Wigan squads for Derby double-header

[Charriots Offiah]

Seems like Sky Sports have a new golden child now in Robertson. The poor hunchback will be wondering what’s happened. How is it that ekersley gets man of the match but sky sports cover the saints players more than ours?

Well done boys, big disruptions in the squad and pivotal positions but we did the job.

I was talking to Sam Tomkins about 5 minutes before the end of the game when Brian Carney interrupted & asked who has he picked for MOM? He replied Zack Eckersley before carrying on our conversation

The lad never put a foot wrong and he was the game breaker. Can anyone tell me what Lomax was complaining about when Eckersley beat him to score?

Not a clue maybe because he’s getting slower I don’t know thought he was poor tbh

[Firestarter]

Cant believe nobody has mention Radlinski, basically telling carney he talks s£&@e ,.pre game. Good lad kris he needed telling

Good hard fought win, with not being very fluent in attack.
Hopefully will be better next week with O'Neill back at dummy half and Farrimond on the outside, giving better options.
Mago and Byrne not offering us much with short spells on the field.
Mago needs to step up, seems to have gone backwards again.

[Southern Softy]

Eckersley right choice for MOM but Farrell became more and more influential as the match went on. Last 15 minutes he was the best forward on show and that says something when you consider Havard, Thompson and Ellis were also outstanding.
Major congrats to Matty for the inventive way of dealing with no regular hooker available. Farrimond needs to improve his passing for the future and I'm getting a little worried about Dupree who doesn't seem to be the same player as when we signed him. Maybe there's something going round the team because Hill, Walters, Byrne and Mago also seemed to be a bit off the pace.
Hilarious when saints went potty to the ref when Eckersley scored despite there being nothing at all wrong with the try. Some eccentric reffing on display though.
And can there be a better pairing that Wardle and Marshall in SL?

What exactly happened with Bevan French? Was it a pre-match warm up injury or what?

Very impressed with ZE! He looked very confident and reminded me a young Radders

[M6 Warrior]

Does anyone know when Jai, Kruise and Coops are due back? Fingers crossed it’s not too long as we’re getting to that part of the season when injuries and suspensions (courtesy of Cullen & Cronies) start to mount up

Failed captains run. Going for scan on hamstring. Time out is mere speculation no one knows till results. Best 4 week worst 8.

I thought we played that really well considering our missing players. Throw Brad O’Neil back in and I think we win easily. I thought Moore was appalling, did we get a penalty in the 2nd half, there were at least 2 big shoulder charges from Percival. Thought Welsby showed what a classless loser he really is during the match.

I don’t agree with other posters regarding our players staying down, other teams do it, its about time we stopped being so honest and started playing the system as well.

I quoted Ellis, because he's done it 2 weeks running, Dupree is another culprit, and yes other teams do it.
To say others do it, so we should, isn't the answer, it becomes a very short straw to us ending up like football, with play acting becoming the norm.
The RFL / Super League need to hand out warnings to players to stop it, it's not what the game is about, we don't need cheats.
