Terry Albert strikes again. We played poorly, Warrington played well, Albert helped flatter the scoreline. The man missed so much it's beyond belief.

I thought we looked totally uninterested in attack today & warringtons defence was as best as it can be, only gonna end up with one result there!

The lack of organisation was shocking, we missed Deacon big time. But the most disappointing part was that no one looked like they were up for it. Wire were good, we were terrible

No argument with the result. Wire where the better team in every department. I feel sorry for charnley as his confidence will no doubt be shot after that. Warrington used the right tactics and played it all down his side and he couldn't handle it. Finch showed good glimpses but clearly wasn't ready for such a big game, but what other option did we have?.... We looked like we had no options tonight at times and didn't know what to do, far to much one out rugby against a great pack. We where always up against it with the squad we had and the result was to be expected. Give time for us to get a full squad back and hopefully for players like lima and finch to get up to speed and we will be back where we should be.

Alibert was a joke to rugby league, its shocking how little control he has over a game and how many errors he seems to make, However as other people have stated, we would have lost regardless of who reffed. But it still can't have looked good for the sport on tv.

23 - 20 - 4 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



Very flat performance, no zip or enthusiasm about it. The defensive line hung back giving them easy yards all night, maybe a hangover from last week's big effort? Clueless in attack, no dummy runners, no support for offloads and the attacking kicks were garbage. The only positive is that was nothing like the Wigan performance we normally get.

Credit to the Wolfs though, a professional performance and deserved win.

Even before I hit the floor I thought I'd broken my jaw, but the cheekbone was so depressed I couldn't move it Shaun Edwards Leeds Fan on Mobile phone at Headingley said: "Alright mate it's only me, no I'm just ringing to say there's thousands of Wigan Fans here.

I'm not sure there are any redeeming features from that performance. Undoubtedly the worst of the Maguire reign. Everything just seemed to be off. The best defence in SL wouldn't expect to be conceding tries like the first two. I'm going to watch the game back now just to believe how many missed tackles, poor passes, knock ons and dropped balls I saw tonight.
Alibert is truly awful, neigh, useless. Quite how he gets to referee any game let alone ones of the stature of a world club challenge or Wigan V. Warrington. Don't get me wrong I Don't think the result in either match would have been different. The drop out that needed Bentham to over rule him and the use of the screen for wires obvious no try proves his incompetence.
Finally, Warrington were very good and out played us in every department. I didn't think there was anything to split us last year but at the moment they've got the edge.

It would have been a MUCH closer game. The Hoffman try, the Hoffman strip, the professional foul on Leuluai (I think), and on Goulding. The list goes on. He's a clown. Like the Dragons, Warrington took full advantage of it.

Forgot to say in my Albert rant surely his appointment and continued use despite such poor performances confirms his existence is just tokenism to have a French ref in SL.

We were outplayed by a side in much better form tonight and they're looking good. We have plenty of work to do especially with the ball as I don't think we've hit top gear in that department in any game so far but it'll come as we get some settled combinations and get some of our big game players back. I have no worries about us going forward and as dissapointing as it is to lose you don't win any trophies in March.

One thing is for sure though and thats that Wire will be there at the business end of the season and it will take a good side to beat them(as it will take a good side to beat us come sept/oct).

No arguements with the result tonight. The better team won. We lost it in the forwards for my money. They out muscled us up front. I said before the game we had to match them down the middle and defend well out wide. We lost the middle and they targeted young kids. They played the perfect tactics tonight.

It's a long season though. A defeat like that re-focuses everyone. We'll meet them another couple of times this season I'm sure and we'll be better.

Well played wire

Outplayed in all departments, i wouldnt say any performance was shocking it was just poor across the board. The score could have been higher against us easily, which is rather worrying.

Additionally Our home form is very worrying, weve not had a really strong performance at home against a good side since Noble left

We look a totally different side at home to away don't we and it's something we could do with addressing as our winning run away from home won't last forever.

Quote: P-J "It would have been a MUCH closer game. The Hoffman try'"


what? that was the video ref, he clearly had to go upstairs with it. was clearly a knock on, just a question of who to give the ball to. christ, even clarkey wasn't complaining with the decision. the strip was horrible but all referees get some of those wrong week in week out.

someone mentioned the first disallowed try, replays showed it was a good decision. finch's try might well have been a knock on, but i don't think the camera angles would have been good enough to overturn it, and i certainly don't begrudge him for making the quick, confident decision.

he did make a really bad string of errors around the 55-60 minute mark (nearly all against wigan) but up until then it was a pretty competent display i thought.

Completely outplayed in every department by a team who on that performance look like the champions elect. Only consolation is that it's early doors, we've got players to come back and a lot can change between now and October.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



Wore were by far the better side tonight and thoroughly deserved their win. We defended well enough in the first half but they spent a lot of tome on out=r line and it took a lot of juice out of our tank.

Then add to that our very bad mistakes on attack in those first 10 minutes of the second half and the result was inevitable. 100% for effort but 50% for composure.
