Didn’t affect Wigan though.

It did mate, we struggled in the first 40 when we looked very leggy. Speed and skill rescued it for us.

Well, I'm back after a year of missionary work in Keighley and I wish I hadn't bothered.

Woeful. Burgess has a couple of weeks to turn things around. Good cup win and beat Saints away and we could be back on track. Reality says we may just pip Widnes (at best) and get bullied at Saints.
