Where is the uncertainty ?
I think there's only you in the dark.
We KNOW they are both going ....................... no ......................... good as gone.

They're both as good as gone. Tomkins to NZ and Wane to NZ as assistant coach. No wonder the wheels are coming off!... God knows how we'll be next year!

you hear about players all the time not really know whats going on behind closed doors etc Tomkins with Powell.

Sign of a champion team playing badly and winning, hanging in there until the end, playing for 80 minutes, etc.

It's a sad state of affairs when the Head Coach of Wigan Warriors leaves to be an Assistant Coach elsewhere.

Unlike last week, I always thought we would in tonight, Bradford seemed to be working too hard to keep up with us and it told in the end.
On the negative side It looks like the start o the season again and we need to get our partnerships up and running again, lots of uncertainty and missed plays.
Hopefully it will come right in the next few weeks.

After the first half there was no plan B.

Oh hang on hmmmmm.

You must be one hell of an optimist then, because mid way through the second half we were clueless. Green was constantly passing behind runners, he & Smith were passing passing to players stood still, and at the point where Smith chose to put in a grubber when we had what looked like 5 on 3, ten yards from the line, I didn't think we'd score again, never mind win.

It picked up once we started doing the basics properly, and to be fair, showed a hell of a lot of spirit in pulling it out of the fire. But for 70 minutes we were second best.

Oh, and the booing at half time? Get a grip.

I have it on good authority that both will be here next year. But that's not to say we can stop the wild speculation!

I will try and answer objectively. We played for about 20 mins. The first 5 and the last 15. In between we were awful. Bradford ran out of steam and I think that let us back in but collectively we didn't look like a team for much of the game.

Many errors with passes going to ground and behind the man. I felt our half backs were awful. Took the wrong option time and again. What summed up their night for me was toward the and we were pressing the Bradford line and I think it might have been Micky Mac who had the ball and had taken into the Bradford line about 2m out. The tackle was not complete but Green starts waving at the the players to his right. MM offloads but Green is too busy waving at the other players so the ball goes to ground.

We seemed to make a shed load of errors for 65 mins.

Now granted Roby was very poor and Bradford were a mile offside umpteen times but he wasn't chucking rubbish passes.

We certainly upped the tempo in the last 15 mins and it was a very exciting finish but Bradford will feel hard done by. When Tiscon went over everybody was going mental



The positives for me were Flower who looked very sprightly considering he'd been out for so long. Although Hampshire dropped a high kick under pressure the led to a try he didn't let it get to him and as the game wore on he seemed to grow in confidence. Gave Charnley a lovely pass for a try. I think Bradford missed a trick in not pressuring him more. They put a few kicks his way but after the one he dropped I can't remember them having players near enough to challenge him. Hansen ran himself into the ground and was captain for the night and Tuscon certainly gave 110%.

Overall though we just didn't look like a team for much of the game and lacked organisation.

I just read the BBC report and I have to say while Francis Cummings is understandably gutted I think he is way off to suggest we were favoured by the ref. He was awful so maybe Cummings spotted stuff that went against Bradford but we had plenty daft stuff the other way e.g. their player grounding the ball in goal which he totally missed. They also got a 40-20 that most people thought never was. Be interested what others think about that one.
