Hamlin needs to sort his attitude for my money. Has potential but drops far to much ball and spends the whole game winging at the red and flapping his arms around trying to milk decisions. Annoying...

Bullock ran well tonight but agree. Poor in defence but it mostly looked like poor positioning. Benefit of the doubt for me as he has massive potential I think.

Great work rate too for a big unit.

That call on the Isa drop out incident was appauling. 13-11 with a penalty under the sticks and we would have had a great chance to win it.

Despite being second best all game.


Thaler gave us nothing 12-4 penalty count and at least two of ours we’re on a tackle one.

The “one on one steal” was shocking too. Rules say if more than one player effect a tackle and all but one drop off, it’s still a steal.

Williams was e again he only wakes up with 15 minutes to go

thought you looked proper ordinary tonight. resorted to some pretty shoddy tactics..no surprise there. The shoulder charge on Austin nearly brought you back into it...thankfully we managed to get through with 11 men and staying in 3rd gear. Westwood is a liability. Enjoy your relegation fight with Leeds and Huddersfield.

I’m not sure we watched the same game.

I think Wire always had the measure hence the drop goal... but it looked a huge step up from Wigan this season. That intensity maintained will keep Wigan up but I think top 5 is gone.

I'm finding it hard to be as positive as some, but I guess that's got a lot to do with the base you start from. More energy, yes, and some signs of a better kicking game from Sammut, although one very good tackle didn't make up for several other defensive errors. But my worry is, at no point did I feel like Wigan were going to win that game. Defensively weaker, seemingly unable to prevent offloads despite plenty in the tackle. If this was apparently a step up, we need to step up further if we want to beat Salford.

I would agree with your summary. The forwards need to do their job. Shorrocks in my view deserves a run in the team, he is a very talented guy who has been unlucky with injuries. What I cant understand is Lam's defensive strategy, the Aussies don't defend like we do, this can be evidenced by watching the first two NRL games this year.

He was made to look rubbish again tonight by the opposition halves he couldn't even get the better of a back row forward against London

we look unfitter than years gone by and not as strong, losing a lot of collision.

We deserved and got nothing. In reality, Warrington could and probably should have been out of sight at half time. They played well for 80 mins whereas be played well for about 8 mins. I don't care how well they have trained, we haven't had an 80 minute performance from them yet all season. I don't care if there is a new coach or not and they are trying to adapt to what he wants. At some point personal pride must creep in and players need to stand up and say to themselves @='we aren't doing enough or trying hard enough' Isa's sin bin was a joke but i thought Bullock should have had 10 mins for the high shot. It was high with a run up. Lockers not so much, it was just a run of the mill high shot, he reached for the player rather than charged in, happens in every game to teams. Westwood is probably the biggest bully i have ever sen on a rugby field. Always goes for the little man. I would suggest he is a big soft melt who is afraid to take a big man on because he knows he would get floored. Fanny.

Hardaker was superb for a team that was so bad and i thought Blake Austin showed glimpses of elite class. His movement alone is enough to worry the defenders, that is before he starts throwing passes and dummies. He is going to get better too. Warrington fell apart when he went off and that is when we scored our tries. Food for thought for Warrington there. Are they really as good as they think? Neutralise that threat and they are there for the taking. Just not by us

To me that’s all about enthusiasm and energy in the sense of being switched on rather then fitness. I remember commenting last season when things weren’t going well about how our contact wasn’t good enough and how we were dropping off tackles and couldn’t cope with bigger forwards but when the team found its confidence and switched on for that final run in, the players were defending for their lives.

I’d really worry if we were blowing at the end of games but we’ve finished games ok. It’s the starts and some bits in between where we’re struggling IMO. A settled team wouldn’t go amiss either.

maybe your right, just saw a lot of walking yesterday after 50 minutes, and the penalties for not square on lying in the ruck came from losing collision
