| Was very concerned when I saw the forecast. No size or power in our forward pack and no real opportunity to promote the ball = a very ineffective team. This weather is almost Wigans kryptonite.
Luke Gale has been great and Leeds have grown in confidence as they've gone ahead. Great aggression from their forwards.

Flower and the much lamented Clubb would have ideal for games like this.

Clubb?????I thought people calling for Flower and Clark to play where pushing it.

| End of sets, Jeez, that was awful from Hastings.
No try, Tommy couldn't take in that terrible pass.

| On a positive note, we’ve been better this second half.

| This Wigan kicking game has got to be one of the worst I've ever seen. In terrible conditions, we are barely challenging them with high balls. The few we put up, no one is even chasing and a decent fullback will always handle a high ball if he's under no pressure at all.

We have but still no real attacking threat. The damage has been done.
Just as I finished writing Hurrell got over, if it wasn’t already it’s game over.
Edit; try disallowed

| On field try? The ref and linesman are completely blind.

Once again, i think Shorrocks has done a *bit* better than most of the forwards, and Bullock has tried hard, but we are still being well out-gunned.

Terrible 1st half. If you're kicking early you have to turn them around not give it to them 40 yards out to run on to

| This isn’t a knee jerk reaction, I’ve tried to get behind Lam as much as possible but he’s proved he’s not a big game coach time and time again. Hoping his contract doesn’t get renewed next season

| Quote: 100% Warrior "Game plan and game management.
Our game plan is the same as it is when it’s a dry track. We’ve not been in their 20mtrs yet! And you’re not sure if we can blame Lam?
The intensity in defence wasn't there from the beginning, poor for a semi and nothing to do with the conditions. Not adjusting to the weather is criminal.
Leeds have been solid but Wigan are brainless.
The flaws in our team are being exposed like the Saints semi last year. Forwards are too small so can't stop the opposition or make yards.
Starting Farrell, Isa and Partington who are all small, Havard is only 19 and O'Loughlin who is 37 was a concern against Hull but we were able to move the ball well to make up for it. In this rain its been a disaster.
Compounding that our halfbacks have no kicking game or game management ability so we can't get out of trouble by flipping field position and we can't put on pressure when we do get good position.
We could be better with better coaching but I think there are some pretty fundamental problems with the team and the players should know to keep it simple in these conditions.
20-0 at half time is not good enough. Losing is one thing, Leeds have done well, but to not even get close is unacceptable.
The only thing I can see saving Lam now is if the pandemic makes recruiting someone else too difficult.
I'm interested in the reaction from the club. We have young forwards so that problem might be fixed with time and we have tried to address it but signing Burgess and Clark hasn't really helped. We need a kicking game we haven't had since Sam left.
I was cautiously optimistic since the Catalans win and you can blame conditions but this really doesn't look like a trophy winning team.

| We've just been completely outplayed. They've dominated us physically, out kicked us and now we have nothing left to offer, no ideas at all, Leeds have done a masterful job of nullifying French and taking away our confidence.

| It’s a sign of the steel that’s been instilled in the club from Maguire and Wane that we’ve stuck at it and are ‘only’ 20 points down. It’s been an utter shambles (like Salford in the play offs) and had we been 50 points behind it wouldn’t have been unkind on us from a territory point of view.
I’ve made my thought clear on Lam many times. The Catalans and Hull performances gave me a bit of hope that he could turn things round but they’re two flaky teams. We have no gears to go through when it gets to a knock out game and have been found out again.
