You're not far off. I would say that you are the best side we have faced this season. Perhaps it is just a mental thing now. The first game of the season wasn't a big game, but last night was a real chance to show that you mean business for the rest of the season.

I thought both sides played some quality rugby for the 1st 55 mins or so, espicially in the conditions. and then the Carmont try changed the game, and we stepped up a gear and pulled away. If we play as well next week Saints will get a good hiding.

we wasnt good enough lastnight, at times it was men against boys, they wanted it more than us and we looked beaten early doors

did well to stay in the game as long as we did with wigan missing the kicks at goal, we got back to drawing then threw it away with stupid mistakes

faiumu, patrick and mcgillvary getting injured didnt help with the interchanges



grix was awful, was again shown up with his shocking defending and seems to get the ball then the attack breaks down and gets tackled...cant fault the effort of the lad though

oh well roll on next week, got shown up lastnight though...especially in the forwards and on the wings but losing wardle was a big blow too

Disappointed that we couldn't compete with them for 80 minutes, 1st half was proper rugby then like has been said , once Eden dropped that ball it was one way traffic - we tried but they were faster stronger and fitter than us in the end.

As a Wigan fan I think you're overrating the Warriors a tad. That was a difficult match.

Good question, hopefully next weekend in SUNNY M/cr , didn't realise how wet it was until after the game, thanks for the roof !

Gerry's injury and Carmonts try turned the game, but we missed chances, kicked too early and had too light a bench

All in all Brown got the tactics wrong IMO

not too downhearted really, wigan were by far the better team, that good and disciplined in fact that they didnt concede one penalty in the 2nd half,despite the numerous infringements, but they took their chances that were presented to them by penalties,our mistakes,poor defending.
there wasn't much in it for the first 55 minutes, the eden's error seemed to deflate us and we never got back on track after that.
but they looked hungrier for the win and were certainly faster and stronger than us and defended very well

i thought they were!
to be fair we did try last night but some complaints about people standing up and over zealous stewarding meant that the usual people who get the chants going were reluctant to in fear of been thrown out


wigan fans are very vocal yes, but very monotonous and are like a cherry and white version of celtic supporters, rip off merchants if you ask me

I wasn't in fear of being thrown out. I was indifferent either way but the hypocrosy of the club staff is annoying. It appears it's mob rule and not the first time, with a fantastic visual and vocal support from the Wigan supporters. Sheer weight of numbers meant the Wigan fans could stand all through the game and move to the front of the stand near full time to 'bounce' etc.
20 Giants fans stood at the back are threatened with eviction unless they sit down, my pet hate unfortunately.
It used to annoy the hell out of me that Hull FC could stand all night in the John Smiths stand, our stand, whom we were advised to hand over to them, all the game. Then we have to sit down the week after.

Standing wasn't a problem last week against London so why was last night? It didn't appear to be a problem for 15000 Town supporters last week in the play offs either.

And some people complain the atmosphere is poor at the 'Library'. No S**t Sherlock.

to be fair i thought our fans created a good atmosphere - then Wigan scored and they sat down and zipped their mouths till it was time for them to leave (69-72 mins was the time of the mass exodus this week!!).

A lot of 'if we took our chance' from Huddersfield on this topic. What if Wigan took theirs and kicked the 5 goals they missed?????

Simple fact is that Wigans go forward was far better than Huddersfield. Too many yards made up the middle set the platform for the backs to exploit their week defence.

Huddersfield are not that far away from the top teams. Its just an 80 min game.

Yep Wigan could have completed more moves, but that wouldn't have changed the results





Had we converted the opportunities then the result could of been different, hence a interesting topic to discuss
