[quote="Wigan_forever19 85 "]Credit where Credit is due; a great team performance.

Sometimes having a superstar in your team can have the negative effect that you always err towards his side of the pitch to try and get him involved in the play.

it depends what injury it was, if was an elbow its a stretcher case, but the kid was probably in too much pain anyhow, and most likely on entonox for the pain so would have been easier for them
anyway a good game sat in top right south stand corner nice perch. Lulu did tremendous to make the try with 3 defenders on him.

Team played well Roberts vastly improved since last week.

a win is nice but we need CONSISTANCY

What a pleasure to see Amos earn his coin for once. Give Pryce some game time and he could do damage. Seemed unsure where he should be but started to find his place towards the end. Hope Lockers not too serious, we need him. Keep it up lads,

In overheard him on the mic, saying, "I've just sent him (Sam Tomkins) to't sin bin", and then a Harlequins player must have told him a joke or said something funny to him, and then he started laughing".

Jim yoursd was a daft theory as is this. jim was wrong because he accused trent of not being a team player even though he gave up playing on the left side the one he prefers to play on the right for the benefit of the team. Just as Sam Tomkins is doing now.

We still shifted right to left when passing. All teams will as 90% of players prefer to pass that way. I think you will be suprised how little play went left to right unless it was from a break or a last tackle kick.

Sometimes you have to be careful not to read too much into 2 games. You could for example say oh no Martin Gleeson must make us better as a team and better down that side. No Tim Smith likewise.

We nearly got relegated the last time Hock and Lockers were out for a lengthy time.
