Anybody want to offer some praise to this Wigan team and SW?

[Exiled Wiganer]

Superb performance - we took them apart, without our best player.
Fantastic conditioning, glorious defence, great team selection and vastly improved attack. Hats off SW!

Honestly I think Bennett was on to something with Bateman at centre he gets better each game tbh,credit to Wane for trying him there

He played centre for us long before Bennett tried him there and correct me if I am wrong but he might have even played there for the Bulls!

Don't know whether he played there for the Bulls but I think had Sarge been fit, you would not have seen Bateman at centre anyway. So it will be interesting to see what Wane does once Sarge is fit.

Will he go with what some would say is the best centre pairing of Bateman and Gildart or will he revert to playing Sarge? It's a particularly intriguing selection dilemma for the cup fixture v Wire if both are fit.

Must admit I didn’t remember if he’d played there for the bulls but am more than happy to be corrected on that.

I’d go with Bateman at centre than Sarge,he simply isn’t offering anything concrete at the moment he’s seems to have injury after injury get him right rather than rushing him back to go round the path again.

Really Dave, only you could twist an excellent Wane decision into a stroke of blind good luck. You have excelled yourself. ????

Defo best performance of the season and wane got it spot on......playing bateman centre was a good move...... also i thought we got into the faces of people like masila and brown...... our defence was spot on and we forced a lot of errors......escare off the bench added much more late on.......marshy defo give as good as he got with charnley........we played on masilas weakness of getting back into the defensive line........we did have a bit of luck but thoroughly deserved the win......i thought joel did especially well keeping his head early doors........ tommys big hit was a blinder...... only blot was the terrible attack to farrells head that seemed to go unnoticed....... it deserved a straight red

I noticed that Brown was easy to wind up, I think that needs to be played on in the Quarter Final.

yes and it wound our lads up in a good way.....i think masila is the one to play on...... he doesnt like getting tackled and is very lazy getting back into defence

[widdenoldboy]

Probably best all round performance since WCC?

Intensity and controlled aggression - superb.

Powell did a decent job, Tomkins showed what we will be missing. Hope Sutton stays.

Suttons been our best player this season imo....... followed closely by isa
