| Shocking in attack, ok at best in defence, no creativity.

Where do you draw the line between an ineffective attack and a suberb defensive effort?'"
Both sides defended really well.
In the end the game was determined by who ever conceded the least penalties.

I think that's a fair assessment, and we were lucky not to concede more with all the forward passes that Ridell threw.

How didn't the touch judges not pick up on that one? What do they actually do? Even though it went for us today it was still a dire decision

| Think the penalty count did for you. How Thaler missed all your forward passes I have not got a clue!

| Wigan didnt lack any passion tonight, the game come down to field position and Warrington in the second half had more chances close to the Wigan line and took them. Both teams defences were on top but i do have to say Riddell is shocking and totally overweight (stating the obvious but he's taking the biscuit)

| Wire defended brilliantly tonight, I've got no problem saying that. But they were terrible in attack (nearly as bad as us!). They had all of the territory in the first half but couldn't finish.
I still can't understand how we lost that game. Thrownaway.com

Our defence was fantastic tonight but as you say our attack leaves alot to be desired. Has been the same for a while. The amount of times we camp on opposition lines and can't seem to put a move on that breaks them down.
Thought the key tonight (apart from the stupid penalties) was our forwards. Morley and Carvell must be the leagues 2 most outstanding props.

It was shocking. I was embarrassed.

I agree shocking signing and Roberts has not done much either, I cannot actually say so far that we have improved with our signings this season. Has Roberts done anything Colbon could not of done, really.

| Truely awful game by 2 average sides tonight.
We can't do any sort of basics like simple catching, kicking, not giving pens away etc etc and it's getting beyond a joke.
Wire were almost as bad.

| I stand to be corrected when I watch the re-run but I thought it was a blood and thunder game which lacked any real quality.
We never looked liked scoring for 65 minutes of the game and once again when when a side puts a bit of pressure on us the bad habits such as penalties and errors come to the fore.

Depressing isn't it. It's a confusing mixture of emotions after a game like that tonight

Agreed. Wire were frustrating at times with dropping a the ball although on the odd occasion there might have been a hand in there .
I think the defensive effort in the first 8 minutes gave wire confidence and put Wigans heads down a bit. That, along with home advantage and the low penalty count mentioned sealed a tight game.
No need for Wigan fans to be dispondent, equally no need for Wire fans to be getting too exited.
