its no coincidence that the clubs who supplied the majority of players on Friday are struggling....but it can't be used as an excuse ...can it?

knackered or not it was the same Wigan performance we have seen all year. we have to stop making excuses for this team, they are not playing well and as another poster has put we are deluded if we think we will win anything this year.

It's time the RFL sort out this International fixture as a stand alone one for next season.
But then again, anything to drag the bigger teams down to the levels of the poorer opposition. (not classing Cas in there, more Salford & Wakey).

The Exiles game can not be used as an excuse for how Wigan have been playing. We haven't played well yet this season. The squad are too dependant on Sam but even when he plays we don't know how to close a game. I really can't see whats changed since last season, Is it Fielden?? Gleeson?? or Piggy??? They are the only 3 changes to the team out of the players who would be playing week in week out from last season.

We're there or there abouts, even if we're not playing well. There's more to come from this team.

Not to mention a rather good organising hooker who we are missing a lot.

yeah ive just remembered that

Yep just spoke to someone at the game and all be it I don't like using refs as excuses, this one has got no excuse for the error he made. Should have been our ball on their 20 and instead, even though the ball bounced out on the full 1.5m, touch judge said it didn't and gave head and feed to the men in which they scored. Although it was the touch judge's call, how Bentham hasn't had the balls to over rule it is another joke.

we are there or there abouts due to playing the lower teams. this 'more to come from this team' needs to happen now and I cannot see it as we dont have the personnel currently. We are over half the way through the season. cant see it., hope I am wrong.

PRODUCE IT THEN!

we had bombed 3 trys by then, Wigan have only themselves to blame

not being funny ere but wouldnt really class salford as being poor at the moment they recently beat catalan wakefield and now us , cas have been much the same just recently , do agree with the exiles game needs to be played on a weekend of its own or midweek at least both wigan & wire had the majority of players involved in this game so thats possibly half of each team missing game training all week etc etc

Its the RFL



Wouldn't trust them to cook dinner.

How did the TJ not see a ball that hit the advertising boards on the full? FFS

The fact of it is too many distractions have cost us this season Gleeson leaving, Maguire leaving, Fieldens injury, Richards missing the start of the season and now a lack of an announcement over the New Coach setup. The last one in particular is fast becoming a disgrace its clear to anyone with eyes that its affecting performances Hoffman in particular its been speculated for weeks now an announcement was due yet it has yet to arrive Friday perhaps has affected us today but there was no excuse for throwing away a 22-4 lead with 3 bombed tries two of which were certainties it didn't affect Tommy by all accounts, at best this season we are looking at winning or getting to the Cup Final, Super League at this stage is too big an ask based on current performances with seemingly a lack of killer instinct but of course winning the Cup means beating Warrington which is looking less likely by the game we rely too heavily on Sam & our pack.
