World Club Challenge - Wigan vs Brisbane

Brisbane repel the Warriors and Maranta is able to claim a spilled cross-field kick to defuse pressure for Brisbane.

Ofahengaue is on and receives a penalty for a lifting tackle.
 
Milford goes for an early grubber but it trickles dead before Maranta can get to it.

Wigan scrum 10m out from their line.

Less than 3 remaining in the half.
 
Milford still isn't a half. He's not doing anything. We really need a half with a good kicking game. Hunt, while brilliant in other aspects, is one of the worst kickers in the NRL. All he does is bomb it. Both him and Milford have tried grubbers that were absolutely useless.

As as others have mentioned, our attack is shit. Absolutely no variation or spark. Simple, boring stuff that Wigan can read easy.

Blair looked rubbish too. Very little work
 
Hunt gets in a rushed chip kick for Milford but Wigan claim it and after going through a few sets of hands, ends up dying with Bowen.

Wigan work their way into Broncos half but throw a forward pass before they can apply any real pressure.

Hodges off the scrum goes for a chip and chase, but Bowen claims it and that essentially takes us into half-time.

6 all Half-Time.
 
I think for now, our sloppy attack can be put down to rustiness and the horrible pitch. I'll wait until the Rabbitohs before I truly judge how Milf and Hunt seem to be gelling.

Milford to fullback is by no means ruled out
 
Love it. This will galvanise the forwards who've all been great. They're getting smashed by the 7 metres being kept by the referree but holding their own.

Dodds is off the game pace
 
I was already tired as **** waking up for this. I don't know how I haven't fallen asleep. Boring as **** so far.
