Said the same thing to my wife Mike he is nowhere near the Marshall of old.

Take the win but it proves Wigan in dire need of a couple of young Tony Club sized props the side looked much better.

KPP looked knackered to me in that second half

But let’s be brutally honest that was 2 poor sides evenly matched

As was Gildart.

The SL has got to do something about players going down for minor injuries and asking for the game to be stopped. It's being abused too much. Is it time for a player having to leave the pitch for a number of tackles if treatment has been given on the pitch? Yes it would penalise the genuinely injured. But until theres a downside to stopping the game players are clearly going to do it at will.

Not much point talking about most players and the team because Lam has got it all taped. "Attack- it'll come right soon enough..................! "

It must be time to think about O'Neill being given a run at hooker. Powell looks shot and is offering no go-forward at the PTB. As nothing else is going to change, let's try that.
Fair play to Shorrocks - in with a shout of player of the season for his efforts.
Fewer penalties this week. Sheer coincidence that Smithies, Havard and Partington weren't there I suppose.
But Byrne was, well he was on the pitch at least (mr flopper)

When Powell went down a little argument kicked off between and Huddersfield and Wigan fan as the Huddersfield fans was kshouting get on with it.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

What about loose forward? He's big enough, I'd love to see what he could at loose with Hastings and Smith in the halves
I’ve saying exactly the same thing for several weeks!!

That lad will play well anywhere coz hes a natural talent…… i do however think running out wide at centre or second row will suit him best…… someone said earlier that shorrocks plays like a 13 which i totally agree with

Josh Jones touched his nose after he tackled Jacko then went down like a sack of sh** then the trainers come on & ref says it’s a head injury! Game stopped

Powell goes down with a knock, trainer is on, game carries on!


Then what about that Gavet or whatever his name is? He went down in a tackle held his back then rolled over on his back for a Hollywood Oscar as if he’s been poleaxed!
The ref stops the game again!

Why are the refs being sucked in with these trivial knocks & all the play acting to get the game stopped?

I very nearly walked out of the game at this point I was so fed up!

Are coaches telling players to do this

Said the same about Shorrocks too, but do our coaches not see the natural talents of our players?
