I didn't see a lot wrong with Pele tackle, suspect it was reputation that got him sent off. When he returned he was a real handful and also got through a fair bit of defence. Lehmann looked like he has been playing in the group a year, very promising.

Thought Holmes had a great game, a real running threat in the 2nd half. McGowan slotted back in at full back and came up with some really good plays. Okunbor was in the crowd wearing a RAB top, looks like he is still very much part of the group.

Not really sure why we have recalled Ockunbor, didn't plsy in the reserves yesterday, think it's a move to get him to accept a pay off, be amazed if he's at Hull next year. Maybe Bradford, but have heard he was in talks Toulouse.

He was at the game yesterday, supporting the playing group and wearing a heritage Bulls shirt. 2 can play at the game of contract negotiations…..

He will win, the player usually does, he won't be at Hull next season, like Pele will get a pay off and a chance for a contract at a championship club.

As a neutral Wigan fan, I thought Pele put in a fantastic tackle. The Dewsberry player cacked it when he saw Pele hurtling towards him and tried to throw the ball away but got crunched. The referee bottled it and sin-binned him for a "late tackle" yet the ball hadn't even left the Dewsberry player's hands, it was the collision that forced it out—terrible call from the ref.

My thoughts too. The pass goes to ground because he's smashed him fair and square.
