2 points in the bag after three big, and intense, matches. That will do me fine. Our levels were always going to drop.

A mini victory for Wakey and something I hope they can build on, to restrict Wigan to 22 points was a big positive for them.

Happy to get the win and good to see Hill get a game, he was puffing and blowing throughout but great for his development.

Really enjoyed the fan village before the game and something the club can build on. The player cards are really popular with the kids and big thumbs up on the free tickets.

A game that wont live long in the memory... wasn't the best but it was never going to be. We lacked intensity after the past 3 weeks which is understandable. Those are the games that you need to be winning though if you want to be top of the league at the end of the season. Good to see Hill & Nsemba get game time, was impressed with both of them. Frustrating about Kaide Ellis' injury, but that should give Hill a few more games in the first team, which can only be a good thing for his progression.

Just watched this game on Wigan TV, was away yesterday.

Probably had a different perspective as I knew the score line but didn’t think we were as bad as I was expecting.

We were creating opportunities and could have scored 6/7 tries if the ball had bounced different. Wakey scrambled well too.

Bilko mentioned in commentary about the attack stifling on the right with Shorrocks in the halves. He hit Isa a few times flat or back on the inside a few times when French or King needed the ball. He’s done a fine job out of position but we’ll post so much more points with Field or even Cust back there.


KPP was very good. Hill and Nsemba didn’t look out of place. Both seemed massive and physically ready for the first team, we should see them more this year.

Would like to see the Isa 'tip' again, looked like he just put the player down flat on his back to me.

He's copped a 2 match ban for it. I haven't seen it back, but looked like a good solid tackle live.

Peet wasn’t happy it was a penalty, so he’ll be fuming with that. The amount of charges across the league is getting silly again.

Saw a still image and looked to be slightly above the horizontal.

Ban seems a bit extreme but Isa does has previous.

Hill and Nsemba will be needed against Hull
