McIllorum probably got the rest of the team a couple of rounds in before the post match rush........

<t>On the subject of forwards, I know that a certain aussies view is that we don't have a decent enough pack to compete.<br/> <br/> I'm not sure if he was referring to a specific game (HKR as we were understrength then - partially due to O'Carroll being dropped in favour of Colbon) or on the whole s...

<r>I think it was The Smiths that put it best in their song; <br/> <br/> "some high tackles are bigger than other high tackles"<br/> <br/> apologies to The Smiths and to anyone who doesn't know what i'm referring to...........<E>;)</E><br/> <br/> Back to the point; <br/> <br/> That is why I was so f...

<r>There was nothing in teh Mathers tackle. He kept his arms down and was committed to the tackle - look at how much ground he makes up coming across to cover - maybe he was out of position <E>;)</E><br/> <br/> Mcillorum's tackle was nowhere near as bad as Morleys in the 1st test against the aussies...

<t>I think fridays game left me hugely frustrated, but that was mainly down to the referee ruiing the chance of some sort of contest. <br/> <br/> I have to say i thought wigan put a huge amount of effort in and never gave up.<br/> <br/> After the sending off at 5mins I think it is unfair to be too c...

<t>Watching saints warming up on friday, when the dummy half picked up the ball they were moving with it then giving themselves options as to where to pass; <br/> <br/> -turn back inside<br/> - 1st man out<br/> - 2nd man out<br/> - dummy half run<br/> <br/> every time I couldn't really see where the...

<t>There were also another couple of times where the ball was stripped out of the hand, either in multiple tackles (Hock driving the ball out near his own line at half time, resulting in a try to saints on the hooter), and another deliberate knock on by Maurie I think which went unnoticed and also h...

<t>I noticed that after watching the superleague site highlights after the Tomkins try - no one was anywhere near him - very strange.<br/> <br/> Coley especially looked knackered -I don't know how long he played, but IMO it agains suggests that we should have had an extra forward on the bench rather...

<t>I don't think it's either backs or forwards where saints are better, it's their overall teamwork and style of play. <br/> <br/> They support each other all the time and make it hard for the defence to take it easy. They are excellent at knowing when to go up a gear to take advantage of a gap in t...

<t>i would be very interested to know what Noble is doing to try and sort out the inconsistency in Wigans play. <br/> <br/> we've seen this all season where they have a good result then throw the next game away. <br/> <br/> if we are still doing the same things in training and then just hoping we co...
