Why we didnt put Bailey in the centre and leave Joel in place was confusing for me.

Teams looking to win the title don't generally throw away 20 point leads. I can't ever remember leeds or saints doing that in the last 4 years.

The structures in place and coach reacting correctly to situations should prevent that.

Some tough games coming up for wigan and will be interesting to see how you fare.

Bailey I feel is running in old legs, and his injury has not helped, he has lost significant mobility. The way Orfrod went through him summed his performance up tonight.

I agree, which is why leaving him centre field seemed odd to me, I dont remember him taking the ball in.

I would rather have him in the middle than being exposed to the pace men on the outside.

Chris Nero & Paul Sykes? Pace?

I disagree

For me, it took away from Joels game and left us exposed in the middle.

Why was Prescott and Mossop dropped for this match they did nothing wrong last week against Catalan.

Feka did less than 20 mins again - Pathetic.

The quicker McIlorum returns from injury to take over from Riddell the better.

We seemed to be obsessed with getting the ball to Pat Richards wing in the second half. I don't think Gleeson and Goulding touched the ball more than twice in the second half because of this.

Can't believe it!
How can we let Bradford come back like that after the way we played at Warrington the other week?....Badtimes!

we lacked composure big style tonight, they scored 4 tries from 4 chances, we should have been out of sight in the first half, we scored 4 tries but missed a few more great chances through lack of composure. we have had a decent start to the season but the silly handling errors and giving away needless penalties are still there from previous seasons.

They weren't dropped. Mossop has played on pain killing injections and only played last week because Hansen was injured. Feka didn't play last week because Maguire is rotating the players (the talk about Feka being dropped last week is wrong IMO).



McIllorum would suit the way Maguire has the team playing the game but he needs to improve certain areas of his game such as his passing off the deck. I thnk he is great prospect though and I hope he gets his chance.

basically, in the 2nd half we wer e and bradford absolutely ripped us to pieces

I really do not think they did, we simply failed to react to 3 key plays which were easily preventable.

you could tell as soon as the second half started that bradford started playing much better!

you could tell by the way they wer running with the ball! they were running as if they actually wanted to break our line and score!

where as we just wanted to let the clock run out
