| These kind if games happen and there's nothing that can be taken from the game positive but also negative.
Wakefield caught u on a bad day and they were on form. The next game will show their metal to turn up the next week and playing without the effects the previous result may have.
Not a wane fan I like a physical game but I think he overemphasis this and structured play too much and creativity and playing what's in front of you. There's a balance and in games both quality's are needed
Anyway hope u guys get few players back for our next game

Yep, it explains that Wigan (the club not most of the fans) just can't take a defeat on the chin like every other club manages to do - have to say that video is pathetic and totally lacking dignity

It certainly surprised me that Wigan felt the need to come out and explain things in such depth.
They may throw a few lines in about crediting Wakefield's performance but the fact they've released a video detailing the mitigating circumstances around the defeat does the complete opposite and takes the shine off a great win for them.

Had Wigan won, or the game been a lot closer, that video would never have been made. It's clear someone is trying to save face. I expected better from a club like Wigan. Embarrassing, and totally classless.

I think sometimes you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
From a personal point of view it didn't address the question that if the virus was so widespread why didn't we seek to have the game postponed.

| Totally sour grapes from Wigan addressing their own fans in that matter. How dare they. Of course, it was simply a case of Wigan being awful and Wakefield being amazing, in fact Wakefield would have beaten an NRL all stars team 62-0 too.
Nothing more to see here..

I get your point in the initial sentence. There'd no doubt be fans demanding some sort of answers or explanation after a heavy defeat like that.
But I still feel that Wigan have, perhaps inadvertently I'm not sure, disrespected Wakefield a little bit and put all the focus on the excuses for losing the game.

| There seems to be a lot of self pity in that video, should have kept it behind closed doors, take it on the chin and move on to the next game. If Powell showed the cas players that video I should imagine they would come out with all guns firing for that first 20 mins.

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "As someone who has watched every team that Wane has coached from U16's/U18's/ reserves to first team I can honestly say that yesterday was the most unlike Wane team performance I have ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen one of his teams "throw the towel in" before.
After 20 minutes the game was only 6 - 0 and then came the first interchanges, Mossop and Clubb off replaced by Tautai and Burke. From then on the game just went away from Wigan.
To be fair to Wakefield, they played some great rugby and with the amount of possession they had they took Wigan apart.
With such an inexperienced back line I think Wigan should have gone boring, five drives and a kick and hoped for errors.
I can understand the lack of precision in the attacking side of the game when you are missing four of your biggest metre makers, but that should not transfer to the
defensive/ tackling side of the game.
I hope Radlinski goes in to the young players and reminds them of his first team debut.
On a lighter note, my shower new gel appears to be working. Saints fans who have avoided me for the last three weeks all wanted to talk to me today.'"
Rouges, coming from yourself your comment about a Wigan team throwing the towel in will have had more effect with the watchers from the club than any of the comments from the majority on here.
Why do I say that, because in any so called crisis on here before when posters are going over the top, my self included you have always come across as someone who gives a measured view of the problem of the time.

Your chairman is the whiniest of the lot. The amount of times he's publicly slated referees and your team after bad performances is embarrassing.
Oh and because it seemingly has to be stated in every post relating to yesterday's game:
"Well done to Wakefield, they deserved it"

July 2013 ? Come on; I'm sure if you look harder you will find some more recent whines by our Chairman !!
If you look to the last paragraph it says "The Tigers produced the shock of the Super League season at the weekend as they got the better of Wigan, 18-4, at the JJB Stadium."
I hope its not a portent of things to come for you.

A few of us have said that too. Rads said in his interview that we had been in contact with the RFL and we got dispensation in the salary cap to allow 2 more youngsters to make their debut meaning their wages would now count on the cap. Maybe the RFL wouldn't let us postpone it??

Our chairman more often says "whats on the tin" and won't resort to self pity and produce a "dark video". The RFL should be asking for medical certificates like our game against the Bulls many years ago, that scoreline of 62-0 is very damaging to the image of our sport as was the 75-0 and the 70-0 before it.
.
The dispensation to increase the playing roster should be only given on certificated evidence to the RFL........I hope this has been executed by due process and not by video presentation.
