| Wilkin was terrible tonight, everything he did turned into a mess. But Rush is stubborn and won't make changes now. We won tonight due to a much improve defensive effort, but the attacking was far from perfect again. Hohaia just seemed to panic at key moments in attack and Wello was poor again in that regard.

| Would keep the same team for the play offs barring any injuries. Don,t think its worth tinkering with the team now, need to improve on the scoring opportunities.

Agree with you again, what's happening to me.
Oh, apart from Wellens. Had a good game.
You complain about Wello, but look at Tomkins tonight. Obviously he makes up for it in attacking flair, but he was shambolic at times under the bombs and even simple kicks.

To be fair I only said he was poor in attack, he literally did nothing.
Tomkins had a mare, I agree with you, but the best players in the world do that at times, even the likes of Billy Slater/Jarryd Hayne/Greg Inglis. He needs to sort his boots out, he seems to slip over far more than any other player, as if he's playing on an ice rink. He's also far too concerned with niggling and being a brat. I lost count of the amount of times he walked past the markers before playing the ball and pushed or lashed out at the markers. Summed him up when he stood on Clough's toes unnecessarily at the end of the first half.

| Rush would sell his mother before changing anything now so the point's moot - the same 17 will plod on for the next few weeks regardless. The time to experiment and try some different options was about 3 months ago, not in playoff games.

| Would have to agree with the Sad one regarding Wilkin, he tried to give us back a man advantage as best he could!

I thought we played really well last night even before mcillorum had his brain fart. Am not sure we are plodding, beating the goons at their dump is never easy, but I guess next week will be our real test. Plod on to a won next week and I will be satisfied.

Spot on. I thought Lomax and his stupid little jumps and dummies cost us a possible try tonight. It seemed as though every time he got the ball he made an error.
I thought Wilkin had a good game at first and put some decent kicks in, he did make a few errors later on though.

Forwards were superb really laid the platform. Unfortunately when you get into those positions you need to put points on the board against the likes of wigan but we have no coherence in our playmakers and the left arm does not know what the right arm is doing. we are one dimensional and easy to defend against and inevitably trying to do something too clever just bend over and give the ball back..
We will not progress far unless that is fixed or we get real lucky.
Dont mock luck, stranger things have happened on the day...

| We,ve played most of the season now without any experienced organised pivotal play, I dont see how this will improve significantly for the play offs.
Our tactic from now on should be to get into the faces of the oppsition to level out the attacking options. We need big performances now from Lance and Lomax as I think our pack has improved considerably over the last 4 games.

| First ten minutes we dominated (33 ptbs in their half compared to their 7 I think it was), but we couldn't capitalise and conceded a soft try. We need to start capitalising on chances and making territory pay.
Tactically we continued playing the original game plan when it was obvious that we needed to keep shifting the ball and making Wigan work - lomax never ran that game like he should have done.
