Crap performance just crap.

I think our season is one based on hoping to get a good cup run and stay in touch of the top 6.

Always with a team that scratched around for form winning the big one (yes usually Leeds but also us last year). That coułd well happen again this year with Warrington having a real chance of doing that.

There's reasons why both Wigan and Wire aren't at their best but both will be a totally different prospect come september.

I can't see why the club would happy with a cup run and top 6. We've been building every season for years now. And then suddenly this season we seem to have taken quite a few steps back.
We've lost some very good senior players and just not replaced them.
It's as if we are trying to do things on the cheap!

Agreed...our prospect come September will be totally different from Wigans.

We have no dog and no guile. If we had just one we would have a sniff but neither means we're knackered this season. I just hope to goodness this nothing season is part of the plan but as usual I think we give TS too much credit in Viet regard. Daryl Clark should be here now or at the very least Dwyer add Rhys should be playing

The one glaring error for me was the lack of high kicks to the corner for Joel Monaghan. The biggest percentage of his tries come from this tactic and it appears nobody could be bothered to try it tonight. Considering how much better Wigan were allegedly, you did well to keep the margin so small. Early days yet and I'm sure you'll turn things round.

Attack is all over the place. What I don't get is Matty Russell on the bench? If he's fit play him if not don't pretty straight forward.

Kicking game is all over the place. Ratchford is wasted at FB. Myler & Atkins are just a waste.

Mr Smith yet again as got it all wrong. Dreading next weeks game.

I wonder if those 3 Challenge Cups just papered over the cracks?

The reasons we aren't at our best are called Lee and Briers and come September they will still be valid.

Wigan will be happy with the points from that display as they did the basics right, only the last 20 when they were tiring that we started to show any form of attack which usually ended with knock ons or penalties against us.

What is so frustrating from this seasons performances I have seen is that we have changed our game plan to the old 5 drives and a kick, and our kicking game isn’t great. When you expect the ball to be moved out wide it is being brought back into mid field. No offload game which has proved so successful in the past. I wonder if this is a confidence thing or TS instructing them not to.

Not going to criticise player by player but I have said it on other threads that Asotasi does not do enough IMO. I know some overseas players take time to adjust to the British game but for a prop they have to run the ball take the team forward and tackle and hopefully put some fear in the opposition. I don’t see enough of that in him. Anyone who went to London and Salford may be able to defend him more.

Credit tonight to Russell who added some attacking flair which is sadly missing from the team.

A title would have papered over the cracks Sally but so far he's come up short. Nevertheless some players no longer live for special brew or knock their missus' about so i'm happy to be also-rans with nicer chaps
