was gonna say, SoL isn't a big talker on the field but he's well respected. MM to me seems to be too hot-headed to look fto as an influence.



In 2nd half when we scored Matty Smith was the vocal one behind the posts. MM stood out the back of the huddle nearest the fans and got a lot of stick

I would argue that this is what Bowen, with all of his experience, should be providing. At full back he should be organising the defence in front of him. He gives the impression of someone who concentrates only on his own performance (which is average at best). And it's not good enough to suggest that he's settling in, because Sam has never shut up over at NZW.

Absolutely.

And Collis`s ban for what looked like a pretty tame challenge on Gale.

All points to a lack of consistancy once again.

Josh Charnley looked a bit cream crackered for you yesterday. Is he carrying an injury of some sort as I thought that he'd have been more involved than he was ?

He'd have been a lot more involved if the guy playing centre had passed the ball occasionally.

I'd recommend watching the game back when it comes out on Wigan TV. Bowen is often shouting and pointing players into place, particularly close to our try line

Watching it once was enough mate.



I'll take your word on that. Maybe I've been harsh on him.

Grade C charge for McIlorum with the option of an EGP.

Great!! That's all we need with Warrington coming up! I'd bet my life he gets 2 games.

Who we are playing in the next few weeks is irrelevant. He broke Dixon's jaw so it is clear where he hit him and that it was hardly a light tap he gave him, he should get as lengthy a ban as can be given. I doubt Dixon will be back playing in two weeks time.

I'm quite happy with Logan doing 80 minutes.

The game at Wire last year he did 80 and was excellent. The game v Hull FC at our place he did 80, again was very good and I think made 48 tackles or so.

He isn't as aggresive as Micky but doesn't give pens away for foul play.

Interesting to see how he goes as MM might miss a couple or three games.

I have to say, I'm highly impressed with your guys reaction to MM's shot on Dixon - I expect fans to naturally defend their own or brush it under the carpet.



You guys seem universally aware that it was a dirty cheap shot that there is no place for in our game.



Lotta respect for that attitude.
