| The whole performance was an embarrassment, we had one of the worst home games I can remember in a long time, the ref was the worst I've seen at the stoop in many years (and their are many performances to pick from). I'm not saying he cost us the game, we cost ourselves the game, but he let Wigan get away with anything they wanted. Do refs not see offside when they come down the stoop? Are they all taken back by how south they are that they cannot walk 10 metres back a play while making the team move 10 metres back? Because it isn't just this game, it's nearly every game at the stoop, offsides at the line do not exist when a team is going down the centre of the field. Some of the offsides today were embarrassing, Wigan hardly ever making it back the 10, and when they did, they move up in a line before the ball is even played yet, and Alibert just let them get away with it. It's awful to watch, and he just looked clueless in the centre of the field. Also how was their only two forward passes in the whole game? Both were our passes? How can that even be right?
The team were awful, like Rea said, in his regurgitated statement from the Hull game 'they didn't play together, they looked at each other expecting the other guy to do the work for them' etc.. etc.. etc.. Rea's a clueless coach at times. How can he think we should start with Cook and Olsi as our starting props? This is against Wigan, they have a huge pack, and we start with a make-shift prop and a small prop, we had Bryant and Wheeldon on the bench, but that would be stupid, putting a big guy on from the start.
I can't even be bothered critising each players performance as I could be sitting at the computer for the next day it was that awful. They looked un-interested and couldn't give a damn.
And for those that comment on the fact Rea can't do anything about the team not performing because they are in contracts and he can't do anything about it, then he might be in the wrong job, as last time I looked a coach didn't just watch the players not care about teamwork or each other and let them carry on with it, this isn't the year 7's playing Rugby League for the first time, half of them have played it for the majority of their lives, and they have no excuses. If some of the players don't want to play then Rea should publicly name them and stop playing them, as he clearly hasn't got a voice anyone respects in the dressing room.

| Oh, and well done to Wigan, the best performance by any team I've seen at the Stoop in many years, reminds me of how St Helens used to play. Although they will be stuffed if Tomkins and Richards leave for the NRL in the next few years.

| Quote Rascal Bongo Stork="Rascal Bongo Stork"I couldnt tell if I'd actually heard the Donkeys comment or it was my imagination as I was heading out at the time - he had it spot on. A very very good team playing a very bad one is rarely entertaining. I love seeing the top players in the sport doing what they do best, Tomkins today for example, but if they're doing it against blokes who are playing like a pub team it takes away from it all.
Anyone here get stuck in the farce at the ticket office before the game? Took me half an hour to get my tickets (which I already had, just had to pick them up) and got into the ground just before the first try. Totally amateur set up.
Looking forward to moving ground, year zero, clear out everyone whose contract is up, pray someone buys us, sacks the chief exec and everything will be fine and dandy.
One last thing - £5 in at the Skolars tomorrow with a Broncos ST or a ticket stub from today.'"
Ridiculous situation at the ticket office - plenty of one off fans (attracted by the name of Wigan) were ridiculing the situation - and quite rightly.
Luckily someone had the initiative to open a gate and take 20 quid for entrance instead of using the very slow ticket office.

| I only remained after halftime just to watch Wigan's masterful comprehension of the game. I'm not going to bother complaining about our dire performance as it will serve no purpose but the difference between todays and the Bradford game was polar opposites.

2nd Lowest gate for the 21st visit of Wigan in SL......and they couldn't handle the "rush"
tell me lads and ladies....exactly what does the CEO have to do, to be shown the door?

| Saving ourselves for the Cup.
So glad i couldn't make it today.
I have to say we as fans should look forward to playing the top 4, our team pitting ourselves against the best if they were competitive. But you always know they going to get spanked, hence if i have to miss a match i will always plan to miss one of these games of hurt. Says alot doesn't it. Rest assured not going to gillingham to see yet another walloping by wolves, i know we beat them last season. something to do with a cup final the following weekend.

| Tim I agree with just about about all you say, except I think the ref was just poor in general rather than favouring Wigan. I think you are right that Wigans performance was superb. If you look at players like Williams, Wigan have a production line which will replace any losses. Can you believe that was Williams first SL game? On the other hand London were awful. Those of us paying to watch that team have been cheated. Definitely the worst London team I have seen, clueless and uninterested. The lack of effort is an insult to paying customers so I have no worries about insulting the London pack as the biggest bunch of Jessies I have seen masquerading as rugby payers. They couldn't dominate a girl guides team.

| I thought we were always gonna get hammered. Wigan are a class act. All their players have the same overall body shape, huge and powerful. we were never going to match them.
Went downhill rapidly after Ben Fisher went off early on with a cut head.
Tomkins worth the admission price alone.
Hoping for a closer game at Skolars tomorrow.

| Yea, 4 of us won't be going to Gillingham for the match against Wire, the journey is too much for us, we went last year, but won't do it again.

| We can't tackle, can't kick, can't pass, can't catch. A terrible afternoon yet again.
Witt must be the worst kicker I have seen. Kick off out on the full and yet another penalty not finding touch.

No effort, no guts, no passion and no pride! Have I left anything out?

It's a disgrace that we're paying these players to play rugby, you'd of thought they were all youngsters that had only just started playing Rugby League, but they aren't. And they have no excuses. Wigan were very good, but we didn't exactly put up a fight to stop their momentum, just let them play their game and we had no input.
And I didn't mean to come across saying that the ref favoured Wigan, he didn't favour them, he was just awful in every aspect of his game. Didn't know what to do half the time.
