Great effort by the lads last night. Only watched the game on TV but the noise from the warriors fans came over really well. Said on sky 2,000 Wigan fans were there. Does anyone know the official attendance?

They take them as they are part of the squad.
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

What happens if someone gets injured or falls ill before kick off?

I think Farrimond is a special player of the future and just thought he should have been on the bench just incase a little magic was needed just my opinion you never know what he can do if he doesn't get to play he needs keeping at Wigan no detriment to others that didn't get to play .just think he could be someone special.🥳💯

Think Peet got his team and bench selection right.
It was either Forber or Farrimond on the bench with three props.
Forber proved his selection with, IMO, the try which turned the match.

We were poor at times and quite a few mistakes first half but Forber's try and conversion putting us level meant everyone knew what the second half had in store.

For me, Forber’s introduction turned the game. He was far more aggressive around the ruck and his passing from dummy half was far better which allowed our outside backs to exploit the space created by our forwards. This lad will have a big say in our success this season.

You tell them to man up and get on with it 😂 (just kidding).
