2 Jul: SL: Wigan Warriors v Widnes Vikings KO 3pm

[John Drake]

Discuss Wigan Warriors v Widnes Vikings here.

[Exiled Wiganer]

The last time we were this bad in the league was 1903, which itself was the culmination of a run of fallow years in which we also went 11 games without a league win. Which is our record.

I think that breaking the club record for the worst league team of all time is beyond this group of players, but you never know. Taking the next 4 games, last year we lost both home games against Widnes, got hammered in Perpignan and struggled against Wire and Leeds, so anything is possible even if we play as well as we did last year. Strange times.

[Father Ted]

Certainly a must win game for Wigan which I do think they will get the 2 points.

No Rangi Chaser so that will help Wigan's cause.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by 10.

[Bartholemew Smythe]

Strike breakers to be leaving early from this one!!

[Ant]

Tough decision on this one...

 

On one hand I want to make sure Widnes can't remotely catch the giants, but the  I want Wigan to stay below us Too 

Also Wigan in their longest ever losing streak us just funny, makes a change from us being there

All the referees' fault, of course. 

[JonM]

Real bottom half clash, 16 minutes into the game, neither side has completed a set of six. Widnes in the Wigan half for the first time now.

[Ant]

They are they only ones keeping you close to the 8 ?

[JonM]

Nice kick from Leuluai to O'Loughlin for a try. Simple conversion for Williams, 6-0.

[Old Frightful]

First blood to the Pies.

Wigan 6 Widnes 0.

[JonM]

Good to see Clubb back on a RL pitch.

[Futtocks]

Neither SL tie has served up many points yet.

[JonM]

All Wigan so far, don't think either side has made a break yet.

[JonM]

Clubb under the posts off a nice move after several consecutive sets. 10-0 with a simple kick to come.

[JonM]

Tierney try 16-0.

[JonM]

Widnes try, very much against the run of play.

[JonM]

Break from Mellor, eventually run down by Williams, some nice interpassing from the next tackle and then a kick from Corey Thompson, didn't see who touched down.

16-6 HT.

[Old Frightful]

White, apparently.

[chuffer]

white in again!

[JonM]

Another try from White, this one off a charge down/ricochet and an outrageous dummy. Again very much against the run of play. Penalty after penalty in favour of Wigan, but not much creativity from either side.

16-12
