What are you taling about ?

Loughlin and Ainscough where fantastic.

gleeson, considering he hasnt been in our team a week done ok! he was asking vievers at one point what he had to do in the warm up!

I totally agree, by Wigan`s standards throwing the ball stright into touch and failing to beat the first man on a regular basis is a good debut.

Your right, when he does get settled in to the Wigan way of things he will be beltin by knocking on on a regular basis and running round in circles close to the opponents try line.

Think Bailey did ok tonight but i hope Joel Tomkins gets a run inside him as i feel he will provide him with much better service.

Thing is at Warrington we've always gone to the right, whether that be Gleeson, Grose or Kohe-Love before him. Our left centres have always struggled for service, could this be the same your way but reversed?
Is Carmont going to receive all the ball? you seemed to attack that left edge most tonight

You mean you have not worked it out?

In a word, yes.

I suppose tbf I was a bit quick there, it did seem you guys highlighted a weakness over there and tried to expose it.
Last year quite a few times at Wire we saw both King and Gleeson pop up on the left hand side at the same time, almost RU style to quite devastating effect. If you could throw hock into that mix you could put on a couple of brilliant moves occasionally on that side.
Lastly I thought tonight whenever Gleeson received the ball there was nothing really 'on'. When the ball was being switched to the right i probably counted 2 dummy runners in total, neither of which looked like doing anything. Contrast that with Saints when Cunningham takes it up near the line with two runners in close proximity, pulls about 4/5 guys in before distributing the ball to Pryce who runs the play in a much healthier position to attack than Leuleui or Tomkins were all night

I thought you went to the opposite side a lot more especially early on, he was never going to have it all his own way on debut in a derby and up against one of the form defensive centres at the minute.

He wasn't great, but he wasn't bad, the key to Gleeson being successful though is getting him early quality ball to work with.

Exactly mate. Six figures my a**e!! Couldn't lace Gidley's boots.

What must Micky Shenton be worth???? and if Gleeson gets in the England Squad on the back of that performance and recent ones for Wire then the RFL are having a laugh.

HOWEVER in his defence, you can't play without the ball. He must have touched it about 5 times!!!.
