Josh Thewlis, who scored two tries for Warrington, told BBC Radio 5 Live:<\/p>\n
“It was tough and you can see that by the scoreline. It took us until late in that second half to get up on them.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t just me changing position – James Bentley went from the back row to the centre and that’s something that will probably be missed, but he did a great job for us.<\/p>\n
“It was disappointing last week [losing to Catalans], we reviewed it in France and we left the game in France. This week was a new challenge for us, Wigan are a great side and we knew it was going to be a big game under the lights.<\/p>\n
“Something we’re working on this year is protecting our home and making that 100% record.”<\/p>\n
Wigan head coach Matt Peet told BBC Radio Manchester:<\/p>\n
“It was a tough game. [It was] two teams with players out of position and young players in, and ultimately I thought Warrington handled it better than we did.<\/p>\n
“I’m proud of the lads’ effort and commitment, but there will be times that we’ll look back on and wish we could have executed better.”<\/p>\n
On the number of injuries in the squad: “We’ll never use it as an excuse. Liam’s hamstring doesn’t look great and he’ll get a scan.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to cope the best we can and hopefully Liam’s not too bad.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Thewlis, who scored two tries for Warrington, told BBC Radio 5 Live: “It was tough and you…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":549396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-549395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
