The Lineham injury was due to a head clash I'm sure I saw the blood bin card held up, a good tackle just within the limit only for the head clash he would probably have got up and played the ball.

Should anyone wish to complain about the biased nature of the commentary please mail sky at viewerR@sky.uk They love getting mails Re-Phil Clarke.

What was the injury situation from last night? I had to put up with watching with no commentary in a bar in Lanzarote & without any rain & snow. Still, i enjoyed the game & i´m sure my sacrifice has been worth it.

Wigan had a lot of them, injuries that is

No wonder Wane looked suicidal. I´m sure Tony Smith offered him a hankey at the final whistle.

for us, atkins has fractured a finger, did it quite early on in the game then was taken off with about 10 left, i think, lineham was taken to hospital with his head injury so he'll be a doubt and evans had multiple knocks last night, couple of face and head and he thought his shoulder had popped again.

Incidentally, anyone notice we had about a 3 players with blood coming out of face injuries within the first twenty minutes or so yesterday, gids evans and russell, possibly lineham as well.

I didn't see Brian Bevan play other than in a testimonial, but understand he looked like he was held together by sticking plaster and looked much older than his years. Rhys Evans has obviously decided to "rock that look". But fair play a magnificently brave and effective performance.

Cox put on Twitter that 2 of his front teeth got a bit of a knock too.

Not sure how but the switching of Penny and Russell worked. Penny, and even his critics will agree, oozes energy and never stops talking. That's what I'd want from a fullback, directing the defence but also energising them.

Amazing really, in days gone by when the ball went near him you'd almost wince and expect a fumble, but he was excellent in difficult conditions last night. He has locked himself in the team, contributing in attack, but more in defence... Who'd have thought it!

Watched the match back when I got in and I'm sure I remember him being there before the game at least. Wasn't he waffling on about Salford having a 50/50 chance of making the super eights before their points deduction but now, if they win this weekend, they'll have a 50/50 chance of making the super eights!

Russell isn't brilliant under the high ball at the moment. As with lots of things its confidence. The interchange of positions between him and Russell is a real top class move. Kev is playing really well at the moment in both attack and defence. Long may it continue.

He was in the studio. He didn't think much of Wigan's attack.

Just nipped to the paper shop in my 1989/90 Wire jersey for a can of Sprite and a copy of Naughty Housewives, only to be abused by Lord Lucan, who told me we'd only won because of Wigan's dreadful injury problems.

I'd got to the door, only to be met by Aung San Suu Kyi, who just shook her head and mouthed "lucky fxxxers".

The only thing that I was disappointed by was the size of the crowd - less than 12000 for a night match vs Wiggin strikes me as pretty poor (maybe some of the Wiggin fans were iinjured?)

Unfortunately Thusdays seem to make a big difference. Postponed for one day I recekon would have added 2000 to the gate.

To be fair He's a great addition to the squad, but as prop forwards go he doesn't come across as the brightest of blokes.

So when he got a smack in the teeth a few weeks back and promptly stated "its a good job they are made of concrete" you'd think he'd start wearing a mouth guard....(as every pro should, to be honest)

I'm guessing if he continues to take the ball up in his rumbustious (great word) style, and without a mouth guard its going to be a case of third time not so lucky......

To be fair he seems to have more than the usual quota of teeth.

Must be a member of Barrie and Tez's 'brain's trust'

I'd get there at half time on a Thursday. Do they even let people in at half time?

Considering the weather, Thursday night, and it being on Sky I think we did well. Some might have gone away early for Bank holiday weekend too.

Only Wigan vs Widnes, and Leeds vs Warrington have been higher on a Thursday this year.

Big matches shouldn't be played on a Thursday, the clubs must miss out on thousands of pounds.

There were very few kids there. with it being a schoolday.

Ask the disciplinary panel, they agreed with me. Have a lovely day

Had the thug not bellowed into the players ear who was lying semi-conscious on the floor he may have got away with it.

Don't remember to much bellowing when he Poleaxed himself trying to flatten Kurt Gidley. He did want his mummy tho'
