Good to see Cooper Clarke on the Wire teamsheet
sorry, all i see from him is the mistakes he keeps making every game
I liked the idea of Joel playing prop.
I thought he had a good game today.

I actually thought Tommy was much better today, that kick out on the full excepted.
I think it's a bit rich to bleat about how hard done we were, when the winning try should never have been allowed, the pass was a mile forward. But I suppose you should blame the touchie for that more than the ref. That said, enormous credit to Marshall for pwning Atkins (how great was that to see?
) and forcing his way over. I thought he was terrific.

All you're meant to see is his mistakes. (That IS sarcasm.)

1. We were the better side and should have won comfortably.
2. George Botica and his 100% conversion, including some tough ones from both touch-lines.
3. Bateman. Him and Farrell are machines. Best two second-rowers in the league for me. Keep them fit.
4. Sam. Wasn't perfect, but for his first game back since last autumn, he looked good. Scared the life out of the Warrington defence, and I'm not sure how Ratchford and Hughes both escaped a yellow card.
5. We won.
6. Some lovely "D" at times (although not consistent enough), with Bateman and Farrell doing what they do in defence, and some eye-catching tackles from McIlorum, Marshall and Leuluai.
7. We're going to get better.
The defence is a worry,it isnt as it should,or at least we as Wigan fans have come to expect,but it'll gell.
Thought Bateman had a decent enough game,but screaming like a petulant child at a fairly inexperienced Marshall wasnt pretty to see,the lad cocked up he knew it have a word by all means but ways and means of doing it without it affecting as it clearly did when he gave away the penalty a few moments later,its a mans game of course but even so.
Worring given how poor Wire really are they ran Wigan so close,still plenty to do but looking at it as a cup tie it wasnt a bad one and yup wigan won

Yeah, if you've got hopes of lifting the Cup, you'll need to play a lot better than either side managed here. Great to see Bateman back, though, and Sam seemed pretty much how we remember: improving our attack with good support play, but still sometimes fallible defensively.

How many more do we have left to get our defence sorted before the next round?

I hope you are right.
This game v Wire was at a time where some of our more key players returned, theyre not match fit and havent played as a unit for a number of months.
This unit will only get better barring more injuries, however, we will have to cut out the unforced mistakes and stupid penalties.
Do you think We should stick with two hookers, I thought Williams was caught out yesterday in the way he comes forward and the different passing styles of powell/McIlorum meant he struggled to consistently catch the ball well off the PTB.
