Great stint from Justin today, probably is best so far.

Have to say i thought Amor went better going forward, i think Justin put a lot of tackles in so fair enough.

All around great performance, Wood, Collis and Kirmond playing really well. Also thought Tautai has a massive impact on our game he adds some QPTB and didn't look new at all in our performance today wish people would back him up - something we struggle to do with all our forwards majority of the time. All around great performance 1-17 even Lyne had a decent game (not fantastic but decent)

I would have given it to Danny Kirkmond, back to his form from last year. great to see

Yep either of them would have been worthy because both were excellent, along with Kirmond and a number of others tbf. I do think we've got ourselves a very good player in Tautai, the kind of player that could become a bit of a fan favorite.

I agree. Not knocking Poores effort as he had his best game defensively, but Kirmond was a true leader on the pitch today, made some bone crunching and try saving tackles and closed down Liam Farrell very quickly. Back to his best.

Amor 1st half Poore 2nd half for me. Both went really well.

Kirmond showing up very well against another who managed an England squad place ahead of him. I like Farrell as a player, but if Danny played for Wigan, he would be without a shadow of a doubt be in that squad.

Kirmond for me.
Super League fulltime didn't show his 2nd belter try for some reason. Probably didn't want to embarasse McNamara who'll be sticking with the same old faces come selection time.
Wood lost my nomination when he put that ball out on the full at 23-16. Wigan got the position and scored off that set to get it back to 23-22 and we lost that cushion going into the last 10 minutes.

Correct and if that over rated ginger little scroat played played for a bottom half club he would be no where near the England team and quite right too.

His officiating wouldn't be as effective either.

I'd give it to Kirmo, although Poore and Amor both went very well.

I was also impressed with Tautai -if we start backing him up, he'll create a few.

Yep, he was looking for the offload a few times and and had Ino support. Lee Smith is usually pretty clued up on this so with more game time I'm sure he'll take full advantage of this aspect of Tauti's play.

Forgot to mention - I thought Mathers was outstanding yesterday; the way he joined the attacking line was as good as any FB in SL and I think he created two of our 4 tries.

Tough choice!!
I'd go with anyone from Kirmond, Poore, Amor and also though Wildie, Wood, TT and Mathers were stand outs.
I was impressed with the way we bossed their pack and had we had Timmy, Sykes and perhaps Ali available we could have very easily have one, even taking into account the "rub of the ref" they received!!!

Talking of refs dont you think he looks like jasper carrot?

Tough call, too many to choose from!

Everyone that played yesterday deserves another crack next week for me. We looked far better than in previous weeks with our 'stars' in the line up! The injured should be made to work to get their shirts back, it should not be an automatic assumption that they will walk straight back in.

Quote of the day has to be Shaun Wane mentioning that "they (Wakey) did a job and slowed the play-the-ball down" Oh the irony!!!

The rest of the squad certainly need to learn to back Tautai up when he has the ball as a few times yesterday he could have easily got the ball away in the tackle.Kirmond mom for me as much as it was a very close call to who got it.

They were trying to make sure they rolled us onto our backs to slow us down in most tackles! That and trapping arms to get penalties!

don't think they wanted to show kirmonds second try because he left Tomkins flapping at fresh air and they wouldn't want to show Sammy boy in a bad light

forgot to mention mathers linked up well but still terrible defensivley charnley scored 3 trys fullback not in the picture maybe threequarters were missing but in walshaws case it was down to inexperience in mathers case it was down to choice

It wasn't Mathers fault that the Lyne/Cockayne partnership was exposed again. Plus Mathers made a few try saving tackles as well as closing down Tomkins when he kicked the ball between Tomkins and the winger.

You do post some rubbish, Where did Charnley score his tries? why is it the full backs job to cover the wings? surely the winger and centre are first points of contact with Mathers 3rd in at best


Mathers had another "GOOD" game and is one of our most consistent players, I really can't get to grips with all the Mathers Bashing. The guy is recovering from a ruptured testicle FFS and he didn't get that from standing back and watching others doing his job



For the record I thought Kirmo was our MOM but Poore put in a good shift and Mr T looks the real deal

you talk some rubbish mate, charnley scored his trys right in the corner where good fullbacks would have been trying to put him in touch
