| it was a very blasé performance tonight... just like the last few games.. it looks like the players have the same 'oh well we don't win anything until the end of the season' mentality that us fans now have. No respect for possession again... defeat was coming. i was hoping we would sort out the errors from the last few games.. but we didn't, we just carried on like nothing was wrong... mistake after mistake after mistake.... i was a miracle we went in 12-12 at half time... i don't think ive ever seen us make so many mistakes in one half of rugby.
having said that, on the few occasions we had the ball and we woke up we looked good..... no worries about the rest of the season at all.....

that only started to happen when Hill came on and set an example for all the older more experienced players.

You think we will play like that in 6 months?
You think we'll play that stupidly in one month?
Tony Smith will shoot a rocket up certaina rses. I can see some players running laps at training.
We will improve and prepare better for the weather turn.
The ground didn't beat us last september, pooe discipline did

Maybe we need to find a coach who will instill some basics into the lads.....Its obvious to us all we have the players, but the instructions they are being sent out onto the pitch with are totally wrong??

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The exact point I'm making. You are spot on.
I like that Tony Smith puts an emphasis on entertainment. But, I thought he got it wrong tonight tactically. Had Wire played out a few more sets at the start of each half then they could have won the game IMO.
I know set completion is not everything but at one point it was 25% for wire. You simply will not win against any team with a stat like that.
I'm not getting too excited though, had Monaghan played you probably would have won the game. Same for saints with Roby. It would be a worry for both sides if those players were not playing at the back end of the year though.

| How serious is the shoulder injury to Ratchford ?
I thought his loss was a big blow.

| you cant win a game making that many mistakes.... i dont care who you are.
we couldn't have made that game any harder for us to win if we had tried.... after the first few handling errors we should have put the ball up the jersey and got the completion rate up... but we didnt... we just got even worse.... it was a very amateurish display that smacked of complacency.

I agree. You only get better by making mistakes like certain players did at the back end of last year. Smith won't accept poor individual performances and I'm sure he'll make that known
I'm definitely not panicking and i reckon theres more we can take from that than from duffing somebody by 30 points

More positives than negatives for me - Michael Monaghan on the pitch and we win.....comfortably.
Both sides can improve on tonight's showing, but we have more 'scope' to improve, as Mr Cullen pointed out....
Did monaghan play last time we beat you? And why do you have more scope to improve than Leeds do?

| Hopefully the players will watch this game back and learn a few lessons about ball retention.

| Considering how many errors we made, I thought our defence was outstanding. 4/5 years ago, Leeds would have put 50/60 on us if we played like that.
