worked fine for me on my iMac , some good tries scored, the one set up by escare was a blinder

Wouldn't work on Windows or android. Tried different browsers, still no joy. Used iphone with chromecast to tv and worked fine so managed to see second half.

It would only play on my IPhone and not on the laptop or an android tablet.

Still at least I got to watch it. I thought a late dropped bomb aside, Escare was terrific! His kicking out of hand was outstanding, he passed the ball about and made a couple of cracking breaks. A really exciting performance.

Pretty poor that. You'd expect them to get that right.

First half was more open for us, some great tries. Budgie looked very good!

What I find strange is that it worked fine on the other platforms on Thursday for the Swinton game. Must be the French
ac /dc!!

Chromecast is excellent though for about £30. I believe they now do a 4K version for about £70

Seems Apple users are the lucky chosen few. I couldn't get it on my laptop, phone or tablet (Windows 10 on laptop and android on the other 2). I tried different browsers and still no joy but my brother got it ok on his iPad. To say I am angry at what is normally a good service is putting it mildly.

It is especially galling that this happens when the club are using this match to push WiganTV. They were even pushing WiganTV as the only place to view the match on twitter during the game. It's somewhat ironic that most people checking out the twitter feed would be doing so because they couldn't access WiganTV.

Somebody at WiganTV needs their kicking for this as potentially it could lose a lot of subscriptions to the service.

Angry email has been fired off to Wigan TV

Couldn't get it on my iMac, so what was the score?

Cats 22:26 Wigan

26-22 to Wigan.

Burgess x 2, Tierney, Marshall and Tom Davies with the try's with Escare kicking two tough goals and Shorrocks the one.

I'd go Escare man of the match with stand out performances from Burgess, Leuluai and Nuuausala.

All in all a pleasing run out.

I thought TL looked really confident and solid. Hope he has a blinding season.
Also thought Davies looked the part and will push Tierney for a first team spot.
I'm not really into friendlies but thought our first half display was ok and I was pleased to see them try a few moves out.

Ta much for the replies.

It worked perfectly on my LG internet TV.

I enjoyed the game. We look streets better in attack than we did for most of last season. Tommy really looked in good fettle and so did Budgie.
If we have better luck with injuries this year we shouldn't be far off again!!

Bring on the season!!

Sutton is looking good, I see a big year from him this season.

He had another good game. The props look good in general tbh. I though Nuuausala was excellent today and he looks a touch fitter then last season. It was good to see Ben Flower back on the field and Navarette whilst raw, looks a good prospect. It would be nice to get Clubb and Tautai back on board soon but in the meantime we've got enough to cope.

Unsung hero for us Flower our best prop! Played most of the Grand Final with a broken hand.

Leuluai was brilliant today, that step and pass for Tierneys try was class. Natural Leader and is just calming influence on the team, hope he stays fit.


I also expect Davies and Marshall to challenge for the right wing spot.

Leuluai was immense today, took the line on and gives us loads of variation in attack, I was also impressed with escare's in field kicking

It was a skill I didn't realise Escare had. He was absolutely pinpoint from halfway onwards and constantly found touch or pinned their wingers and fullback deep in their end. He also showed a good range of passing and made two electric breaks. I must admit I wasn't sure about the signing but if that's his level then it could be a sensational piece of business.

On a side note I had to laugh reading a review of us on Saints Red Vee forum last night. It stated that as un-inspiring as we look on paper we'll be there or thereabouts again. Un-inspiring on paper?!

Lads like Burgess, Gelling, Williams, Escare, Tomkins, Leuluai, Farrell, Bateman etc against Tommy Lee, Matty Smith, Dom Peyroux, LMS and co!! Constant references to how boring we were last year yet hardly any mention of that being because most of our attacking talent was sat in the stands!

You've got to love it. That pre season optimism really does take you places.

Not to mention the two average centres, Gelling and Gildart. I do try to educate them on there, but it does require the patience of a saint.

I've not got the patience to post but I do go over for a quick laugh now and again.

The standard of centres currently isn't great across the board. I wouldnt swap our pair for many if any in the league.

I agree but I do think Gildart still has a way to go. Not 100% sure yet he should be a long term centre fot Wigan.

Wigan looked good yesterday though, some really refreshing attacking play.

Very good interview with Ian Lenagan on there now. Interesting bit at the end about bringing the three Wigan venues together!!

I watched the interview myself this evening and Rogues is right in what he says, it was a very interesting half an hour interview.
The point that really got me thinking was the comments about the administration side of the British game, he must have touched on it at least three times.
IL especially made the point about correct sponsorship and lack of it and more importantly the type and length of the present TV deal.
IL when asked if he had any regrets about his time at Wigan replied that one would be when he tried to raise his concerns 3 years ago about how the game was being run (if you remember at the time it was talked about has being a take over of S/L). IL said that he regretted not pursuing the points he had brought up with S/L and at the time he had the backing of the top clubs but as always the majority dragging their feet.
The interview is on Wigan TV and only open I think to Wigan TV subscribers, but I think interviews like this should be open to all forum fans ( not only Wigan fans) so that they can try and put pressure on the Rugby League through their Clubs (if the said Clubs are interested) to try and improve all of S/L.

I enjoy listening to IL and just wish he would give more interviews.
I thought it was interesting how he mentioned his family and hopefully when he decides to retire his son will take over the mantle.

Worth listening to the whole 30 odd mins. Very good interview IMO. Thought him placing Carmont at the top of the tree for imported signings was very good as was his mention of how important Gleeson was to the victories that season.

Not sure how or what he means by bringing the Wigan venues together. Orrell is supposed to be a state of the art training facility and gives us a pitch for academy games so its a place I reckon most clubs will be envious of. What is wrong with that?

I thought that odd, too. Would have to be around the Robin Park complex if at all, we aren't going to get a new stadium anywhere, and I don't really see the point or the feasibility of moving the other two setups near to the DW.
