agreed with the first post but hock is class was the main threat tonight just silly high love taps.

Shithouse prop, not utter moron. Lauaki made Gaz Hock look calm and composed tonight.

Someone like Morley is what we needed, very physical, goes head hunting quite often but now that he's wiser he always manages to stay in control.

That sort of prop also needs to play well, which Lauaki simply doesn't.

He's not a prop, he's a big second rower.

Prescott was also fantastic tonight, won the collision a lot more. Shame about the drop ball.
Hock was good, although he did give the ball away twice in the first 10 minutes when we had them on the rack.

Wire dropped the ball 4 times in the first half, within their own half and we come away with only 2 points. Everyone knew it would be a close game but why did we opt for the 2 against Wire, when every other game we ran it. Seems we took the easy option too often.

Missed chances are what cost us tonight. Lauaki's brain farts didn't help, but we didn't have that clinical edge as we've previously seen.

We made far too many schoolboy errors. Wire didn't work for their points tonight and that is a sin.

Eric was stupid in those last 5 minutes and imo showed why we shouldn't have signed him. He is yet to impress me, and yes I've said it before tonights game too.

to be fair... hock did have a good game tonight.

You must be confusing sh[ii[/ithouse prop with sh[ii[/it prop.

He's a liability, he always will be. You'd be best served getting shut, Wane won't change him, Agar tried it and Lauaki's game went.

What's all this Eric bollox anyway, can't you lot pronounce his name?

Second best Wigan player behind Faz for me.

He needs to learn to keep his cool. He nearly got himself in trouble against Catalans.

I think more than that lost us the game though, we gifted wire the game.

How how stayed on is beyond me and Im sure anyone on this board,

Wane was actually clever and i think silverwood was happy he was going to be subbed anyway it gave silverwood the cop out he was looking for.

Richie Myler should have been binned at least once and Hodgson should have been binned in the second half as well.

+1.

I hate agreeing with you Adam

you must be having a laugh.

Hock was fantastic for them tonight..

Him, Tomkins and Lima ripped us to shreds.

Hodgson should have been sin binned for a professional foul on Charnley. Don't remember Myler doing much except a run of the mill high shot, but Hodgson definitely should have gone.

Hodgson's professional foul in the second half when he held down Goulding (I think) should have been 10 in the bin. If he's claiming that Liam was tackled in the lead up to Micky Macs try then Myler should have gone for tackling him why he tried to play the ball.

Hardly surprising when you're doing two mens' work. I was really disappointed with Leluai's contribution tonight.

In defense he was good, but his attack was poor. I think a lot of it though was down to some poor distribution from MM which was the only dampner on his display I think.

Lima was clearly wigans best player tonight. Made a huge impact going forward and i cant remeber him making any mistakes. Farrell was also very good. Hock was great at times but some of his offloads are just plain ridiculous. I hope Lauaki gets banned so Wane doesnt have a choice of dropping him.

Lauaki was bloody daft tonight, but it shouldn't have got to that - with some composure we'd have won.

At least it was a penalty that did us. Without that, Briers would have got a drop goal and we'd have been hearing how that pathetic excuse for a human being was the hero.

A house prop :1qihzjiznot

Absolutely 100% agree.

Shithouse prop he may be but talented? Your having a laugh. Get rid ASAP. Worst signing since Dennis Moran

Was surprised Lauaki stayed on after upending the player in the tackle, epecially after he'd been put on report a few Minutes earlier. What was he put in report for anyway, I only saw the wire swinging arm.

Eh? Charnley got up and started to move again (and not to play the ball) so Hodgson put him down again. If anything it was wrong to give a penalty at all.

Looked like a raised forearm in the tackle, but not seen the TV coverage yet...
