Who made the most handling errors for Wigan ? O'Loughlin with 3.
Only two players - Mathers and kick-mad Smith - made less average metres per carry according to the official stats. His offensive game was poor.
All players can be assessed, you know. There are no exceptions, even Andy Farrell's brother-in-law, and I don't see why he should go under the radar.
Having said all that, I concede that it was his first starting appearance since May and that he'll take time to get back into it at this level.
Again, it comes down to team selection. Did Joel Tomkins really deserve to be on the bench after the way he finished last season ? I think not.
When you hand-pick statistics to suit your arguement it makes them even less valid. For example why didn't you include try assists?
