GAME ON : Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves - 20:00:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Wigan will give Warrington a Mullering

Not a mullering?

Cricket score me thinks. Long as Currie gets through without any issues, I'd be happy with that.

We've not mullered anyone this season. Pressure is off Wire tonight, can see them giving us a real game. Even though Wigan haven't lost the last three games we haven't been sparkling.

Defence has improved, attack hasn't really clicked yet.

Good, dry night. Ideal for RL, a good indicator for our intentions tonight.

Warrington need to win to keep up hopes of avoiding the Middle 8's. Granted a win could all be for nothing if Hudds win tomorrow but Warrington don't know that result yet so surely will be going out to survive. Whether the pressure brings out a performance from them or sees them fold we'll see.

Warrington are shocking though and you are starting to get your players back and find some rhythm

No mullering as of yet Sir Ke-, oops sorry King James

That's true but Wigan look as if their players hardly know each other. Apart from the odd moment, think the quality from both sides is decidedly poor.

Surely Wigans first try was obstruction? Clear as day for me, especially compared to some of the pedantic ones that have been disallowed

Grubby stuff from Burgess with that hair pull on Sims - he used to be a lovely lad.

Lots of penalties but tbf to the ref the discipline has been awful so fully justified, in fact he probably should've given more because Wigan especially are taking the mick quite a bit in the ruck. It looks like they're feeling the effects of that hot game in France and are just desperate to slow Warrington down to the point it's getting silly.

I like the way the wires are keeping a massive 10 and rolling away from the tackle in an instant

Thank god for the vid ref - were it not for him I'd have thought Ratchford touched that before it went dead.

Tap 20?????

Video ref is round the twist.

Wow, how low is the attendance for a Wigan Warrington game? Where is this sport going??

Tackled without the ball?

Penalty for acting like a kn0b?

Have you watched Wigan this season? Not surprised at this.

This, and stupid Thursday nights again. Hopefully the changing of the sky channels will remove them from existence.

I'm not going to agree to Thursday being a legitimate reason for not attending. Other sports would get a full house on a Thursday so why can't we?

A kids season ticket at Wigan is £40. How many parents aren't going to take their kids to the match because of it being a schoolnight, especially with matches not finishing until after 10 sometimes because of long video ref decisions?

The only other sport I can think of with regular Thursday night fixtures in the UK is Europa League Football matches and those rarely sell out.

wigan take cheating to a new level. If they actually concentrated on playing rugby instead of constantly cheating they'd be a decent side

Really? Please name those other sports that have huge Thursday attendances. Not that many even play on them.

I admit I don't get to the DW that often, but it's definitely far more adults than kids. Besides, it should only really affect primary school age kids anyway. Maybe we shouldn't base the financial side of the sport on getting kids in - especially given their season tickets are £40? There's a huge amount of young adults (who don't worry about schoolnights) who have expendable income to burn. Blaming kids for poor attendance is just burying your head in the sand. "If you build it, they will come". Target the right people with the right product and you'll sell, no matter what the product is. Wigan - and to a lesser extent the sport in general - aren't offering the right product at the moment.
