| Perhaps there should be a video appeal option when games are on tv, as in cricket . That would give a measure of justifiably questioning the ref without a resulting back chat penalty.

| Thinking over last nights game and after watching the highlights, I would have to say that barring a short period at the start of the second half Wigan were pretty shocking. Holes in the defence ( Wrench try), throwing the ball over your head in desperation, short kick offs when the game was long, long gone, heads going down in the last quarter. There was some good attacking play that Lam could build on but the rest was awful. I think the big take out for the team is the level of confidence it should provide, particularly for younger players like Wrench who was given the space to grow into the role at SL level. It's refreshing to see that at last Wire can introduce its academy products when injuries come knocking and their quality is good enough to seamlessly fit into the team and get us the win. Other than that though I think we need to guard against complacency and over-confidence and treat the Wigan game as a one off.

Say what you like about Ray French and Alex Murphy (and many do), they gave everyone a fair crack of the whip, when they did the job.
Now, let me see
Terry O'Connor
Barrie McDermott
Phil Clarke
and presented by Brian "leaning over" Carney
Is anyone else spotting a trend?

Leaning over? Don't get that reference!
Is the trend they all played for Wigan? Wasn't aware BMcD did!
I'm still contemplating bleaching my eyes after seeing Phil Clarke's outfit during the England game. What the hell was that about?! Can't we just have more Jenna Brooks?

SIDE NOTE: Referee tried everything to keep them in the game, I'm getting so fed up of them shouting at offside players, or in one instance last night, telling them to stop crawling on the ground before playing the ball - just penalise it and it'll soon stop!'"
They missed the one that's sought the lofty sanctuary of Jon Wells' head.

My favourite sound bite was Phil Clarke heaping praise on the perfect short drop out executed by Hastings. Yes, it was the perfect kick, Phil, for Mamo to catch and jog the 11 meters to the line, unopposed.

| Thought Wrench was terrific, his timing of the pass back on the inside to Currie was superbly executed.

Which began with some dazzling footwork. I think he’ll be exciting to watch, in the way that Gleeson was.

Let us hope so. At 19 he's plenty of time to develop his skill set, and last night showed there's already a lot of ability to work with.
