Bit of a strange match really. Toulouse were rubbish but Wigan were a bit disjointed probably because of an unfamiliar line up and the fact Faz was rested after a first half stint.
Despite the score Wigan never really got out of second gear not helped by the ref who seemed to give Toulouse plenty of repeat sets. Even so they had very little to offer and you could not call this a quality game.
Miski was announced MoM at the ground and probably deserved it for the tries but also he looked up for it compared to some of the other players. Very enthusiastic. KPP looked sprightly on his return. O’Neil came on in the second half and made three breaks from dummy half which showed Powell how it’s done. i know people get sick of me banging on about Powell but against this lot a decent hooker should have had a field day but he didn’t.
Smith’s goal kicking was really good. Only downside was Ellis injury. It was close to half time and the idea was clearly to keep him on until the break but he waved to come off having played the ball.
Powell's fine. He can kick pretty well out of dummy half too. As said above, a bit disjointed, but Toulouse were very poor (seen them perform much better before this season). Glad we steered clear of Corey Norman. Some good execution for the scores, and as for Field, as I said at the other place, isn't it great to have a guy in your side who can score a try like Field's? And hey, we've got two of them!
