He did although when Ashton made his 2nd long break Bell looked slow and unfit chasing back?

Hopefully that is due to lack of match fitness because overall I like the look of him.

Anyone else who doesn't think Morgue is any good?


They have a very good 17, not sure they have that much after that and no youth players to call on. Players like Brown, Richardson and Kersahw are very average players.

Felt that Wigan matched rovers physically for the full eighty minutes, which is what is probably required for anyone else hoping to take them down. Teams need to somehow stay in the fight with them, which isn't easy to do.


Once the game entered the last twenty minutes with the result still in the balance, it became a simple choice of who took their chances, and Wigan did.


Thought it was interesting that as the game slipped away from them, rovers lost their shape and started chasing the scoreboard rather than trusting the systems which have served them well so far, although the injury disruptions probably didn't help their cause.


The nagging doubt for rovers now is that when the key games arrive Wigan will always find that extra gear to swing things their way, which they've had a habit of doing down the years.


Think this puts a little extra pressure on rovers for next week, they won't want to be losing two weeks in a row, killing the momentum they've built up in these early weeks. Whether we can match the physicality Wigan showed tonight remains a major doubt though.

I've just realised that it was brown playing in the 2nd half when I couldn't work out who it was.

Morgue lives off 2 or 3 sensational tries a couple of years ago. Avergae player for me, similar to fages who I have never rated

I almost wish we hadn't beaten wigan in the cup
