9:30 i think

[Mr Stu]

Well done Wigan although you made hard work of the game I feel we should of had 3 tries in the first 20 min.

The last minutes trip to Bradford was worth it.

The reson for the last minute journey was.
As usual we book our coach with the ticket office which picks us up at the wheel at 12.30.
There was about 30 Supporters waiting.
At 1.30 still no coach had turned up some one phoned the man who runs the coach but there was no answer. Ended up going back to get the car and drove over to Bradford with minutes to spare

i was there as well. the coach situation was ridiculas, thankfully some great people gave me a lift around 2ish and just about got there. not hat you need after a heavy night out

watched the game with the bradford fans

Bailey looked in serious pain

Fielden rubbish again

Piggy put in some good game time

Mossop under used and not trusted by Nobble in my opinin

Great spell in second half from coley and Presscott - coley looked good in second row

big spell in 1st half from feka - but why bring him back on so late

[GeoffN]

Made hard work of that! Completely dominated the first half, with only a slender lead to show for it, admittedly in awful conditions. Carelessly let them back into the game second half, but good resilience to come back, albeit very late. Credit to Gleeson for being invisible for 75 minutes but then winning us the game!

We still haven't found a solution to the stand off position when TL goes to hooker; Pryce clearly isn't, and neither is Gleeson, so step up Flanagan until Macca returns.

Phelps has shown yet again that he isn't a fullback.

For Bradford, of the two ex-Wigan hookers they have, I thought Godwin was by far the better.

Yet another scrappy two points, which is good, and I've just found out Wire got hammered, which is also good!

We seriously need to get that stand-off/hooker dilemma sorted for the Leeds game, though.

[thomo]

We got battered for 30 minutes in the second half and had same 13 on for a long spell

Anyone know the Bailey situation - he looked knackered when he went off and feka didn't look right but his runs set up two tries.

too right on the second hooker - in my opinion it has to be like for like - who is the u21 hooker - can he not step in?

[turf]

How was the performance of Richard Silverwood?

[pedro]

poor

[cpwigan]

Flannagan is the best bet at hooker. A real dark horse would be to play Liam Farrell there. Sam Gee the U21 hooker is not up to SL IMO. Stuart Howarth is a better hooker than Gee but he is out for the rest of the season with a bad injury.
