who cares if it was forward, sitting in the middle of the east stand, there was a blatant forward pass in the build up to wiggans first try

radford was superb, dowes and cusack also had a great game

Agreed. Amos Roberts got bummed by Cusack!

What a game Radford had.I have been one of his critic's before but tonight he certainly made me eat my words.The Black and White's seemed very fit tonight and Wigan looked tired out in the last quarter.

We looked far shakier when Radford was not on the pitch. Certainly one in the eye tonight for all the doubters.

Was Radford even playing?

Superb knock from Radders. Lead from the front in a very good forward performance.

I don't know what I missed, but it seemed like a typical Radford performance tonight, i.e. solid, but not overly effective. As always, he was far too intent in gaining an extra couple of inches at the expense of a quick play, costing us ground on the subsequent play.

Compared to the praise Tickle, who played around 20 minutes longer and was far more effective on both sides of the ball, has received, the praise Radford is getting is very OTT. I'd love him to produce something extra (and he has in the past, mainly a couple of years ago when he was putting in much longer stints and working harder in them), but it's just not there at the minute. He could learn a lot from Cusack when it comes to economies of scale.

Radders and Cusack where outstanding last night best games for a long time.

Outstanding result for us,poor 1st half i must say but what an improvement in the 2nd half.It was not the best flowing rugby i have seen but we dug deep and showed willing in defence and attack,and where the hell did that turn of pace come from from Cussack,i dont know if anyone noticed this but when he ran through he headed towards the ref using him as a kind of block off for there fullback to get too him true rugby brain used there.I know Radders got MOTM but i thought there where a few contenders in the team Manu,G horne where outstanding! calderwood did really well apart from the high ball they scored from.All in all a great solid perfomance IMO COME ON YOU UUUUULLLLLAAAA

Think Radders was superb last night he was my MOTM. I went to the Leeds friendly and thought he was great that night too, he's worked his socks off in both games.
