It looks like Dan has been working on his passing game. Played like top quality centre rather than 'just' a talented rugby player last night. If he carries non like that he will make a very very good centre.
There seems to have been a bit of a change to the Wigan style of play this last couple of weeks, were previously it seemed as if the dominant move was move the ball as fast as possible to the wings hoping for an overlap. Opposition defences would then slide across matching the Wigan attackers knowing that for 90% of the time that was the way Wigan went. Now both Greene an especially Smith seem to be tacking the defence on more which makes the opposition think twice before spreading out.
Wigan also seem to be standing a bit further in field (especially on the left) which gives more room for the outside men.
An example of this was shown a couple of times by Liam Farrell being well infield ,drawing his man and releasing at the last possible moment which then left Sargy with the space to put Burgess away.
As I have said it seems to be working more on the left and it still needs a bit of work to allow Charnley the same amount of room on the right.
