Hope he's OK, takes a lot to put him down this way, very fit strong bloke.
Think Wish FM put their finger on it last night.

That was me BM. You would of thought the logical thing to do would move lockers back to 13 and play sarg at stand off but he didn't. Sarg played 13 for that spell.

Well done Wane for utilising our squad at a difficult part of the season and doing so in a way that didn't cost us points unlike the other two teams in the top 3
I was annoyed when, on the third tackle, only just after getting back in front, Manfredi threw a needless pass to nobody in particular and then, next tackle see another penalty given away that saw Hull KR regain the lead.
Poor game management and control at a time Wigan were crying out for it.
Wigan were lucky in a few incidents and relied on a very sloppy pass from Dixon for Charnley to race away and put us back in front.
They noticeably tired after that and started to miss numerous one on one tackles, coupled with Joel being taken off to reduce the number of penalties being gifted to them
Solid if unspectacular but I cannot for the life of me figure out how Tierney got a place straight into full back after being out the side for so long. Looked well off the pace and very shaky under there kicking game
Thought at one point Sarge played stand off when Bateman went off not loose forward as some have said :doz:

Negligently using our squad is not what I want to see. Interestingly John Bateman flogged himself again yet recurring head knocks to a player playing week in week out is fine by fans and a coach who you all seem to forget said on his arrival, John Bateman will not play week in week out, he will regularly be rested. Whatever happened to that? Does a fullback, Sarge need a rest at this stage of the season or Sam Powell? How many minutes has Sam played in total? The reserve bench was a shocking selection."We had three 17-year-old kids playing, our average age was 21"
Are we any better than Saints though Josie :exc:josie andrews wrote:Concussion again but seems okay.Panchitta Marra wrote:Was John Bateman knocked out late on in the game, wish FM said it was a bad knock and he looked knocked out.

Why? It happened twice in the game! It's a precaution when a player gets banged on the head to take them off under the "concussion" rule.ian.birchall wrote:I worry about the again in your quote there Josie.josie andrews wrote:Concussion again but seems okay.Panchitta Marra wrote:Was John Bateman knocked out late on in the game, wish FM said it was a bad knock and he looked knocked out.

As always, Josie, a fair summing up and roll on Friday (maybe!!)josie andrews wrote:After a strenuous & hard fought win on Friday, I think the players need a bit of slack!
Yes, there were bound to be some mistakes but we won as tired & hurt bodies displayed a great amount of grit & fortitude to win comfortably in the end.
It's going to be hard again on Friday v Warrington & we should get behind & support the team in which is the hardest period of the season, we've won two out of two so far in the short turnaround.
All I can say is 'Well Done Wigan Warriors' & 'Good Luck on Friday'.
