I wouldn't get too concerned.

Fact of the matter is wigan hudds warrington and leeds are all very evenly matched (ignoring the semantics of their position in the top 4 which is down to various circumstances - injuries, form, inconsistent reffing decisions) and in a play off environment it will be anybodys game. Between now and october it's really about making sure you get the best 17 as fit as possible and you get into the right mentality and structures for the playoffs.

I wondered who'd be the first to come out with a comment like that. Soundly beaten, yes. Disgrace is simply out of order. You obviously have no appreciation what these blokes put themselves through just to get on a rugby pitch. 4 days after the most intense game of the season, a fair number of injuries, a half back who hasn't played for a couple of months and an ex RU player who has never played a competitive game of RL before it was always going to be a tough match.

There is no doubt there are many things we could have done better, disgrace implies lack of effort. No team coached by Wane can fairly be accused of that.

Can't back it up is usually a claim of Rouges, apparently.
You must have a really old team like us?

I would hope that it was a lack of effort, because if that was them putting effort in, god help us.

Common sense prevails

Excuses excuses excuses. Im sure Wigan fans are above the rest of us mortals and will admit that they were well beaten?

2008 L 34-4 to Huddersfield

What I've noticed this season is it is the Yorkshire sides who we can't perform well against, Wakefield outplayed us with 12 men at times at DW and away were unlucky not to win. Hudds and Leeds both beat us away and yet to play at DW hopefully we turn it around by then. Chase best out there tonight ran the game for them.

A newcomer to the wigan site?

I wonder why?



Im a newcomer generally....but either way a wigan loss is always nice!

My team have done ok in recent years, so no need for me to "hide".

Trying to find the reason why we played tonight and not Sunday, a la Warrington.
IL? Wane? RFL? Whelan? answer please.
Because in anybody's book it was a bloody stupid decision.

Was told castle ford wouldn't agree to play Sunday so we had to stick with friday ,as its our home night

We looked knackered, credit to cas that's the best I've seen them play - although why they had a group picture with their fans in the background at the end of the match ill never know? Made them look like an amateur team coming over and playing in the biggest game of their career, surely it can't have been that big of a deal?

Blake Green and Pat Richards were just awful worst game I've ever seen from both of them. Thought Powell had a decent debut, roll on next week.

A la Warrington? We are away to Bradford who play their home games on a Sunday. You were the home team tonight who pay your home games on a Friday because Whelan tells you to during the football season.
You had plenty of notice of our game on Monday. It's poor management at the upper level.
