I thought that

I thought he took the ball out of dummy half miles more but didn't actually take the line on. He'd run it out, weigh up his options and in the main picked out a good option.

I thought it worked really well with him starting and McIlorum coming from the bench.

i done my application no harm when Carmont threw a poor pass to richards preventing a nailed on try, i screamed "COME ON WIGAN THATS VERY AVERAGE"!!!! instead of the industrial tirade id usually shout in the east

watch this space rogues

I am a supporter of riddell, i am not one of bandwaggon jumping bring back Higham mob.

but i really thought he was poor tonight. most things seem laboured and sluggish. a lot of his passes were forward (i do not know how the linesman never spotted them). solid in defence but lacking enthusiasm for me. i dont think he wants to be here and that could be showing in his performance. he is a skillfull player but does not seem to be bothered ATM. Micky outperformed him tonight for maybe the 3rd or 4th game in a row.

he needs to be dropped until he proves he has the desire. stick TL in at 9 along with MM. Sam at 6 and give Phelps a shot a 7 that would allow us to bring back Ainscough.

I would have gave it to pat or hock both had great games.

may be not MOM last night but thought hansen had a good game out of position. tempted to drop fielden next week to get some fire in his bellly
