Hiya guys



Should be near perfect conditions tonight so hopefully we will have a great game to watch.

Interesting to see that a lot of you have Bateman in at centre in your own teams.... Is this something Wigan have done already? Would assume he's strong there in defence which, I guess is why you'd maybe have him there against us. Just wondered if he's working on his game as a centre or it'd just be a one off for this game?

I was as surprised as anyone to see him at centre in the world cup. The as much as he's a very good strong second row he didn't really have the passing game to play at centre....

Powell just getting a wrist slap must have given wane a selection headache as I felt you were the better team against Leeds but his decision making cost you a few points

True but he seems bigger than when he first came into the team.
Would the skinny flyer Burgess have been able to put Webster into next week ?

His breaks were pure class and as I said on another thread, reminded me of Gary Connolly! I’m sure there’s a great centre in him somewhere!!

Maybe, but we haven't seen it so far. Great win, though.

Sam was MOM for me. Lost pace but a better overall player nowadays. Great reading of the game, Hampo esq under the high ball and added some much in attack. Sad to potentially lose him.

Burgess; starting to show why he's so good, has he lost pace? Hard to tell. Depending on fatigue. You try to spirit your heart out when you're already gassed, it just doesn't happen. RL is so hard, having to sprit with nothing in the tank is practically impossible. But on a positive that hand off was something Greg Inglis would have been proud of!

Left edge is starting to click, right is a big issue. I'd highlight the 7 and right centre as areas to improve. (This is no knock on Bateman, he's no centre being asked to play centre).

This needs addressing.

He has been doing it for years, since his academy days at least. Probably just a quirk of his body.
