Had the team worked their booty off for the games that were winnable we would have been in the top 8, so putting effort into a game that was ultimately unwinnable IMO should not be ample reason to forget what has gone on before.
We shouldn't be praising the players for today's performance, we should be asking them why it wasn't there for the previous two games against teams who are at our level.
I said at the start of the season that I thought this squad had enough ability in it to at least compete for the top 8 and possibly the top 6 depending on a couple of other teams, I stand by that opinion, and as such think that this season has been blown for reasons not known to most of us, say what you want but today's performance proves my point and yet some fans are happy to come away from a game losing without questioning why a performance of today's quality that would have beaten most teams in the league has been missing for most of the season and against teams that are far more beatable than Wigan.

Lyne plays on Cockaynes side , no tries conceded today in Foxies corner.

Totally agree.

Hopefully this performance will illustrate that we do have good back up players to step in when regulars are injured. Wigan had a few missing and i'm sure this will be what people will be focusing on with such a close scoreline. On today's performance, would put Walshaw in front of Lynne. With Collis and Walshaw we have two strong centres. The big thing that surprised me today, was the mighty Wigan army being very covert until the last ten minutes.

Bit disappointed that Shaun wane finds the need to mention that we were allowed to slow the "play the ball" down when he watches o'laughlin & mcillorum do that every week.

Its hard to argue with any of that tbf Catnap.

I agree. Halibut doesn't inspire confidence. Having said that I have been to games and thought he had got things completely wrong but then thought differently when I have looked at the game on TV.

It looked short from where I was at the other end of the ground!

Not really a suprise is it, he taught ST how to whinge.

The disallowed try under the sticks in the first half from Wigan, got called for a knock on, looked ok to me.

The score flattered us today. Very impressed with Wakefields efforts. Cant agree with the ref analysis though. Thought we got penalised frequently for holding down but Wakefield were allowed to get away with it but Alibert is always a nightmare and completely clueless and its a point that is always open to opinion. My friend is a Wakey fan and couldnt make the game and listened on the radio and he said the feeling he got was that Wigan got a rough deal with the ref from the commentary. But anyway, congratulations on a spirited performance. You made us look very ordinary today. Youd have killed Cas last week playing like that.

Well thats all part and parcel of supporting this club, we don't know whats coming next.



Alibert is always a nightmare and completely clueless how true.

What do you expect when we 'make' all the wigan fans down the side (yes that old chestnut) where the can help a clueless ref make all the decisions.

The bit that riled me was when Amor knocked on and if the away fans hadn't have pointed it out we might have got away with it. They also helped Sir Sam Tomkins every time he needed another penalty.
