It sadly looked that way.

We should have been more then 20 points up in the first half tbh and I saw no reason why the players didn't want to come out and continue that sort of form in the 2nd but they really looked like they'd moved on to next week 40 minutes too soon.

It's a real shame to lose that 100% record like that tonight but aslong as they learn from it we'll be fine.

Games gone now, bring on next Friday.

I think that Wigan will be up there with the best this season....however I just love to see a fightback...fair play to Bradford...they were nailed on for a hammering at half time.
It just goes to show what spirit can do.

Hardly ripped us to pieces, simply out desired us in the second half and did the basics right - coupled with a few key plays that caught us flat footed. Was our game in the bag and we let it slip, hopefully we'll learn from it. All credit to bradford for sticking with it and taking the win.

1- Roberts - Very good again, just the last mistake ended up in a try for Bradford.

2- Goulding - Apart from the try ok, drop for next week.

3 - Gleeson - Tried hard as always, not a good winger outside him to create for

4 - Carmont - Doing well until injury, we really missed him

5- Richards - Played well as always IMO

6- S.Tomkins - Tried hard but kicks were off the boil tonight

7- Leulaui - Ineffective at 9 tonight

8- Fielden -Apart from the 2 missed tackles which Langley went 20 yards and the one which let in the last try I thought he played well.

9- Riddell - We are better going forward with Riddell at 9 but his defence is rubbish, Steve Brookstein has done bigger hits.

10- Coley - Quality, maybe gives away the odd penalty but other than that he will be playing for England if he carries on.

11- Hansen - Good steay performance as always

12- J.Tomkins - Quality at 12, will be England 12 if he carries on.

13- O'Loughlin - Good steady performance as always.

14- Feka - Needs to run from deeper and more game time

15- Deacon - Did ok and tried hard, should have been kicking instead of Sam IMO

16- Bailey - Off the pace, dropped for Mossop next week.

17- O'Carroll - Good perfomance, massive heart and desire.

Naive isn't the word, is. It was vintage Noble, one out, rugby in the second half. Our forwards were running into a brick wall because we refused to get it out wide.

Unbelievably disappointed in last night's display. We had Bradford by the scruff of the neck and we took our foot off the gas and then panicked.

Best post ever?

Vintage Noble:

13/10/01 - Super League Grand Final (Old Trafford)
Wigan Warriors - Won 37-6 (Att: 60,164)

Well Maguire said he was, so id maybe say on this occasion David that you are wrong.
