Forced into winning

Is greg following Raper ?. Even allowing for the fact that wires had nothing to lose and were always going to give it to Wigan in the first 40mns, Wigan were particularly woeful. The only thing that worries me is that rather than greg seeing the need for tactical changes, i.e. out of sorts and injured, Lam and Farrel, he only replaced them when forced to do so. Result was Robinson ran the show and Hock was superb. His reason at the press conference, that Wigan tried to play big rugby, spinning the ball etc sounds a bit hollow, especially as he was fully aware that his two main play makers were well below there best.
By the way, anyone else think Cassidy was mom ?. i think he saved us in the first half.

I think he decided to choose experience over everything else and if thats true then I suppose I can see where he's coming from, also its not like Lam and Faz both to have bad matches so I dont think he expected the match to end up like it did in the first half.
To your other question, Kris Radlinski was brilliant and seemed to be the only one alive in the first 40, so in my opinion he was man of the match.
