I also wondered this. Might have thought the defender would get across to cover?

Passes from Marshall are as rare as Rocking horse droppings, I am not sure he knows how to perform this skill.

[Damien]

I thought that was harsh, it didn't look like a Warrington knock on to me

[wilsontown]

Wigan knock on, scrum to Wigan...

[Man of Kent]

Stupendous offload

[DavidM]

Im putting him in my WC squad

[Futtocks]

A couple of close scorelines so far this evening. So unlike the points-fest blowouts of the NRL.

[Josef K]

What a fantastic take by Connor Wrench. 

[Man of Kent]

Tough ask for Warrington now. Have to say I really enjoy this Wigan side. They play with gay abandon in the oppo’s half

[wilsontown]

Ha, I like this new Warrington tactic of playing the ball to no-one.

[DavidM]

Wigan have quickened it up now

[wilsontown]

Wigan almost caught out there but Warrington too useless to capitalise. Only going one way surely.

No doubt the credit will go to Marshall for getting to the loose ball, but that’s seriously smart play from Jai Field to avoid holding Ashton down, knowing he’d have to get up and play the ball to nobody. 

[Damien]

Wigans speed fairly comes in handy in defence when teams make breaks. Normally when players like Ashton get clear it's a certain try.

Jai's not just a clean pair of heels.

Wire just look like an awfully coached side to me, basic skills lacking and No identity or purpose.

[andyscoot]

That was a lovely pass from French!

[DavidM]

How good was that from French

Just look at Marshall's face when he touched the ball down - even he didn't quite believe it.

[Man of Kent]

A peach. Great kick, great gather, great pass, great support. Whisper it but Wigan are the best side to watch this year, the entertainers.

They’ve played pretty well tonight & created a lot of chances only to be let down by the final pass,loss of confidence can do that to a team.

[DavidM]

Well explained mr video ref

My point stands, lack of basic skills.

They are awfully coached.

 

Ive seen my side go from doing the same as Wire to the opposite! And it was only the coach that changed.

Smith’s bomb-kicking needs a mention here. They’ve caused havoc.

They looked the better team for most of the first half.

Plus Wigan chasers incredible speed.
