Cheeky question here!! How much game time do you think Mounis is going to get with the arrival of Stewart? I have Mounis in my dream team, but not sure about how many minutes he's going to get. Any ideas please?? Thanks!

Not a clue pal probably only get game time if their are injuries. Might play prop a bit until Casty is back/Mason arrives. He is a gamble so you might wanna swap him out.

An away match lost because of overseas players literally handing tries to the opposition. Nothing new. At least it only happened once and not three or four times like last season.

I am happy with the performance. To come to Wigan (who were unbeaten last year and beat us 40ish-0 last season) and compete in those conditions without Casty and Aiton injured early on, is pretty decent. Can't tell much but I will wait till next week to cast any judgement. Result obviously not happy but performance I am okay with.

Also to the bloke who bashes Escare in every post, Gigot fared so much better didn't he.........

Just watched the game this morning. Not pretty. But playing like that , we only lost by six points away at last season's finalists. Early days.

Re: Wigan Vs Dragons Friday 5th Feb : Sun Feb 07, 2016 12:15 pm  

I was there and would report that the playing conditions were horrible. I am the bloke who bashes Escare because he cannot defend and I think that the result would have been much worse if Escare had played. Incidentally the coaching staff agree with me . I also wonder about the prejudice against non french players given the dreadful performances of Yaha and Duport. Marks out of ten;Gigot 6 ,Yaha 4 Inu 7-played well except for their first try- Duport 4 - never brings others into play Myler 6 Carney 6 Anderson 5 Elima 7 Pellisier 6 Horo 7 Stewart 6 -too many daft errors ,but some good play as well -Baitieri 7-----Interchanges Taylor 7 ,but he is at least 4 stones overweight and will not do well in proper summer rugby , Bousquet 8 Mounis 9 -our best player ,I thought.I forgot about Richards who kicked very well and showed unexpected speed in defence. otherwise he never got the ball and with Duport alongside him he never will. So 6. Could I add that those watching on T.V. had he benefit of video replays

If you think Yaha was worse than Richards or Inu who literally lost the game with their lack of concentration then you're kidding yourself.

I have now studied the video highlights and cannot see what Richards did wrong. Lots of others made mistakes just as bad as Inu's and got away with it.We were ,unlike Wigan, penalised umpteen times for not playing the ball correctly ,and the identity of the miscreants should be made known.I should add that Richard's brilliant kick off led directly to our try.It is also the case that Horo took it brilliantly.Finally since Mounis and Bousquet were only on part of the time perhaps I have overmarked them and Taylor a bit.Anyway I am at least provoking some debate so let me say that if we play Wakefield at home in 30 degrees I would be pleased to let Escare show his attacking skills.
