Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Credit where it's due. Mago had one of his better games. Made plenty of post contact metres, his first run in the 2nd half left Holroyd on the floor and allowed Powell to jump out and put Faz into space for our first try in the 2nd half.

Re: Morgan Knowles sees red - again

That's a shocker.
At any point in the game that's a bad tackle.
He's out for a at least 3-4 games.

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

That was a game. Probably most nervous watching it as I've been in quite a while. We showed a real attitude there to get back into the game and lots to like especially in our backs. Good to hear Peet admit he got it wrong not giving Nsemba enough time last week. In my mind he displayed more attitude...

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Happy with that team.

Pace back in the side with Marshall and Hampshire.

Ball playing loose forward.

Ellis back and 3 forwards on the bench

Looking forward to seeing Nsemba get more time

Re: Wigan V Leeds 12/05/23

Typical Leeds performance and something they've done to Wigan for years - but never quite so convincingly. It's almost like it's their game plan to play awful, let us get complacent then start playing with an attitude where they make their own luck. I can't recall seeing a game which looked like it ...

Re: Luke Thompson

I imagine we would be the fallback option if no AU's clubs are prepared to take a risk - especially if his ankle doesn't fully recover this season in time to prove himself. It has all the hallmarks of being turned down late in the day or signing a player still with injury concerns. Either way looks ...

Re: Ruck speed

The ref was constantly shouting ' Surrender' when the wire players went to ground - I've never heard so many calls. Naturally we exploited that as the rules allow/. It's strange that wilkin makes such a big thing about it when only a few games ago Cats were praised for controlling the ruck against W...

Re: Joe Shorrocks back with Wigan Warriors following Leigh Leopards loan spell

I think one of our problems in attack has been a lack of ball playing forward.

Partington and Shorrocks have filled that previously and without it we are far too predictable, especially without a creative 9 in the team.

Close down Cust one side and Smith the other and we're so easily restricted.

Re: Wigan Squad for Salford

I think we're missing a creative 13 far more than has been mentioned. Without that extra player to straighten the defence up it makes us far to easy for the defence to slice across and defend the edges.

Re: Tonights Game v Catalans Dragons

I think there a pretty big OTT reaction to that defeat last night. Cats played very high completion and in defence they were really organised and aggressive on their line. In the wet it's hard to work the space on the outside so the focused on the middle. Saying that they made some great defensive p...
