Thought the team put it in today, with the key men to come to back for the play offs, more than happy.

No lack of effort.

I thought some key personnel were poor by their standards. Hodgson in particular, I thought Westwood was poor, Bridge as usual when you play him halfback anonymous.

We'll lick our wounds and come back.

I think there'll be a different side we see for the next couple of games, had a look of the walking wounded a little to me. Be nice to use these Wakey & Bradford games to rotate.

Considering we had Harrison, Morley and Briers out, plus losing Solomona just after half time we actually matched Wigan very well.

The difference in the game was just silly errors, Hodgson various dropped balls, Blythe turning and looking at the ref before Charnley went full length etc...

I think if we have a full strength team against Wigan, and a better ref around the ruck (how long is Mossop allowed to hold down after not dominating a tackle?) then we definately have the beating of this Wigan team.

We saw against Hudds earlier this season that Bridge isn't a good half back against the top teams, thought Joel Monaghan had a poor game as did Westwood.

Know what your saying about players having a bad game, but the effort was there, just a bad day at the office for some.

Boys put it in today, best team won though.

Proud of the comeback and the fight we showed in the first 10 of the second half.

But just not good enough.

Reminded me dare a say it of the Cullen days.

Agree, but theres a big light at the end of the tunnel imo.

I know where you're coming from.

To be honest I'm not proud of them. Conceding so many points at home defending the cup, the players need to take a long hard look at themselves - that was a battering, simple as.

Wire were desperately below par with key players missing, however I don't think Wigan can play any better than they did today.

Have I got this right - you are more than happy at being knocked out of the cup at home conceding 44 points?


It was a gash performance and we all know it. Not taking anything away from Wigan.

there was a clear lack of effort from my point of view. from the 20th to 50th minute they looked like they were interested, the rest, well they looked like they would rather be anywhere else.

during that period, lima was off, we struggled with him today, and mickey mac was on, who's gash,

dont know what your on about pal..we were beaten by the the better team simple as that but we were far from gash...just cos we did`nt win,,you sound like a spoilt little bratt who does`nt get his sweeties from mummy cos you were a bad boy at school..deal with the fact we lost,you never know we might be even worse at ot but may end up winners..always look on the bright side of life

You said you were "more than happy". I countered your contentedness. The rest of your diatribe I duly ignore.
