I think a bit of emotional intelligence is needed here and certainly not the time to throw the toys out of the pram as you know some will do. I was pleased with how the fans generally got behind the team - particularly in the second half. The lads have been brilliant over the last year and won every trophy you can win so they deserve support now we're having a blip.

It was a poor performance - it was never going to be pretty tonight but if we were going to have a chance we needed to be very solid and keep errors to a minimum. We did the opposite of that right from the start with the Byrne error and it was an uphill struggle from that point.

Warrington did a good job of exposing Farrimond who had a very tough night that he'll learn from. With French and Keighran out and Nsemba/Farrimond inexperienced we were very vulnerable there.

The injury to O'Neill is rough news - looks like it's Leeming and Forber going forward. We'll have to see if we can scrape enough wins to stay in the top 2 fight before Field and French come back but ultimately it's all about timing and who gets into the playoffs with the fittest squad and in the best form.

Tbf, I don't think Byrne did much wrong after that initial drop. Except he didn't play big minutes, but that's not down to him.

Masters of our own downfall again (as we were last week), all Wire tries down to Wigan mistakes, either directly or the subsequent set:

Byrne drops ball first run - Wire Try.
Eckersley fails to catch bomb and hits it for drop out - Wire Try.
Interception pass x 2 - Wire Tries.
Junior drops play the ball - Wire Try.

All Hull FC tries came off our errors last week and we got punished.

We didnt play our game tonight from minute one was a replica of Hull FC away but I won’t loose faith think we string a few home wins we’ll sail through until we get players back. Name a pack that would win with first choice centre, Fb and stand off and 2nd choice hooker out (also lost our first choice) was weird around the 65 min mark the wire fans were quiet (even though they’d won) and were out sang by the home fans

Lack of resilience in the team at the minute when almost every error is punished. It’s ok saying Farrimond will learn, he won’t. He’s going to be a target his entire career because of his size so it’s down to those round him to do a job in defence because he won’t be in the side for his defensive efforts. I’m disappointed we don’t seem to trust him to do anything with the ball though. Pointless playing him if we don’t allow him to showcase what he’s shown to get to this level.

I said to my missus that we’d lose after watching the teams warm up. Warrington look slick working through their drills . We dropped the ball at least four times just doing simple up and down unopposed passing drills . Byrne was one of the culprits who dropped the ball and look how he started the game . Some of the warm up passing and tip ons were awful , we were just going through the motions . Warrington looked deadly serious . Fail to prepare , prepare to fail

Fickle fans come out when we loose. Not playing our best atm but can turn it around and there has been plenty of times when we’ve turned it around. Pretty sure Warrington were favourites to win the Cc final as well. Still plenty you time to the play offs

We're having one of those spells that we have and we'll be ok. The injury to O'Neill is the most concerning aspect of tonight. Take that away and I'm not worried in the slightest about how the rest of the season plays out. This wobble will bring everyone right back down to earth and will sharpen the focus and once we play through it, we will benefit from it IMO and I back us to go and finish the season on a high.

It’s so easy for everyone to overreact to that performance. It was poor, but there were a few moments which just didn’t quite go our way, the first interception in particular. We’ll be fine, trust Peet to make sure this is only a dip.

Great night for Wire, played really well and no doubt given them a massive confidence boost for the rest of the season after Wembley. Lindop looks a very bright prospect.

Couple of worrying signs from some players. Byrne again, first play of the game, not good enough. Sam Walters looks a completely different player. Soft defence, sloppy and poor skill. Felt for Farrimond tonight, probably needs taking out the firing line for a game or two now just to give him a break. Hopefully Brads injury isn’t as bad as sounds/looked. Fingers crossed for him.

First and foremost let’s congratulate Wire they were excellent tonight, two of our old boys were outstanding- Williams and Powell. Our performance fell well short of what is expected however, no pots were handed out. We need to get back to basics and the coaching team need to earn their money and learn from their mistakes, selection and the game plan need to improve. I am confident that when it comes to the crunch we will be the team to beat.

I don't think it's a coincidence our 2 worst performances have been the 2 weeks the team hasn't trained on Robin Park because of the gigs.

Woeful ! Bloody woeful. Our forwards didn't 'fire' . Our backs miss French and Field and their pace, like a desert misses the rain.

Glad somebody else has mentioned Walters. I have been waiting for him to produce thinking he needed a bit of time but he has been absolutely rancid. No go forward and is a turnstile in defence. Don't know if its his attitude or he is just rubbish but he hasn't produced anything. Byrne I have finally lost patience with. Too many brain farts and errors. Time to cut him loose. Not a massive fan of Keighran (I know he didn't play) and Miski has been poor recently. These lads need to step up and help the young lads out. Yes we need bodies back but there was no excuse for that last night. I expected a defeat but not in that manner. Finally, congratulations to Wire, I thought they were magnificent and Lindop look ls an absolute star in the making. Though no trophies were handed out and we have time yet to turn it around. But we will have to do it without O'Neill. Hope Forber is up to the job, this is his chance to push Leeming

All these signings were made for this year everyone in the RL media was fawning over haven’t really worked out bar Thomson of course.

Keighran - been pretty average

Walters - limited game time but looked really poor (not a backrower?)

Leeming - poor imo, he’ll be a target in defence all season with Brad out.

Eseh and Chan - not looked good on loan at struggling clubs imo.

Obviously new signings need time and sometimes struggle in their first year but I’m glass half empty of last night.

Firstly Wire look the real deal, good mix of established stars and they are finally giving the youth a go and are reaping the benefits. Yates was immense last night and I’m sure Bateman will add something, could finally be their year?!

On us the only long term issue is the O’Neill potential ACL, he’s in our top 5 most important players and the best 9 in the comp.

Think we need to look rethink the young lads player as they seemed to really hit us down Farrimonds side, Juniors been out of sorts for weeks too and Eckerlsey doesn’t look to have the passing game currently to be a modern day FB.

Not that it would have made a difference last night but this 4 props on the bench thing needs to stop, I know he’s not the best but surely the option of Hampshire on the bench incase of injury is better than 10 mins of Harvie Hill.
