Drop Riddell for McIlorum. Drop Coley for Prescott and that squad is good.

Sams defence was excellent. He finds a way to bring the man down by hook or by crook.

His reading of the play in defence really gives him a head start in terms of positioning.

He's got a rugby brain, no wonder Noble has taken so long to play him!

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Agreed with the others but i thought Bailey had his best game in a Wigan shirt for quite some time tonight.

It was no coincidence that our right side defence was alot better tonight then last week(although still not perfect).

Why did his defence surprise anyone? It's always been excellent - just like Luke Robinson, Lammy or Burrow he uses technique to offset size and it's way more effective than sticking the shoulder in.
Good post ,and good coaching and common senses from Sam Tomkins .

Riddell played well. Replay the game and watch it. I've got back and watched it again.
