Fri 9 Oct: SL: Warrington Wolves v Wigan Warriors KO 7.45pm (Sky)

[Old Frightful]

And there's the other side of the massively talented Stefan Ratchford.

[DavidM]

Does he twist his ankle , and he’s sitting there holding his head

[dkw]

Keep having to check I've not turned the NFL on without realising. 

[Dave T]

Ratchford has been brilliant again. 

[Old Frightful]

Wigan look to be gradually taking control of this.

Now I've said that....

The longer it goes on tight like this, the more it suits Wigan. 

[DavidM]

I’m not sure if Wigan’s defence has been great or Wires attack is blunt

6 of one a half dozen of t'other?

[dkw]

Oh Ratchford, what a step. 

[Padge]

A brilliant escape by Ratchford.

[corvusxiii]

Lam shows Passion whilst Powell is just a WhingeFest.

[Davo5]

A great Harry Smith kick ruined by Bibby's missed tackle.

[Old Frightful]

I'm no Hardaker fan due to his off field stuff but he's ben great on the field tonight.

It still looks to me like Harry Smith is being held back from his natural game, he was a lot more direct, played at the line in the games against the young aussies earlier this year. 

[Futtocks]

The Ginger Pearl scores! 

[Padge]

Was that an "Oh F***" from the Warrington female fan then.

certainly looked like it. 

[Dave T]

Well done Wigan. 

I'm gonna hold my tongue on my own team as I know I am an outlier with the rest of our fans

[Futtocks]

Good fightback victory by Wigan, against a Wire side who were deservedly on top for most of the match.

They had more than enough scoring chances and territory 

[Davo5]

Great game,Wigan outmuscled down the middle but hung in to win it at the death,Lam really needs to give young Smith more game time.

Yup. As we often do in games like this. 

[RidingPie]

The game changed on Smith coming on. That said Wigan shouldn’t have been within 20 at half time. We were dreadful 

[Just Browny]

That was chuffing dreadful. We are clueless near the line and panicky when it's close.

He needs to let him of the leash too, stop making him play to such a structured game. Look at the young uns at Hull, cas etc, they are definitely allowed to play a much more off the cuff game.
