Only 1 prop forward interchange due to horrendous injury list. This could be a long night. So long as they play their hearts out, that's all you can ask for.

Could have been worse, Keighran could have been converting rather than 50/50 Smith.

I actually thought Trout and Norman did well but Wigan have an immense pack (they actually have 3 squads worth of pack).

Love to see Amone vs Thompson or Mago.

The team showed sparks, think things really picked up when Dwyer came one. Nice touch by Josh for Ricky's try.

On the pitch last night only Field had less appetite for taking a tackle than Moylan, not a criticism as such, only he almost gave a break away try at the death because he didn't want to take the ball in. Hopefully he won't fall foul on the MRP?

It's hard to take anything from that when I note the Wigan fans are calling it their best performance so far this year and I heard some of ours remark we weren't as bad as when we played Fev.

Has there been a change in the fitness and conditioning regime that we're having all these injuries or are we paying the piper for the relatively injury 2023 season?

To the future...

It's clearly not helped. The new guy coming in might be very good, but to not have someone in that role so much of pre season is going to lead to the issues we had.

Watched quite a bit of the game back, and it is striking how many mistakes are being made by senior players. GoB dropping the first kick he receives, with nobody near him. Then finding himself out of position for the Isa try, and his mistake leading to Field's try. Leutele not grounding the ball before French's try, Lam and O'Donnell conceding a penalty when we're defending our line at 0-0. Nakubuwei's horror 5 minutes when he first came on, Hughes' inability to stop an offload. Missed tackles everywhere.

Seen a fair bit of criticism of Trout and Norman, not convinced they were the issue to be honest.
