Well done boys, that was outstanding, Westy superb, and the returning Gaz Ellis an enforcer which who is irreplaceable, super atmosphere and a reet good session going home. Not many will win at the pie dome, hope we can kick on now, we have good players to come back.

I didn't have much luck with the 79th minute equaliser costing me four hundred quid. But bollox to that. The boys finally caught a break and that's all that matters. Think it could have finally broke us if Hardaker had converted but instead we went on to create Golden Point history. Fine lines, innit? Bl00dy fandabbydozee.

I did wonder if you got paid out on a golden point win or not! Gutted , exactly why I like the golden point though, would of felt like a defeat drawing that game, sounded a great game, gutted I didn't go, Radfords fault awesome display by the boys, hopefully a turning point
The stats make better reading for the forwards this week. Still struggling to make significant inroads, the metres per carry were not impressive, but pretty much all of them put their hand up and did plenty of work.
Paea, 12 carries for 64 metres. Masi, 10 for 51 Thompson, 14 for 65 Ellis, 9 for 55 Mini, 21 for 116 Manu, 19 for 101 Lane, 7 for 46 Westerman, 17 for 70
Also not one of them made a handling error and they conceded only 4 penalties between them.
Nothing there is headline grabbing, none of them managed much more than 6 metres per carry, but it just proves that if they can just hold their own, we have enough quality elsewhere to get the job done.

I was surprised when I looked at the table that the team losing to the golden point doesn't get anything, Wigan are still on 0. In a lot of other sports, like Ice Hockey, the team losing in overtime gets a point for the draw after full time.

Nah, I am ok with that. I think we need to accept that he is never going to be a one man wrecking crew, but he is a very solid tackler, he makes minimal errors and has a presence which attracts defenders. If he can up his work rate (10 carries is fine) and work on his offload game (really good one led to Tuimavave scoring yesterday) then he can be a useful player.
I still think he runs too upright into contact though. He is a tall guy anyway, so the way he runs makes him too easy to stand up and drive back. Needs to lower his shoulders into the collision and then you might find that his leg drive will get him a lot more metres after contact.
