That's a valid point re. Goulding. I'm not blaming him per se, but to lose our left wing attack at the last second, which is basically what happened - Carmont and Richards are a wing partnership that much better teams than Bradford have struggled to contain - was bound to have an impact.

That said, I still think a lot of players coughed up far too many errors. They made 12 journeymen (at best) look good.

Why??

he did have a bit of a brain storm coming out of the line but in general was impressed with him.

Are you serious? Those two passes for Pat's tries were as good as any centre will produce.

Silver lining on today's grey cloud of a performance is that hopefully we will go into the Hull KR game sharper than we would had we won today 40-50+

A rubbish and amateurish performance. If professional players can't cope with the wind when a man up for the majority of the game they're in the wrong job. For most of the 2nd half it looked like we were the team with 12 men. We made a very, very poor team look good.

Awful.

We were very lethargic today.

We did this last year at times. Just a poor performance. I'm not overly worried.

Here's hoping.

Madge and Waney won't have been impressed, so the lads are in for a tougher week than they might have been expecting.

Empty ground apart from Wigan fans, very windy, Pat's first touchdown summed it up, when he lost the ball, anyway in the fridge on Monday.

No strike.
Which makes sense if you look at the team. Two second rowers playing in the centres after Pat went to fb.
Without Sam, Carmont and Pat out of position we have no outside strike.
Goulding is defensively suspect, and hit and miss going forward, Joel is still learning the ropes which gives us little strike. Charnley was isolated on the wing and Pat was at fb.

We had the direction with Finch and Deacon but no outside pace.

And I know I'll get slaughtered for this (which I don't care about) but McM isn't a good 9. So lacking in creativity and movement. Never gets the team moving off the front foot. Defensively great, but what good is that when you're not doing a good job as an attacking 9. Once again I feel we miss Piggy.

Today was a reflect of the future without Carmont. Another centre is a must.

really really frustrating game i thought . way too many errors and stupid penalties

Poor performance again today, not got the 6 7+9 right was badly missing Carmont + Gleeson!! we need a top class centre urgently Mr Lenegan
