Pathetic. Completion rates embarrassing. Not having a reliable goal kicker has cost us yet another game.

What does everyone else think?

We need a goal kicker for start. Smith is not consistent enough. Does OK one week and poor the next. Should not have mattered though at 6-20 up.

From the BBC website reportIain Thornley added a fourth to make it 20-6."

Beeb with their finger on the pulse as usual.

TBF to them the live scores section on the Super League website had Thornley down as scoring although it has been changed to Williams now, well George Willia so it's getting closer

Seems to me we're lacking leadership on the field, without Lockers nobody is stepping up. All we needed was some composure in that last half hour, just going through the basics and not making stupid mistakes, but there was no-one there to set the tempo.

Well surely that guy should be MM? But he's not the guy to do it.

Now where have we heard that before? I like SW & we've done some fantastic stuff with him charge. But I wish he'd change the record once in a while.

I know this [iis[/i the public face & you don't air dirty laundry in press conferences, but I just want him to come out with "someone's getting a kick up the aris for this" once in a while. Put the fear of the Gods in them.

Just watching the scores on Wigan TV, looks like we scored some nice tries. But then to let that lead slip is unforgivable.

I live in Hull so went to the game. We were awful, Smith ATM offers nothing - he has no running game, no passing game and his kicking game is woeful. How many times has he put a bomb up this season and it falls 20m short of where it should be landing. Centres are just bash and barge, no guile at all. We are also letting teams wind us up and weak refs like Hicks will fall for it, giving penalties away when we have the ball is unforgivable.MM has been done twice this season for that, really, really dumb.

That guy should be Smith as he offers nothing else to the side.

No idea what you mean. MM should be Smith, Smith should be capt or MM offers nothing?

I seem to remember that Smith's kicking isn't far from Richards in completion, BUT he seems to be scapegoat of the moment on the forums. Wigan have been slow starters for years, every season we see these forums descend into "blame X".

That said, I'm watching the Warrington game at the moment. They are not looking good at all.

What was meant was that Smith should be the experienced pro who'd calm down any young hot-heads around him.

How did Hampshire go?

Teams don't need to wind you up. You resort to roughhouse tactics every time things don't go your way.

That is when the weeks training kicks in.
