Heads went down a little on full time when Penrith scored the equalising goalkick.

The turning point in extra time was when Percival used every ounce of his strength to get himself and the ball out of the in goal area. If he doesn't do that Penrith get the ball back with the chance of an easy drop goal to win it.

Was a pivotal moment for sure

On another note Cas on the handicap may be a good bet for Sunday. I’m not saying they’ll beat us but they won’t lose by much.

Judging by the players social media pics, they’re still drinking now. Not back until probably at least tomorrow then 2-3 days to get their body clock sorted and shake the jet lag off and we’ll be lucky to get two training sessions in before Cas.

Better hand the title back. Lose your first game and the season is over with apparently.

No worries. Just seen that message now on Twitter, nice gesture. At least now we can get the domestic rivalry back and that Wigan v Saints thread can come back to life

No problem with that as long has we don’t get idiots on there.

Yes, we spoke about that yesterday. Managed to watch the 1st half on my sons phone and the 2nd in a pub where we had stopped for breakfast on our way to HKR.
Fair play to Saints they were well worth the win, the forward pass decision looked wrong but I haven't watched it back yet, suffering watching the HKR recording today is more than enough suffering for any Wigan fan.

Just off topic, can all of you give Carley Stenson your votes on Dancing on Ice tonight. She is my daughters best friend and has been since junior school. They have sang together, been each others chief bridesmaids, holidayed together etc etc. and Catherine along with her husband Mark with our grandkids Summer and Cian have all gone down to watch Carley tonight.
