Kept him pretty quiet - had one good break late on, chasing a chip in midfield, but Veivers got to him.

Warrington were in front for 70 minutes plus and are apparently lucky to win?

The wind (which was in Warrington's favour in the first half) was worth about 18 points. The two sides were fairly evenly matched, and a draw might have been a fair result - hence why Wire went for what would have been a game-tying drop goal with a minute or so left. From that drop goal attempt, the ball bounced back off the left upright to a Wire player who scored under the sticks. Planned move?

Must have been

the ball rebounded of the post and hit feka on the legs to play warringon on side

surprised it got past his belly!

I'm sorry, could you repeat that please?

The Warrington player was in front of the kicker so has to give any Wigan player 10 metres. So it shouldn't have been play on.


Irrespective of the poor decision (and there were a few) it was a great game to watch.

Any word on Marsh and Thornley possibly leaving?

Completely agree. Its the first time I've been to an U20's game for a while and it is definitely worth a trip up there.

One penalty against Wigan raised a few questions for me. A Wire forward was held up by two players and a third came in to tackle round the shins. The ref awarded a penalty. I was sat next to a Wire fan who was connected to their team (I think his son was in the squad). He said that his son had been told that there had been guidance issued about 'putting undue pressure on knees' or something like that now being a penalty offence. Anybody heard anything about this? A tactic we have used all season being made illegal?

Liam FArrell was noticably doing this a lot last night.

question : can a conversion be taken from the wrong side of the touchline?

Seeing as Karl Pryce actually put the ball down on the corner flag maybe it was apt that the ref made him move the ball 2 inches so that it was actually on the touch line

It certainly looked as though he was in touch, although the touch judge was right there and didn't disallow the try. The officiating was really poor today.

Anyone stand out in the Wire team today?

i thought rhys evans looked dangerous. and your number 6 played well

He always does

If your team numbers are right 6 is Sam Caslick he's from Brisbane

they were taken from the teamsheet handed out so im presuming he's they guy!

must say you have a big pack and i thought brooke broughton made some big yards for you when he came off the bench

Hes a big lad can move as well

Of that team I really rate Rhys and Ben Evans, Gaz O'Brien and Broughton for the future on the games I have seen, I also like Craig Harvey he's on loan at Swinton.

you have some really good young lads coming through!! o'brien set up a cracking try in the first half. i think warrington are top of the under 20's league????

Conroy just asked me on Facebook when was the last time our First Team, Senior and Junior Academy grades all lost on the same weekend an I make it late May 2004.

Great game from both sets of lads,,, shame about the loud mouth old trout in the stands though, she's the kind of spectator who gives your fans a bad name... entertaining for the wolves fans though, to sit in the stands and see how worked up the home supporters were, well worth the £10.00...

We all have them.
Did she not ask you how many weetabix you had for breakfast?

She's ok really just gets wrapped up in a game of rugby.

I'm sure she will appreciate being called an old trout bet you wouldn't say it to her face though. There was some Warrington fans sat near to us that we just as bad. As Rogues said she's just passionate about Wigan Rugby and after that dire ref performance possibly justified. It's a pity that game was spoilt by him.

I did but she was shouting that loud she obviously didn't hear me!

Agree the ref didn't have his best game, but would she have moaned as much if the decisions went the other way!
