Take your point but I'm referring to the fact that Mike Mc was pickled ahead of Sam for the Cas and Hull games when both players were available.

Didn't have a fitness problem, he was suspended.

I knew what I meant given I'd already referred to his ban previously



I blame the coedine

Dont get upset with me just because you have a clueless camel immitating coach, who ould rather pick the over paid windy git Smith or obese Ridell, instead of the quality that lies in your youth.


Nevermind,do what wigan do best, let them get there first team experience with you and next season someone else will take them off your hands and prime them!!

I think Fielden had a good game, he was excellant in defense and carried the ball up well. The fact that quins scored all their points when he was off the pitch is no coincidence. One point he had the ball swotting off quins props and looking for an offload & Riddell was just there looking at him.

Get

Didn't he look pi55ed off when no-one wanted it

Yeah probably because he had 4 16st men trying to drag him down. (no puns), we should have had at least one back up player in support.

Cue the 'If Tommy was at hooker he would of been there' brigade



Eventhough i have to agree with them

Just showed the lack of second phase rugby we play

Not just Tommy, our FB a centre anyone for that matter.

TBH over the past couple of years our 2nd phase rugby has been crap.

Phuzzy's gonna have a field day when he comes on to read some of your posts

Just watch it again. I thought the same when I was the game.

However, when I watched it after arriving home, it would have been almost impossible for him to get the ball out without giving up possession.
There were so many Quins players around the tackle and the ball, the pass wasn't really on.

Fielden was good last night apart from one dropped ball and a penalty conceded (that never was). He ran the ball ain all night and defended well.

One of the reasons he made more ground was Riddells passing. Once he gets settled into the team I' sure he will be big asset. Keep the faith.

Agreed, Piggy passing got the forwards on the front foot. Im sure he'll come good for us.

piggy not impressed me yet but lets have our fingers crossed that soon as we get a bit of warm weather (a weeks worth) that the ozy s pick up an settle in other than that play our kids i say

I just watched the game again as a result of this and, in fairness to Piggy, he was up with the ball carrier a lot quicker than I first thought.

In what way? I totally agree.

The negativity about the win like you had a go at numerous amounts of people yesterday

What a weekend!

Saints lose, Wire are hammered and we win!

Lets now hope we can push on and build on this, imagine the confidence our players will get with a win next week!

Please to see Ainscough back in the team, lets hope Noble continues awarding good play!

Sorry Mathers, your days at Wigan are doomed!

Gonna refer you to your assessment of O'Loughlin BK. Fielden was 'unlucky' with the penalties against (he wasn't) and O'Loughlin was 'lucky' to get a result from his perfectly executed kick (he wasn't). Therein lies a perfect illustration of your inconsistancies when it comes to certain players.



As to the thread. Fielden had a solid game last night and took a lot of punishment for the team.

Saying our 2nd phase has been poor for the last couple of seasons isn't negativity about the win. Saying 'we were rubbish' and so on is. I really think you need to properly read the posts I was criticising and the points I was making before posting further.

The post was referring to the 2nd phase being poor yesterday and added it was poor in the last couple of seasons maybe I should have chosen to quote a different post if that would of helped

The 2nd phase was poor on occassion yesterday, although good at other times, notably the Carmont try. It has also been poor for the last couple of seasons. The quote you used was fine. You're just completely missing the point of what I was saying yesterday and now feel some intrinsic need to justify the fact you didn't read my posts properly (by your own admission!) in the first place. Strange don't you think that one of the people who's posts I criticised (Babyface Finlayson) saw the point of what I was saying and ultimately posted 'I can't help being over critical' and then went on to say he was indeed enjoying the win. How come you have a problem with it? Let it go, you're beginning to look a fool.

The only problem I had was the way you made a few people's opinions sound like the vast majority are 'whinging wiganers'

Maybe I have taken it too far and I apologize if you see it that way
