Is it just me then who thinks that Gardener is an average player playing average rugby ? if Ryan Hall/Tom Briscoe played in the same way that he has been doing you would think they was having a quiet period.

Ok. Wello dropping a ball on his way to the tryline was a disgrace. Jammer throwing that stupid offload early on was awful. Meli giving away two penalties, one which led to that try that never should have been, was a disgrace. Lomax kicking a grubber when he should have gone long and high, stupid. Shenton not covering the ball in the tackle in the dying minutes. LMS dropping a ball under the sticks from Roby, Scott Moore switched off enabling whatsisface to get that final try ...

Stop scapegoating him. The whole team was a bit off throughout the match at various times. Not helped by having the god knows how many version of a halfback pairing or half the team playing injured or missing. Not helped by a try being awarded to Wigan that never should have been.

We played our hearts out and our bollox off against all the odds and came up just one minute short. I'm blaming no-one for that loss and criticising no-one for it either. I just hope we can field a team on Monday because God knows where we are going to get players from.

Gardner is cack. Foster is class

Ade's been good so far this season, but today he was dire in defence. At least twice he came in when he didn't need to, and Wigan scored from it.

Not read the whole thread, as I thought this was a thread about how good this kid is and wanted to add my agreement. Hope it's not true about the Union interest as, in my opinion, he would be a much bigger loss to our game than Eastmond.

Him and Lomax are a pair of cracking players, they need to be in the England RL squad ripping it up.
