Not a bad home record for a start!

Ey?? No chance.

We should have won with amount of possession we had particularly in the first but to be fair to Saints their defence was excellent and if I was a Saints I would have ecstatic with the result last night.
Not sure how this defeat will affect us. Based on recent performances that is probably as good as our forwards are going to be. Moral would have been hit as to lose so late in the game must be as SW stated a ball breaker.
This is now a good measure of how good a manager SW really is or not. He has turn around the team in quick fashion and lift their moral to believe we can still get to the GF.
I personally saw several reasons to believe we could turn it around however, I have this nagging feeling that our inability to turn pressure into points could come back to haunt us again. I sincerely hope that SW has got that magic touch and finds the key to unlocking disciplined defences that Saints and Huddersfield seem to have. I have questioned the teams passion a few times this season last night demonstrated that there is plenty of it we just need a little more guile near the line to accompany it.
Hopefully Cas have won their GF by beating Leeds and take their foot off the gas to enable us to win without too many squeaky bum times.
Like many people I think that anyone of the top four can win the GF but the Huddersfield and Saints players will probably have a more confidence than their Leeds and Wigan counterparts.

If we win and Hudds win it will be Wigan v Leeds in the semi unless Saints somehow manage to lose against Wire.

And, y'know, for all the pessimism we hear, it's a good thing for the game that it's a genuine four-horse race.

That tackle on Gildart (who again had a decent game, and attacked and defended well) by Makinson did look crucial.

It was thrown behind the halfway line and caught in front of it.

Miles forward.

In which case 90% of passes are forwards.

Look up momentum, try jumping backwards off a moving car. I would put money on you not ending up behind were you started.

Physics 101.

I've taught in Wigan schools. Physics isn't their strong point.

Urchins.

Seen them given, seen them not. It was a close thing, but the fact that it was on a line on the pitch probably helped with the decision. You'd be a bit cheesed off if that decision had cost the game.

When you get to this stage of the season the matches seem to be more intense, but how much of that is the refs not wanting to give loads of penalties? The 10m was short for both sides and virtually every other tackle in the last 5-10 minutes (from both teams) could have been penalised for messing about. A few more penalties early on would have opened things up
