| At times it looked like Huddersfield missed Jermaine McGillvary, think he would have got a few of the tries you guys bombed tonight.

Gonna be some sore bodies in the morning
No complaints from me, one side took its limited chances, one side didnt
Special mention to the away fans, never shut up'"
That's a good brief summary. Throughout the game, all I was thinking was 'this is brutal' from both teams. Great advert for the game, that's up there with the most physical SL games I can remember. Closer than the final score suggests, you're definite dark horses for the title this year. Enjoy the rest of the season!

Ateontd we fluffed too many chances. We did the same against Bradford lady week but it didn't matter. We need to convert those opportunities. That's all Wigan did.
Though they had the ref too
You're jokin, right? Simpson fumbled it along the ground. I've no idea why he went to the screen for that - it was clear as day that he'd knocked on.

| Great game, totally brutal, although Wigan got the 2 points and that's all it is ATEOTD, I thought they deserved it with some awesome defence.
We had plenty of opportunities to score tonight and bombed them, but we have shown we are more than capable of competing at this level.
On another night the result could have gone the other way, one thing is for certain we aren't far off, I do think the right side of Cudjoe and McGilvary would have performed better as we have seen this season. I don't think Charnley would have been Jerry in the footrace to the corner.
Away fans were brilliant, never stopped all night.
Great advert for RL.

| Physically brutal game.
Unlike cas defeat , we performed last night. And lots of positives to take away. But 95 per cent was not enough and we missed some opportunities in a tight game of few opportunities.
The third quarter was crucial period where we could not convert all that time on their line into points. We have struggled with this before, whereby we get downfield well, but cannot punch the final hole.ironically perhaps we were too close to the line last night as in the first half broughs bombs where threatening but we were too near to use them in the second half .
Ref was poor, but not the reason we lost. We will watch us play much worse than that this year and win. That will have been a great marker for rest of superlegue, plus we have the squad depth to change things.
Also, think nb will be learning loads about our players and different combos and squad rotation.
I was thinking of lending Nathan my time machine, so he could now have picked mcgival, ferguson and larne.
What a shift and a half LOD did. Looking better and better each game.

| Wigan defended like demons and were worthy winners but the thing that disappointed me most about our performance was the lack of competitivity around the ruck. It seemed to be much more important to Wigan to get up and play the ball quickly. They were making good yards and we didn't react or even compete in that area.

Wigan played the game really well last night. Up and playing the ball quickly when attacking and doing enough wrestle in defence to limit our attack without being penalised.

No wonder Quinns crowds are so low. Who wants to stand beside somebody who comes out with drivil like that

| ATEOTD forward passes didn't decide the game and they certainly didn't ruin it.
I would however think the lines-men do need to start calling them as it is near impossible for the ref to judge unless it is massively forward and he is well positioned. The lines men have the best view and are in the best position to call it.

Before anyone slates hodgson tonight, he did some good things aswell tonight and was given some really bad passes.'"
That cut out pass from Brough he knocked on wasn't his fault really. The pass was awful, Hodgson was in the air trying to take it and the overlap wasn't even on.
As others have said the scoreline doesn't do you justice. We edged it but we weren't 3 scores better in my opinion.

| great defence from wigan and they scored a good try
we hammered there line but just couldnt break through
we had success from brough bombs in the first half but then none in the second half ?
our centre/wing partnerships are really worrying at the moment, brown needs to find his first choice and let them play together...too many changes for me tonight im afraid
cudjoe isnt playing well at the moment
d hodgson was poor and so was simpson
get mcgillvary back in and quick! should not of been rested i feel.
