| I still think, and have (along with quite a few others) that out biggest issue is size, or rather lack off. That’s where we lost the game tonight, they were simply bigger and stronger and their backs played off it.
Our forwards didn’t make metres, were very efficiently slowed down so unable to play the ball quickly leaving the backs without space. Wakefield’s forward dominance made defence relatively easy for them.

But this was identified and spoken about four years ago post WCC lost against Sydney Roosters. Nothing's been done about it, in fact it seems the policy is to recruit (and extend contracts of) smaller more mobile forwards since then.

It seems that way which has baffled me for quite some time. Hopefully once a new coach is appointed that will be addressed.

| Quote secondstanza="secondstanza"
I'm not going to blame the referee, didn't get much wrong but the Tommy sin binning was baffling. He made a legal tackle, off the ball but because it was a big hit and hurt the guy it's a yellow card? That's total crap and indeed when Fifita tackled Bateman (?) off the ball it was just a penalty.'"
I have to admit I’m am a bit bemused by that one. I think he got a yellow as a result of the uproar from the tackle the Hull player made a few weeks back. If the powers that be determine that a legal challenge (and by that I mean not high/not a shoulder charge etc) but on a player who never got the ball is a sin bin offence then i don’t have a problem with that however Fifita should have got the same. In fact Fifita was far worse as the ball was nowhere near Bateman, Tommy just took the little dummy.

And if it doesn't?
Sometimes a good sense of humour is all that's left. Seriously, we are still in a strong second place with plenty to play for. We have obvious problems but the club has to find a way to take pressure off the players. There's no slump like a Wigan slump.

I’ll just say I was joking
Seriously though, I’m pretty confident we can give it a crack. We haven’t become a bad side in three weeks and the players are clearly reeling from the Wane news. I’ve read a few comments about them not wanting to play for him anymore and I sense that couldn’t be further from the truth. I think the players want to play for him too much and are sulking at him leaving.
Things could get worse before they get better but they will get better and I’m backing the squad to give Wane the end to his Wigan career I think he deserves.

| On a positive note (and to try and put some balance in) I thought Mullen showed up well - certainly didn't let anyone down.

Very well I thought and it’s sadly been lost a little due to the result. He looks very very confident and I’d love to see him in a more involved position to see what he’s made of.
