Assuming Sambou is still coming to Wigan as rumoured we may as well swap wingers now. It's a bit of a weird situation. To be honest from what I've seen of Sambou I've not been impressed at all. I don't know what the club have seen in him. While Douglas hasn't been able to force his way into the Wigan side I think he's done okay and he's got a good work rate. I think the writing has been on the wall that he'd leave but I'm not sure Sambou is a step up.

That was a pretty poor performance from Wigan overall. We've got a real fragility at times when facing quick players down the middle and our right edge. We have had a tough run of games so maybe a bit of fatigue in there but our tendency to concede really sloppy tries is a concern.

Well that was a hospital pass if ever there was one. Then one of the worst drop outs you will ever see in your life. Terrible few minutes for Ratchford

That was some really soft defence from Wigan. Every time we get a bit of a gap we seem to relax and ease up on the intensity. Wire have been pretty decent with the limited opportunities they've had and absolutely will get another try if we let them up the field again.

Wow Dufty has been done like a kipper there!

That should have been a penalty to Wire for the theatrics alone from Smith

He was stood directly in line with the play the ball whereas Leyland wasn't. Happy to help

Really well executed kick through. Wigan way short of their best and it's inviting Wire to make the most of the opportunities they get.

Desperate

'Pull back'? He doesn't 'pull' at all, in any way. How can a video ref watch that and still back up the on field call?

That's a ridiculous decision! He's barely even touched Leyland!

Miski not trusting the sliding defence is a bit of a regular occurrence. Good hands from Wire though

Clear obstruction from the ref

Yes, he didn't get it right the first 2 times

If we play as well as we can then we should be able to win this relatively comfortably, but I do think Wire are due a win against us. Wire still have a decent pack out and that's probably going to be key if they can get anything out of this.
