| Frankly I agree with Pacific.
The quality of this league is dire at the moment and has been sliding that way for a few years.
We're missing far too many quality, experienced players to complain about that performance last night. With the salary cap / our business plan what it is, you can't miss 6 starters and expect a result.

| I don't remember much sympathy from the Wigan fans for us in the grand final a couple of years ago when we lost key players in controversial circumstances and ended up with briers on the wing.

A bit of a "one-eyed view" on things (a little like our Harry Sunderland winner that day).....and we know he he got that don't we?

He might be wrong about the team but I'd say what he suggested is a stronger one than having Lockers at prop and Bateman at 13. I don't see much ball handling skills from Bateman and he seems much more suited to 2nd row and if Lockers is a prop when we already have Clubb, Flower, Tautai, Crosby, Mossop and Sutton (plus Burke if he is now a prop) we have far to much salary cap tied up in props.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Controversial circumstances? Monaghan got injured by ducking into a tackle against Richards' leg
Ratchford got injured by a legal tackle by Hansen, end of.
Briers played fullback not wing.
Westwood DELIBERATELY punched Green in the face while on the floor and fractured his eye socked in the first few seconds!
Delusional.

| This is boring now.
It doesn't matter who was missing the most players. The fact remains that both teams are yet to have fully fit squads this season, meaning rotation is difficult especially over Easter, which is another cause for the injuries suffered during the game.
Yes Wigan were missing more first team players but you can never write Wigan off when they're backs are against the wall. You can only play what's in front of you and on this occasion we got the 2 points, in 4 weeks time hopefully both sides have players back and we can see a cracking game.
What's clear to see though is at full strength we are the two best sides in the competition easily.
Hopefully people can stop arguing now over who's got the busier physio.

| I saw my team beaten by an in-form Warrington. The result would have been more emphatic but for the injury to Sandow and our lads positive response in the second half. I'm very proud of our lads effort but we were second best on the night.

| Hey Pacific, looks like another moral victory today, look how good Wigan are doing since getting rid of Mick turner, and, maybe you should sign Theo fages.
I think that covers all yer threads.

| I am a little disappointed that Mr Pacific has not started a thread about today's game at Wakefield. I think it is highly likely Wigan will make the GF again his year and good chance to win it. However, after today's debacle of wane playing Wigan b and hoping to sneak a win and getting his backside handed to him, I wonder if wane or perhaps more pertinently Lenaghan would have the decency to apologise to the loyal Wigan fans who paid their hard earned to travel and watch today's game. Lenaghan often speaks well about expanding the game and getting more coverage etc, etc. however I don't see how this fits with letting the most high profile club in the game treat a league game as one to sacrifice to save players for later in the season. Appreciate injuries but Wigan have biggest and best squad in comp. Wonder if rfl will dare charge him with bringing game into disrepute?

Post match comments.
The Warriors took to the field without ten first team players and after an illness had forced training to be cancelled this week.
Wakefield took full advantage as they ran in 11 tries to record their best Super League win over the Warriors, 62-0.
Speaking after the game, the Warriors Head Coach said
