Oh and Newman is the best player on the pitch IMO

So they're pulling Big Mik for that tackle but not Batemans knees?

The. ptb has beem even worse than normal. It's a complete joke.

He has no fear and iust gets your excited

Did zane carry the ball when he was on, he’s supposed to be marquee. Put him at prop and give him a very simple role.

About twice.

He took a few up. Smith will play the rest of the game at loose I expect while we have our probable 4 props for 2022 on rotation.

Most likely at the moment seems to be a Newman or T Briscoe line break for a try.

We’ve had a lot of work out of yardage by the wingers, trying to conserve energy for the middles, and the Hurrelcane still to come on…

Wigan are good in D there’s no doubt.

I really don’t know why we don’t start like that and persist with Thompson.

Christ sake can we not get to a last tackle

Messy errors. So poor

Two committed but poor teams this

Did someone lube the ball?

2 pretty poor sides really continuing much in the same vain of their form throughout the year. if we’re to go through it’s on a Dwyer or Hurrell lone effort.

Finally

Should bring Hurrell on if he isn't already.

...or on a ball batted back

One try in 50 minutes. Camera missed it, commentator sounded disappointed.

What a game! What a TV production!

Getting through yes is all that matters in knock out rugby but carrying form like this into better sides doesn’t bode well. Come on let’s have a more cohesive last 25

leeming is so hit and miss

Leeming has been shocking with ball in hand

Should go for drop goal given the score/time

Lui and Newman have been superb

To be fair, they can't be showing the game when there's coaches in the stand to point a camera at.

Always good to win at Wigan and of course to get through but Christ it’s been a low quality difficult watch. Also looks likely we will miss Mik.

Is Clarke crying or getting salty?

Fantastic to see Hardaker getting smashed most times he took the ball in.
