You showed why you're the best team in the league tonight. Big up to your youth development, you traded in a few seasons of being "also-rans" to develop the squad you have, balance it out with a bit of experience, and you're in the position you're in now. Hopefully Wigan are going to emulate this in a couple of years as we develop our young squad now.

I have but one issue with your win tonight, I am slightly aggrieved as to why Bailey found it necessary to try and punch Tomkins in the face after he had already been high-tackled by another one of your players.

He is a blot on your teamsheet, which is otherwise made up of players who I'd rather played for Wigan. Well, mostly.

Well done, again. Hopefully see you in the Grand Final. But I doubt it.

Thanks for letting Hock score, there. At least we've got one player who'll join most of yours in the GB squad...

I am afraid every side needs a hard man and that is Bailey and at times he goes overboard, but no more than players like Morley or Willie Mason. His problem is that nobody forgets his time in prision. I hope people remember the same if Pryce or should i say when Pryce goes down.

I thought Bailey played well apart from that moment of stupidness. he needs to cut that out.

I'm glad that our main thug Peacock kept his cool tonight. He's come close to been 'red carded' a couple of times this year.
Bailey is just a soft bugger who does a good job winding up the opposition. I seem to recall Fielden played like Bailey does, but Fielden still hasn't got over been slapped by Mason

I'd forgotten.



Hope Pryce does go down, Rugby League would be better off. Not to mention safer.

If there's any justice at all in the world, then Pryce WILL go down, and it will be a poignant moment to a good friend of mine.

Just like your lot will go down next Friday at Knowsley Road.

Come on Leon.

I know where you are coming from Chris

same could be said for Hock on Sinfield.

Your sentiments for Bailey I share times ten for Hock. What a cowardly, niggly joke of a player. Cheap shots and verbals all night at Sinfield and JJB but when the game was in the balance all he did was make errors.

He was weighed,measured and once again found wanting G!!
Like i said on the pies board he doesn't have the consistency nor the temprement to be world class or the best in this country in his position.

according to Eddie he's the best offloader in the league, i think the touch judge agrees, Hock' offload to him in the second half was fantastic

I like Hock, he always looks dangerous with the ball but I agree without it he's niggly.

He would be a big success at Leeds as we'd harness his shortcomings.

That has to be stevo all over eddies bonce when the pies beat a pub team from bradford

He's garbage and a liability. When the game was in the balance what did he do.

Comprehensivley outplayed by Man of the Match Carl Ablett tonight.

Wouldn't swap Ablett, Kirke, JJB or Ali for him.

That's because he does'nt have the players around him. He is a very good RL player.

Bailey [iagain[/i had a stormer

I disagree. He's at a club who are struggling. Liabilities should have their shortcomings addressed by the coach but thats not happening.

not sure Noble can do anything about his brain farts, throwing a ball into touch and then that ridiculous attempted offline ingoal to coley, you cant coach someone out of that.

Bailey was gash you moron.

Meh, as an experienced international he should've been leading the Wigan pack tonight. His game was totally off as he was more focused at finger pointing and cheap shotting JJB and Sinfield. Not once after his finger pointing and strutting did he take a drive in though.

I'm certain Noble won't have coached him to play the way he did tonight.

Which of our 2nd rowers would you shift to accommodate him? JJB or Ali? The young, hungry, disciplined and ever improving Kirke or Ablett?

He hid in the centres quite a lot. Played like a slightly more aggressive Andy Hay with no hands tonight.

He played well against a garbage Bulls last week and played Garbage against a quality Leeds tonight, Maybe the truth is somewhere in between. He's pretty average but terribly ill disciplined.

Care to explain to me why he was?


No, you cant


go away

whilst i sometimes doubt Bailey in terms of his attitude, both Smith and McLennan have seen that he brings something to the team, he's also got 3 GF winners medals, i am happy with the judgement of the coach in honesty :\

Why?

No penalties, no knock ons, no forward passes, did his job.
