Wane brought most of the current team through the ranks so surely it is more his team than madge's? He has also debuted many youngsters this year which is a credit to him and will pay off in the future. Sure he has a lot to learn, but finishing top with most points for and against ain't bad for a first year with plenty of young lads coming though. He must have more than just passion to do that.

McDermott has never played a hopelessly inexperienced player in a big game. Oh, hang on, he might have done it at wembley, wasting a bench spot as well.....

The playoff system is a joke and you've been shamefully robbed yet again, of that there's no doubt. But, ultimately, Wane has steadily eroded the fantastic side that Maggie put together, and take Tomkins out of your lineup and personnel wise you're just not all that special compared to Leeds or Warrington (or us in the forwards) and will be worse next season (just about better than us in the backs still though). I think your achievements over the last 3 seasons have papered over a few cracks and next season might be a bit of reality check for you guys.

At least you will have halfbacks though unlike us

....

I must admit i feared this since the CC Semi, i hoped our form would improve but it didn't really. Not sure what can be done now but with the loss of key players and experience, Wane is going to find his job that little bit harder.

It means I made a mistake but I am man enough to admit it.

For me we once again lost a big game this season in the forwards, had an awful kicking game and had little/no direction from half back. This has been the case in all of the big games that we have lost this season.

he dropped the ball, Wigan went offside and Sinfield kicked the goal and the rest is history. felt sorry for the lad,it's a lonely place at full back. but to receive a high ball in wet conditions near the end of a crucial game was a task beyond him. no doubt he will come good but it was a dumb decision by wane to risk him in such a vital game.

Yeah, forwards seem very average apart from Flower (Lima bye bye) who really impressed me..hope we keep hold of him, also would have liked to have seen dudson as he has always impressed me first team making yards.

If you were a 1500 metre runner and you led the field for 3 laps(1200mtrs) and then you were caught and finally overtaken by other runners, would you say you were the best...i think not..and Wigan should be the best , unfortunately Shaun Wane is not the man to take them over the finishing line in 1st Place, he may be able to take us to within but we ned someone who can finish the race in the lead

To be fair to him he outplayed nearly all his team mates in the 1st half. Played his heart out and done us proud I think. Made a couple of big-ish mistakes but then we've recently seen Sam make some clangers.

Murphy seemed to eager to take the ball on the full for me but had he let it bounce and it hurtled back towards the Leeds side then he'd have been ridiculed then too. I feel sorry for him tonight.
