| Tbf tommy was on one leg for most of the game and still had the most line breaks in a Wigan top!
Our backing up when breaks were made was almost none existant tonight! Tommy made a few big 'game changing' plays but the lack of support was the difference between converting them and winning and it just being another break and offload.
For me the only player who let us down tonight was Roberts. He cost us one try by poor defending and I think a winger with as many NRL tries as him should have made a far better effort late in the game when lockers gave him space 2 go for the corner flag!

Joel Tomkins missed a far worse hit on Eastmond for mine.

It was a bad tackle but Roberts defensive positioning for their last try was poor at best!
Yes you can pick faults with Joel and even Prescott but at the end of the day they still aren't the finished articles & Roberts is and I'd expect more from a guy with his rep both in attack and defence.
Neither Joel or Prescott or Sam were starters at the begining of the season which shows there level in the team.

Though Roberts did a lot right tonight to be honest, missed a bad one but saved us a couple of times, cant pick fault really with anyone, but i will say not being the finished article in my opinion is not an excuse they are SL players and should be judged just as that.
In my opinion lack of opinions cost us.

IMO Roberts cost us a try and didn't make enough of a good opportunity to score in the corner and little things like that are the difference between a win and loss in close games like this.
I'd expect more from him but I'm also willing to give him some more time yet as he has improved as the season has gone on and has shown enough of a spark to warrent it.

not sure how he could have done more to score in the corner, Wellens may be slow but positionally at this level he is good and pulled off a cracking tackle.
Richards had a far clearer opportunity but again it was a tough one and made less of it.

He is a Warrington lad get your parochial blinkers off!

| Ahh, Roberts to blame, thats suprising.
Now, is he worth a 4 year contract is a different debate, and how the hell did he get such a deal when the norm under IL seems to be 1 year with a 2nd year option in our favour.
Joel Tomkins was the villian tonight, in the first 5 and last 5 minutes, but he won't get the blame because he isn't Australian.

Roberts was cack tonight and the 4 year deal is ridiculous, Joel made the same mistake that he did a few weeks ago and cost us the game tonight, im sure the new coach will address these issues.

I do look forward to seeing how Joel Tomkins progresses under a new coach, personally think he has bags of ability but makes some poor decisions and basic errors, a new man may just be the coach to progress him as a player.

Joel has all the abilty to be one of the top running forwards in the game but he as a lot of other players haven't progressed under BN.
