Just watched it back, Wilkin what the fk are you watching, absolute tosser.
The overall commentary is very poor. It was like three blokes having a chat in the pub.
I’ve been saying this for years. I can’t stand listening to them prattling on about anything other than the game they’re watching. It’s because of this I end up not watching other teams because of the inane rubbish they keep spouting

Anyone know when the full match will be on WiganTV?
After midnight Sunday
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
Just listening to the commentary on YouTube. It feels as though I m sitting in front of 2 blokes who are constantly shouting down my ear at the game. It could be a darts match.
The commentary belittles the spectacle and play.

I didn't notice that at the time TBH. Seemed fine. Wilkins being forced to get defensive about saints was a highlight IMO. When he gets biased we're doing something right!

Him getting upset about not getting a penalty and being corrected being told it was a 50/50 and subsequently losing his shit was great

I watched it in a pub in Leeds with no commentary, just music. Pure bliss.
I know what's happening anyway so I don't need them telling me the wrong player names etc
i thought we controlled the game well from the 1st minute to the 80th. yes Saints made some breaks, but generally they were poor and looked like they had no idea what to do with the ball in hand
Harry Smith IMO was outstanding, and controlled the game with some fantastic last tackle kicking. In the 2nd half, Makinson must have been proper f***ed off with him, dropping the ball 2m out from the Saints line, and getting hit by the chase (on repeat).
if i was being ultra-critical of the performance it was we didnt attack Saints right side enough. Hurrell must be a nightmare with ball in hand, but equally is a turnstile in defence, and we should have gone there more after we scored that 1st try as i think we may have had more success
