Very average first half performance, a replay of the previous match against Castleford. Very little go forward, too much lateral movement  from the forwards.

However Cartwright must have torn into the team at halftime, after the break, the forwards ran  hard and direct.

For mine, the continual playing of centres in the second row, is beginning to take its toll,  hardly surprising with the likes of 3 out of the 4, 2nd rowers, chosen at the start of the season,managing 3.5 games between them all season. ( Cartwright 3.5, Staveley 0, Holmes 0)

I thought Fash at 13  brought more cohesion in attack.Eseh again outstanding, Hardaker  'Mr Perpetual Motion ',  Ese Ese, Knight were less effective, . Bourouh & Aydin work hard without the ball, but with the ball, aren't very effective. Sezer & Cust played brilliantly.


I thought our wingers  were good, however I thought Rapana had another below average game, his defence is poor, his pace is declining, and he's committing too many basic errors, for an experienced international marquee player,  in my opinion, questions should be asked, if he should be released in the close season, the same applies to Jed Cartwright, IF he can return, before the end of this season.

we need to find a quality hooker to progress to the next level

What’s the new Eseh chant? 

I'd love us to tie eseh up on a 4 or 5 year deal but can see why he would want a crack at breaking into the wigan team

I think Borough has been very good but is suffering from too many minutes which is affecting his running game. I'd like to see him and Cust playing in 20 minute spells.

Has he?  Which games has he stood out in?  Defensively sound but I've seen next to nothing from him attack wise.  His ball out of dummy half is slow and often inaccurate slowing down our attack.

Just my opinion and others will differ but he looks a bit like Danny Houghton Mk2 to me
