Not sure what rules we are playing under but the slowest ruck I’ve seen all season and as blatant a hit forward by Bibby for the try as you’ll ever see. Our right edge is dreadful and disconnected on every play which is showing no sign of being fixed.

If we get anything back you feel it will come from Field as he is the only one who looks capable of doing anything - head and shoulders above Smith and Hampshire. Smith is having another of those poor games.
Our forwards have gone backwards in recent weeks apart from Thompson who at least looks interested, Mago and especially Dupree are offering nothing and Havard is not really doing a lot and even Ellis looks off the boil. A few need a serious rocket based on recent performances.
The incredibly slow ruck (how many weeks does Hilll get to clear the ruck but then he has always done it) is allowing Hudds to set their defense all the time so there is no broken play at all.
Walters there lacking the basics again. Size of him, he shouldn’t be concerned about getting a hit from a winger.
On a side note, if we’d have allowed Farrimond as much ball in play as we’ve allowed Hampshire today, we may have had something positive from the last two weeks.

Think Walters has been great tonight.
By far his best performance in a Wigan shirt.
Looked pumped up to make an impact when he came on and he certainly did so.
One of the few positive points on a very dull game for me.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.
Was surprised to see Field start tonight, but he had a good solid hour tonight which he topped off with a tremendous try where he stepped five players to score. Still too many errors especially in that first half but good reaction following Wardle's try. Harry Smith had a game to forget though.
Need to improve on tonight as Leigh will be licking their lips.
