Watched him today for the academy vs Hull, and was really disappointed, played full back, looked nervous and got rounded easily by Hull's hooker for a try.

What were the teams mate? Who scored the tries?

Stood next to the Wigan bench which was an interesting insight into coaching.

Thanks mate.

Mike Cooper not playing today. May be injured but if he's just been left out maybe we could explore bringing him in early to help with our go forward problem. Equally if Partington is only trusted enough to play 2 minutes of the game yesterday maybe an early move to Salford would be better for him.

Absolutely.

We have a very good pack at the moment but against Saints we always look one experienced head short.

I also hope something official is done about French, the uncertainty about his future can’t be healthy.

KPP is another player I’d like to see with us next year, if he’s staying then I do hope he says so to end the speculation.

Wigan won’t want the tail to wag the dog.

Covid related apparently.

Would be great if we could bring him over mid season though.

Interesting to see Nicholson getting a run for Wire, also if there was any possibility of signing Wardle we really need to. He is a fantastic wingers centre.

Yes Nicholson and Wardle going really well.

If Warrington can hold on I think it could be a massive result for Wigan's season. In all honesty I don't think we can go to St Helens or Perpignan and win in a playoff semi final.

It’s another test for Peet to ensure it’s a happy camp regardless of who’s staying or going.

Both players really important for our chances this season and hopefully next.

Not comfortable wanting Wire to turn them over but it is looking like they have done us a favour today.

Really impressed with Nicholson. Can appreciate why we are a bit salty about losing him.

Really hope signing Wardle is still a chance. He’s a natural talent, good pace, footwork and hands.
