Tonight was utterly embarassing!! Comprehensively beaten by an injury hit Wigan side..
An already poor back line just looked like a mish mash of players low on confidence ! And you probably won't see a poorer back line in super league.! Has Tony Smith actually lost the plot or the dressing room or both?? Because some of those players are not willing to sweat blood for this club !
But the thing that pi$$ed me off more than anything is that Wigan got stuck in.. Aggressive sometimes niggly !! And we just took it all...
I'm pretty furious right now I honestly don't see where a win is coming from !!

Yes it is. That was wigans second string in third bloody gear. Had they bothered they could've got to 60+ and done us a favour and got rid of the fool. Who will finish below us? No-one on current form

Yes it is, its an absolute disaster, and the simple fact is there are 19 games left of the regular season. That's NINETEEN. icon_eek.gif

Ben Currie wont be back for any of those that a fact.
by the time Chris Hill and ratchford are back there could be about Fifteen games left. we wont win a game without Chris Hill playing.

we have to win TEN games to avoid playing in the middle 8's...

TEN .....

are you joking....win ten games out of fifteen ... we would have to go on some kind of 1986 end of season premiership winning run....

only one team is worse than us and that's Leeds,
only one team has a worse squad than us that's Leigh
No team has a worse defence than us.

there is no way you can seriously expect this team to be playing super 8's rugby come the end of the season.

I'm not having a single word of What Tony Smith is serving up he needs to be sacked right now...

Not a crisis yet... But the performance today was so far away that I struggle to imagine is turning it around.

The players on paper are still capable of making a fist of it... However it needs to change fast.

That's what frustrates me the most - it was very apparent that after 20 minutes, Wigan decided to relax and take it easy, as they were under no threat whatsoever. Regardless of injuries, if they had been in a more ruthless mood it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

It's an absolute mess and I'm really not sure what the short-term answer is. But according to the pillock stood in front of me tonight, I'm not a real fan because I didn't woop and clap when we scored our final try!

Looks like Warrington are the new 'whipping boy super league rabble' club.

The old your supposed to support them band out again? Cannot stand such folk - people like they, accepting mediocrity (which we can only dream of at present) help to hold the club back. The definition of a supporter or fan is someone that has an interest in a club and wants them to succeed. Put simply, given what Smith has had at his disposal, we have not succeeded for the last 4 seasons.

In answer to the first question the simple answer is yes. The return of Chris Hill and Ratchford will not suddenly make the players be able to tackle, pass and work hard - all of which they currently are unable or refuse to do. Smith's tactics (if they exist) are outdated and clearly the players refuse to play for him. Time to go.

Throw whatever money you need to at a coach that can get the best out of the players, is able to recruit well and seems to have a succession plan - just hope he is better than the last Daryl(l) we had.

What worries me about you men last night was how unaware your team seemed.

Ryan Atkins celebrated/gurned at the camera when he scored - at 20-0 down! Seriously; read a room, Ryan.

I've no issue with Atkins celebrate a try...it shows intent. Just more of the same.

It shows delusion. Endemic of Tony Smith's sides.

I'd much rather see him celebrate a try-saving tackle. Or a match-winning try. Unfortunately, he usually manages to mess both up in spectacular fashion!

No. We just need to win 10 of the next 19 games. Even if we don't we won't get relegated!

It depends what your version of a crisis is i suppose.

What IS clear is that we are now going to be playing the season at the bottom end of the table rather than the top.

Lets just hope this rabble have the heart for the fight.... You have to worry though.

i was livid at him not for not showing any effort whatsoever chasing that kick that ended up no try,

the whole thing from tomkins being allowed to pick the ball up, walk around unchallenged, put an unchallenged kick in and then they nearly scored from it was shocking.

dont know what is going on at the moment but something doesnt quite feel right or look right, before the match on sky it showed the dressing room and seemed to me that Tony Smith was giving them all a right rollocking before they even went out to do the warm up? normally it is a brief reminder of game plan, where they are to attack, who are the threats etc, this looked like a complete dressing down
