Very interesting responses. A class player no doubt...

Re: Joe Burgess : Tue Mar 02, 2021 12:30 pm  

Have been a few oddities at Wigan. Why was Charney cast down at his peak? Was terrifying as an opposition fan seeing him line up....
I was really relieved when Manfredi got picked ahead of him for 2015 GF. Sadly for him Dom had a stinker that day too, with at least 3 glaring errors...
Good try mind.!

Because for 6months or so in 15 Charnley's head wasn't in the game and Manfredi was BY FAR the better of the 2 with Burgess cementing the Left wing.

As for 3 x Glaring errors - Must have watched a different game to me - Wigan made 4/5 bad errors/decisions that day but Dom Manfredi's name very rarely comes into my thinking

All I remember from that game is Leeds being given a shocking try by the video ref.

Not that I’m bitter.

Yeah. It was 6-6 at the time and it totally swung the game. It was absolutely appalling that call and it was a credit to the team and coaching staff that they didn’t make a great deal of it.

We still should’ve won the game mind and our mentality hurt us. With a little more belief we’d have won that game with a bit to spare. The aura of Leeds always winning at Old Trafford and the three legends retiring played it’s part in our mindset IMO.

Mcguire dropped it, but came out side-ways and not forwards so play on. Linesman was absolutely adjacent, camera inconclusive.... Wigan stopped playing which was a schoolboy error

Re: Joe Burgess : Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:17 pm  

Sideways

Two really bad errors in second half.
X1 knock on from a great J Tomkins break and pass. Would have been away... Putting Wigan back in front.
X2 tip tackle on Hall for Leeds penalty. Second half. Ill discipline at a crucial stage...

Think was another knock on I can't recall too....
But may have partly made up for it with brilliant mid-air steel on Hall for try.
Never seen anyone out muscle Hally like that before!
