Defensive positioning can be coached but the ability to score that 2nd try can't!

Awesome stuff from a terrific young player.

Cherry I could not agree more,going forward ball in hand Deacon can confuse the opposistion when they dont know if he is going to pass or kick.
Today though Wigan were found out a couple of times ,once when the Wire went wide for the first try he was so slow getting across. Then when Monaghan (hooker ) broke through he gave up the chase very quickly. Please watch the reply.
I have been on about this all season,one slow halfback you may get away with but two you are pushing your luck.

Watched it again and I think it is. 50 50 if Charnley was at fault for the first try as Joel had been beaten and I think Josh had no option but to try and tackle the man with the ball but I don 't think you could be 100% certain. The second try he was definitely out of position. He was about 10m off his wing and left a huge gap.

Hopefully the coaches will sort him out as he looks really strong in the other aspects of the game.

THIS .... said more or less this on the way home after the game, plus his try was really good

Josh is going to become a key figure for us for years to come, longer term I still want to see him given a go in the centres, possibly with Roberts outside him next season?

Joel for me will never be a centre, but is doing everything we could ask of him currently.

For those wanting Josh dropped, what do they propose we do, play Goulding, who would have made the same defensive mistakes without the length of the field try to make up for it?!

Joel may not be a centre, but having watched the game again his problems certainly aren't with his defence. He was up against a dangerous centre-wing partnership and he was excellent. It's his attack which is letting him down, because he just doesn't attack like a centre should. Perhaps that's more to do with the way Wigan attack though, because Gleeson was never a consistent attacking threat either, although showed moments of good attacking play (as has Tomkins).

Wat a try from josh though. The fend off and the side step. tssss...Against warrington. Beauty to watch. "rewinds bbciplayer!"

Just seen the Charnley try on the IPlayer and wow just simply wow.

Fantastic. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

That try was absolutely sensational. Worth the entrance admission alone.

Watched on BBC red button after the game and the replay shows the front on view looking down the length of the pitch shows that side step to perfection. If that is on iPlayer everybody needs to watch it.

Nope, Dont think the front view is on



Still class though

as Madge said "For a kid like that to bounce back and come up with a try like that, it is an outstanding effort."

Very proud today. Most pleasing thing though is "How dull and like watching paint dry our rugby is!" I respect Warrington but to have that attack and that defence against the team that scores tries for fun and a defence close to our own.....outstanding!

Could someone please stick this try on Youtube and put the title on here? I'm in France and can't get Iplayer.
My stream froze just before his try and not seen it yet.

Josh and Joel as players are superb but I'm not happy with them as a partnership. We get caught down that wing far too often.

remind anyone of Robinson's try vs saints at last game of central park? near enough an exact replica for me!

Just watched the highlights back for the 1st time since the game and . WOW!! That try was immense

. The footwork to beat hodgson was brilliant

Hope that try gives him massive confidence for the rest of the season

The try coupled with Josh's celebration made you proud to be a Wigan fan yesterday.. You could see how chuffed he was to score for Wigan and what it meant to him.

Both of them are extremely inexperienced as SL level and its showing - Particulary when we have SL best centre wing partnership on the other side.

IMO Madge should direct them both to man mark - lets start with the basics and then they can learn the positional play better from there. It all starts going wrong with the sliding defence IMO and the blame is 50/50- its just that Charnley is often made to look like its his fault when half the time its joels.

Basically one slides over too far and the other ends up overcompensating ending up in a right mess. Joel also often starts too far in field leaving a big gap between the centre and wing and josh has to come in. The issue with Joel being he is playing as a centre but still in some aspects playing like a second row, taking the natural narrow centre position.

1:1 work with Carmont should be a priority who IMO is one of the greatest positional centres I have seen.

Pair charnley with Paaaat as well for an hour or two each week in training and you'll soon see the benefits. Joel and Josh still has massive potential to be one of the best centre wing partnerships in the league but we just need to work on the positional play.

so so good

i imagine sam's was just as good but him going away from us didn't help!

Its a shame his absolutely clueless defensively or he would have been a useful player for England this 4 nations, given his pace and deceptive strength.

Can't believe you're still here

Do one Ron Ron,yeh do one Ron.

Sorry couldnt resist

possibly

but well we can only hope the aussie head coach is bat$h!t crazy and decides for some unknown reason to give joel monaghan another cap...

Well it's god help us then with Atkins and Bridge defending isn't it.
