Yes, I think you're right TRB with reference to size up front and in the pack generally. We've got a certain amount of speed and mobility in there ,but we are missing what the likes of Stosic and Bibey give us ie they take 2 or 3 to pull them down, draw the oppostion in to do this and wear them down.

When we got in front early in the 2nd half I thought we would hang in there and steal a win.
It wasn't the throwing it out wide that got Wigan back into the game. The gamebreaker was when Broughy put that ace bomb up but Blanch allowed Ainscough to take it and then make 50yds up field. We struggled to track back and Wigan retook the lead in that same set. Wigan then got a few fortunate 50:50s (build up to Smith's try) and we never got back into it.

Spot on. Also Atkins throwing the ball out to no one when Blaymire had made a great run on the other side of him.

with only two points in it as well despite having been below par. we could easily have nicked it on sunday and ground out a win undeservedly and then we wouldn't have a board full of misery
