although he did well most huddersfield tries were on Marsh's side
I've only seen the highlights as I couldnt get to the game, but to me each of those tries ends up with Marsh attempting to tackle the scorer into touch.
What the highlights don't show is the number of times when the defence on that side was excellent. In a way, given how often Huddersfield targetted that side, 3 tries conceded is a pretty good effort. In particular, Marsh pulled off a superb try-saver near the end (when, I think, the score was 30-all). They were pretty well constructed tries, too - similar moves to the ones that have worked so often for us.

I agree with those who've said he needs to bulk up a bit, but he's still only a young lad, and I definitely see him holding down a regular first team spot in a year or two - whether at centre or fullback.

I dont really see how people can say Goulding went missing, he was on his wing for all the tries. He made a mess of the first Hodgson try, when he came in when there was no need, and was at fault for that but there is no way he was at fault for the others. Similarly Pryce was at fault for the Cudjoe try when he came in when there was no need to. Marsh I think struggles a lot defensively at centre at this level and is a weak link when playing in that position, which is understandable due to his age and size. He was at fault for the Whatuira try and Huddersfield definately targeted him. The other tries though were caused simply by good play by Huddersfield and Wigan being reduced to 12 men.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
