...then Charnley's performance tonight was off the scale.



That is all.

He's young and was always due to have a bad game... better now than later when it really matters. Hopefully he will just learn from his mistakes and move on.

I thought Carmont had one of his worst games in a wigan shirt inside of him aswell though to be fair. His defence for Wires second try was appaling as he flew inside to get to a guy that was already covered leaving a huge hole for the impressive Blyth to stroll into and set up Monaghan.



Charnley made a couple of errors but it's all part of the learning curve and i'd like to think we'd get him a little more protection in future games if he continues on the wing(he should be playing right centre though imo).

Im a saints fan but im sure I speak on behalf of all 20 wigan fans who actually know about rugby and no, not you Hogan. But, get a clue. Charnley is young and learning the game. That overated winger is comming to the end of his career. There is a huge differerence.

Experienced player let's four balls bounce = shocker

Young lad in first full season drops four balls in first really big match infont of biggest crowd= unlucky lad, good effort, glad you,'ve got thatout the way.

Radlinski summed the whole thing superbly in the SS bar after the match.

I've never been good at cryptic crosswords Brian...care to enlighten

Well what did he say then?

good.

Radlinski basically said that Wire were more enthusiastic than we were. He brought Josh Charnley with him and Charnley himself said that he had a poor game but would do everything he could to put it right next week.

personally i think he was beating himself up too much. Poor kid had a tough game, it happens. Even the greats have had tough games. The main thing is to take it away as a positive, rather than a negative.

Well good for Charnley going to face the fans. That shows a bit of character. Mind you I hope Radlinski and the rest of the coaching staff realise it wasn't just a matter of enthusiasm. If we put it down to that alone we won't have learned anything.
