Yes Turner shouldnt have shot out the line and yes we got screwed over by a quarterback thrown touchdown but fook me Sharp getting outpaced by Turtle Hodgson WTF. Your either a well bulked up player on the wing who bulldozers over or your a skinny guy who has pace, Sharp has neither!

Yes I know he has improved and gives 100% etc but Im sorry if your a winger and your getting beat in a footrace by a guy as slow as that then its bloody embarrasing!

Sharp has ridiculously deceiving upper body strength and he is fast, he had to turn round to chase and it was the 79th minute of an intense derby, He also did a lot more work down the middle in attack.

Thought he was supposed to be the fastest player at the club? He'd have never run around briscoe

Your saying that Hodgson didnt do nothing in the game then? Sharp challenged hodgson to a foot race instead of hitting him full on when he had the chance he decided to give him the outside and hodgson just went straight past him. I agree sharp works hard but to me wingers have to have pace and he doesnt have any and he proved it yet again.

Briscoe would have flattened him but your comparing a ferrari to a robin reliant there Jake

This, plus he wasn't far from an ankle tap (from the angle I was at) that could have resulted in no try and us winning. Yes its disappointing, but I think it was more Blacklock's fault than Sharp's

Sharp is very physical throughout games, he gets very tired because of this as he obviously lacks size, despite his strength there's no substitute for a bit of mass

Sharp shouldnt have had to put in a pathetic ankle tap he should have been able to put him into touch if he had a yard of pace.

You seem to think Hodgson is slow. He isn't.

thought sharp had a good game going foward, looked evasive and carried well. hodgson is obviously not as slow as you lot think, very good finisher.

Sharp was done one on one by footwork initially which put him half a pace behind and slightly off balance as he started his chase. I was disappointed he didn't have enough pace to catch Hodgson but not massively surprised. He doesn't possess out and out pace. Played well bringing the ball away during the previous 79 mins.

I actually thought it was probably his best game for us with ball in hand

Yes sharp had a good game apart from that and Hodgson isnt bloody fast please dont give me that all im saying is that Sharp should never have been beaten for pace. I just like my wingers to have pace or strong to me sharp is neither. Saying all that what the heck was Turner doing!

That is the issue, what was Turner doing ?? He was fortunate not to have been caught out like that earlier as he came flying out of the line a few times, missed his man and the cover had to make his missed tackle. I'm not blaming the lad for the loss, there's no way we should have surrendered a lead like we had, but I'd like to know what would have happened should we have kept shape when defending the last scrum, tackle made, game won.

For the record I thought Sharp got through a ton of work and was a handful throughout. I don't think there'd have been many in the game who could have made that tackle from the position Sharp was in, with Hodgeson hitting that ball at full(ish) tilt.

Really? I would have backed anyone with a yard of pace to take out Hodgson. Also was wondering where the fullback was also? as seymour slowed it down enough for the fullback to be coming across im guessing like me id expect the winger to take hodgson out.

Dave Hodgson is quicker than some are making out, he showed great pace last week from the halfway line, and showed it again yesterday, tbh I didn't think he'd out pace Sharp though.

I've been thinking this, there seem to be a lot intimating that Hodgson is slow just because he is now 30. IMO he used to be one of the quickest around, and whilst I don't think he's up to his Salford days pace off the mark any more he still has plenty once he gets space to run into, which we gave him. I do agree that Briscoe would probably have stood a better chance than Sharp, though, but then I see that more as praise of Briscoe than criticism of Sharp.

As a Wigan fan watching Russell he was totally out of position for the Hodgson try and wasnt even really at full back. If he had been in position then Hodgson would never have scored. It is worrying that he still makes the same basic mistakes defensively and positionally and taht is precisely why the Wigan coaches wont put him at full back for us yet.

As a neutral I thought Sharp lived up to his name in attack. Always looked dangerous going forward.

Sharp isn't slow. He has pace, was beaten by footwork. Should have gone for ankle tap.

I think Sharp's problem was that he was in two minds about tracking back when Seymour made his tackle attempt, this meant Hodgson had a slight head-start.

Overall Sharp has improved a lot this season, but I still think the club need to look to see if there are better options out there for next season.

From what I keep hearing now, he may not be at the club next season.

As I say, he has improved a lot and I respect him for improving his game so quickly...but he still woulden't be on the wing for a top4 team.

I think the club needs to look at every player in the squad and really question their role, for years we have blamed Agar for the poor performances, and for a large part he was responsible. But there are still some players who are either not good enough, or are past their best at the club that need moving on.

Ah , Keeping with the current theme .

Limitations firmly exposed -Sharp, Turner & Seymour.

Hodgson had absolutle NO right to score from the position, ended up scoring really easily.

Thought Manu outstanding,is his exit confirmed yet ?

Thought Russell was one of our bigger threats too which is a worry.

PG will have learnt a ton from this about his players, refereeing etc - won't hurt us in the long run.

In AP & PG we trust...................
