I enjoyed watching us yesterday. After the Hull game last week it was a huge improvement.
No player really played bad. If we had been more composed I think we could of taken a 12-18 point lead in the first half.
I'd keep changes at a minimum. I'd put Johnson in, in 2 weeks for Crabtree. A younger pair of legs in the prop department is something I'd take a chance on against Leeds.

Just watched that incident when the ref called out the Wigan captain and said,'Thats seven penalties and could have been seven more, sort out your ruck and foul play'There was something more that I couldn't quite make out but that was the gist of it.He then went on to do nothing about it, strange refereeing.On the night we were not quite good enough but a big improvement.

I heard it too, so his he saying he let 7 others go he should have blown for??? strange!!!

He was on telly and playing to the cameras like the trend seems to be these days !

Centre stage and bigger than the game itself
Penalised Eorl at one point for double tack;e /ho;ding down -but when you slow it down he hadnt a finger on the player when he dropped to the floor again!

NOT the reason we lost but when we see a game reffed without a bias you wont notice the ref !
standard`s as poor as Ive seen

It's a Team game but as usual the same players take the blame.
The game was lost down the flanks with some awful defending.the number of stray passes and fumbles are overlooked.
The new Players are still not convincing and the Recruitment along with long contracts given must be Questioned. It the losing continues Heads will roll and it should not just be Players.

Much better, but my god there's some right knee-jerking going on, we're 2 games into a new season and people are wanting players dropped, coaches sacking etc.....lets give it a few game eh ?.

We played quite well last night, effort was there we were just beaten in the end by a couple of individual errors and a lack of concentration at times. Plenty of positives. I'm sure some of our fans just expect us to win, see the reult and go and pant-wetting when we've lost !.

Spot on Daz- don't forget we also havent had the preseason games others have, in both games so far we've been in the mix for the first 60 at least.
The main positive for me last night was how Brough stayed calm- high shot after high shot on their line, holding down and wrong calls about who's ball it was and he didn't lose it- and didn't it make a difference to how he and the team played.

it's a bit silly isn't it? it's becoming like football now, fans wanting managers/coaches sacked because we lose a couple of games.
as i've said and daz has alluded to we played alright for most parts last night, but for a few individual errors, dropped balls, missed tackles, loss of concentration, misplaced passes etc we should have won, as a team we did alright, just basic errors cost us.
that's not the coaches fault it's the players! and i'm pretty sure the players didn't mean to do it unless they are deliberately doing it to get the coaches sacked.

2 games in, one poor game where we lacked match fitness another against a top team who capitalised on our individual mistakes, plenty of knee jerking going on, get behind the team, support them instead of looking for negatives all the time.

get to leeds in 2 weeks and backtheboys!!

it does feel as though we have just carried on from the back end of last season with no improvement.

lunt and mullally very slack defending to let bateman through for which won them the game, bateman showed ferres how to play lastnight

patrick shaving his head to make him look abit tougher



enjoyed his knock on that led to our try, used to do that for us a fair bit!

Lack of pre season is not an excuse. It is something that should have been sorted. Baring in mind it was January, contingencies should have been put in place in case any games were cancelled due to the weather.

It's not just 2 games either. It's continued from last season.
