Well if we are going to have a stinker better this game than the one against Manly.

As defending champions we shouldn't have any stinking games. I wont accept the WCC as an excuse because of simple errors and dodgy reffing!

Hauraki has been a liability today. we have looked flat across the park. Whatever anyone says the players must have one eye on next week. why hasnt mcshane got on the pitch we might as well have brought 16

1 penalty in 65 mins, then decides to even things up. We aint daft frog man.

Josh charnley good player but looks familiar? Looks like a cottingley springs boy?

I now don't mind Sam tomkins at all, mclorum don't like him at all.

Serious note credit to Wigan, by far the better team and well deserved there win. We were second best. By a long way

Meh, I was expecting a Wigan backlash from last week and that's what we got. We were just too sloppy at important moments although it's only round 2, and I think the possession stats took a toll on us.
Hauraki hopefully ended Nantwich's calls for him to play at centre as he was poor, would rather us have moved Delaney there after Smith went off.
McDermott dosen't seem to know how to play McShane, obviously not at all by tonight, which is a huge waste of a sub, especially when we were losing the forward battle.
We were far too reliant on Burrow to create a spark for us, McGuire and Sinfield need to ask far more questions of the defence.
Not going to get too concerned though, I'll wait until round 20 this year!

Burrow is wasted at Hooker. Said at xmas that we would struggle in that position.

Score was a fair reflection, no complaints from me.

Burrow, Hall and JJB worked their socks off.

A poodle springs to mind.

Tomkins has cut out the silly stuff, I think now alot of these players have played international rugby together there seems to be more respect.

The Wigan board seem to have Mcllorum as a their fall guy, I thought he played pretty well tonight, abit niggly but aggressive, as was Leuluai.

Thought he played quite well to be fair to him. I don't think he's wasted, but he needs to be played correctly. He isn't an 80 min hooker in the Buderus mould, and is suited to come off the bench when forwards are starting to get a bit tired.
I think McDermott has seen what Luke Robinson has done at Hudds and wants to do the same with Burrow.

Strange bench place if he wasn't going to play mcshane. Was impressed with JJB, some strong running. It's only early doors, not going to get too worked up. Never looked like winning always looked second best

I agree with you about Hauraki. When everyone else could see that he was having a nightmare why on earth didn't McDermott put Delaney (a recognised centre) there and move Hauraki into the pack or better still onto the subs bench.

I agree he had a semi decent game but still think he wasted there. Burrow is more effective attacking the line not controlling the play.

Either play McShane or my money is on an average season.....

From the Rhinos official twitter

"For those asking about McShane not coming on, it was because of the limited interchanges this season & the unplanned change for Smith injury"

Whats up ,weres Bentham when you need him ?
