dominated the rook, and while I know Wigan had players missing, the players we put out played outstanding. I just wish we could see that a bit more often.

Exactly what I was about to post! Great win tonight but so frustrating to see us play like that when we chucked away two points against Leigh last Friday. The team needs to find some consistency.

I'd also like to see some of the young players who played so well tonight keep their place. Griffin should not be getting back in ahead of Rawsthorne for example. Play the players who are performing not just becquse they are a bigger name.

Sensational effort to hold out Bentham's best efforts. Thought it'd get messy anyways with backing up from a double header weekend. Masi is a machine and disappointed he couldn't get over the line.

great win tonight, the pack in the 1st half outstanding, Thompson made me eat humble pie tonight, though all the lads stood up well and the binman was terrific, last 10 min we just switched of and maybe fatigue set in, think if it was closer it wouldn't have happened, thought the young kids of the bench really got stuck in as well,again well done lads, just seen the crowd though there was a tad more imo,

Didnt see much wrong with Bentham tonight
Whats your criticism?

The funny thing about Thomo is that some of his best games have been in the front row even though he is lightweight.
Just wonder whether the club could build up his upper body and add some weight without losing his pace then use him as an impact prop.

That blatant knock on for one of their tries that he never sent upstairs, Rawsthorne getting take out in the air, the Kelly knock on that never was, and a few other niggles when Wigan realised they weren't gonna win.

And, as per usual we saw a team warning given and then no penalties for fooking ages, like they don't want to commit to sending someone for ten. I've started to think team warnings do the warned team a huge favour.
