That's very true. Their tactics are tailored for Sam Tomkins, so when he doesn't play they struggle and then have no other option.

O'Loughlin really masks how average their forwards are too when ours, who are so weak, ran over them all night.

Did you notice that meli and Turner (especially meli) was getting up in their line fast outwide to stop that set play they use all the time ?

If you can stop that play, you will go a long way to beating Wigan.

They remind me of the old bulls side, not in the way they play but the fact they have no plan B.

The half back gets the ball goes to his right, the dummy run from Farrell, pass to Tomkins round the back into the bit of a gap with the 'step' inside, create the overlap with the winger coming inside to take out Tomkins which then puts Charnley into a gap move. The move they usually do on the 3rd tackle (not that it's predictable), that move?

To be fair, whilst you can call it predicatable, they do very well from it.
We hustled well out wide - O'Brien especially at times.

Wigan are a nasty, nasty team and not in a good way. The result was ultimately of little importance in the greater scheme of things, but their consistently disgusting tactics (and the p-poor ref letting them get away with it) lend a pleasant piquency to the result that it otherwise would have lacked. Ha.

Is there a good way to be nasty?

Scott Taylor got off with it at the RFL.

The decision to let the cheap-shot merchant off doesn't even slightly surprise me. No doubt Wellens will get 4 games for the water incident though. The whole sport of RL is a complete and utter ****ing national laughing stock run by idiots. Why would we expect anything else?
