Wigan owe their win to a superb defence, faultless, the Giants forwards did a great job, l would guess 60% possesion and 70% territory, but the backs were woeful, Grix was his usual steady self another solid game, and had the easiest job on the night, Brown was given a lesson by lockers in how to control a game, pity he always has to have some afters, the rest of the backs were average, with Cudjoe and Simpson being my worst 2 players on the field.

l have never questiones Nathan Browns tactics, but why did he leave out McGilvery our in form stricker, and Lawrence, in my opinion Cudjoe needs some time in the reserves and Simpson unless he bucks his ideas up, a plane ticket back to Sydney.

lts early days and some strange scores all round, but we need 3 out of the next 4 to keep on track for top 4 spot.

All players in the England Knights training squad would be dropped, NB said it earlier in the week that includes Jerry & Bruno - only Lunt played and his performance was no where near where it has been this season. ATEOTD if you have a big game coming up but some of your key players are missing training sessions due to international commitments then ithey aren't going to be able to perform to their best.



Wardle had a good debut in a very difficult game, will take a lot of confidence from this game.
