As an aside, isn't it the most frustrating thing in the world that hundreds of thousands of people choose to watch rlthisrl over rugby league?

The only plus side for me this weekend was being surrounded by West Country Union fans in my Irish Union shirt and watching England self-implode AGAIN

Yeah it did. 6 mins on the clock....up the jumper, complete your sets, put a good kick in. Dont throw wild cut-out passes to your wing within your own 30.

Yes, agree. The bad pass by Randall was infuriating at that stage, but we should have had the game won by then. Several players blew try-scoring chances within a yard or two of the line in the first half, and Wigan were truly awful in the first half. Remember the 72-8 game v Wakey in 2005, when we led 36-0 at half time? It should have been something close to 36-0 at half time on Saturday. We actually played really well for the first forty minutes apart from our finishing. 10-6 at half time was always unlikely to win us the match - Wigan simply couldn't be so poor again after the break.

If there genuine league fans they would have been there watching one of your biggest matches of the year wasnt last year on a saturday n there was 2 people on my coach back that had been to chelsea than made their way over london to watch the game.

How did they manage that?

Duno but they must have missed the first few mins

Edited for accuracy.

WE can go on about Chad's pass (what was Will Sharp putting his hand up for to ask for the pass) but we also kicked out on the full and let one of their kick offs bounce out for a goal line drop out.

We do that so often im surprised newcomers dont think its part of the rules

On the positive side, at least we achieved this season's forty/twenty!

What is a 'genuine' league fan ?

Why put people in a position to choose is my argument.

Again I ask, do Hull KR have the same regular kick off time as Hull City, do St Helens choose to kick off at the same time as Liverpool or Everton, do Salford kick off at the same time an Man Utd or Man City every week.

Its madness exclusing 130,000 sports fans (not necessarily RL fans I accept) from watching the Quins

To be fair, SKY dictate the KO times of all the sports they cover and the premiere league, championship,,,,,,,divisions 1,2,3,4 in old money have KO times from 12 to 8pm on Sat and Sunday.
We need to ignore th......nearly went of on a marketing tangent there
Let's just say we are our own sport and we need to attract our own fans.

What newcomers
