This result makes it much more likely that we will finish 9th. There is a distinct advantage in finishing 9th rather than 10th.

Smith the whinger moaning about a dubious try! He wants to moan about the Warrington flippers! That's the only thing they do at the play the ball! Offside all night! What a load of nonsense.....I hope huddersfield beat Leigh, and the wire get new coaching staff...

Hiku had a good game, doesn't take any poop either.

You just cant be a fan of anything about Wigan's Style of play.
the latest tactic I've noticed them using across the team (previously only a pre NRL Sam tomkins tactic)is when the tackled wigan player sticks his leg out into the Warrington Tackler either by wrapping it round a leg or an arm and trapping the tackler in. It's simply trying to gain a penalty for a feigned holding down.

The usual Grubs did it last nigh O'loughlin McClorum and Bateman , but even baby faced Liam Marshal was doing it.

but just absolutely priceless when Bateman for No reason at all tried to Bitch slap Hiku and gave us the game.

Lets enjoy it but nothing to get carried away about...Wigan arent a good team.

And I've been threatening myself to type this for a few weeks now:
George Williams...............Is he the most overrated player on the planet...... I havent seen him boss a game all season... he'll have a nothing game then maybe take the line on and pop his nose through and score but I'm not so sure wigan fans can be happy with him other than they can crow about him being another Wigan born "superstar"

Re: Tonight's game v Wigan. : Fri Jul 14, 2017 10:51 am  

Did you not notice at least 2 of your players doing dramatic Oscar-worthy dives to win penalties? Swings and roundabouts isn't it.

And yes Williams is out of form but still one of the best halves in SL on his day. Still leading try assists in SL and top 10 for tackle busts and offloads and defensively can't fault him.

Also, did anyone else see Tomkins water the ball down with the water bottle before their goal-line dropout in the second half, in the hope that we'd knock on? Bet Sky didn't pick that up! Such a role model.

Didn't notice that. I would like a second look at the incident when Currie went through & was possibly tripped by Tomkins.

Yes that should have been a penalty but once again missed by the officials........

Ratchford copped a ban the other week for a "lesser trip" whereas Tomkins positively went out his way to trip/push/shoulder Currie out of the way.

Re: Tonight's game v Wigan. : Fri Jul 14, 2017 11:51 am  

Anyone had a look at the Wigan board about last night's display against us.

They are going into meltdown about their "boring" style of play.

So funny........
