Quote ="DHM"We seemed to have him defending further in than normal. Possibly to use his speed and agility to close down Farrell and the Wigan left side. Bar the mis numbering in the 5th minute the Wigan left was kept under control. Watkins numbers were very reminiscent of big Keith. He also carted the ball up into traffic again and again. Our forwards only lasted because Watkins, Hall and Briscoe are so strong they carry like forwards.
Hard to put down. Briscoe got some great offloads away to give some big return gains.
Watkins still had gas all the way to the end of the match. Phenomenal effort from him.'"
Incidentally, I watched the Wigan try on skysports website this mmornin. Stevo has become such a joke, he goes on and on about sinfield making a bad read/missing a tackle but fails to notice Wigan completely caught us out on numbers - I think they had 5 on 3 so of course Sinny had nothing to lose byvtrying to fly up out of the line
I think what irritates me most is the sky clowns always emphasis the negative rather than good attacking play by SO'L. Other sports commentators don't do that (soccer, union)
