| In recent seasons to come away from Wigan with defeat of 12 points would have been known as a moral victory, however missing out with the rub of the green for what could have been 4 Tries is disappointing. From behind the posts I thought all 3 of BJBs opportunities looked good and Finnys effort looked good but there were lots of players in close proximity. A good effort by all the team lead by Danny Kirmond and a great seasonal debut by Tyler Randall.

Finn’s was a definite obstruction, and BJB’s first looked fine to me. Not sure about the other.

| Like I wrote it looked a bit congested for Finny, but the 2 passes BJB received didnt look forward, and the pass where he kicked through the whistle seemed to come late. Also not going on about it much more but the ref blew up straight away when they lost the ball and Grix & Kirmond picked up with the line open.

| I thought we commanded the first 25 minutes but then lost intensity and gifted them a soft try when BJB flew in and unnecessarily left his wing unattended for a walk in try. We still managed to get the ascendancy back and take a deserved half time lead. Kendall gave us just about naff all. Holding down in the tackle was reffed by the crowd and it appeared one rule for them and another for us. I will need to see the replay for the BJB disallowed try. Looked level but end on you can't be sure. It was a tough call though as I have seen dozens of tries like that go unchallenged over the last 10 years. The 2nd BJB forward pass incident did not look forward at all and I would be very interested to see that one.
Overall, I would say first half spot on, second half we had a very bad opening 20 with completions and in the end it told. Kendall made it worse but Wigan probably deserved it though more like by 6 than 12. A great effort by the lads I thought. I overheard a couple of Wiganers chatting as I walked back to the car "They're a good side now, you know. That's a good 2 points. They pass it around lovely". Not bad to hear from the opposition fans

| I thought after the first 20 minutes Wigan were on top. They were the better side. The halftime score was about right but second half I thought we were quite poor in our execution and discipline. Wigan were smarter around the ruck and I also thought they made metres down the middle with more ease than us. There were some real easy scores for Wigan where they didn't have to work particularly hard which was disappointing. The 3rd Burgess one was a shocker. Overall, the effort from the team was great but second half Trinity were just too sloppy and you can't gift teams like Wigan that kind of field position as they will put points on you.
BJB, Randell and Lyne did very well.

| Quote FIL="FIL"Very little post-match reaction on here ??
As previously stated, we couldn't get today due to mothers day commitments, but did manage to listen to the first half on rhubarb radio then got twitter updates from youngest daughter's BF throughout second half.
So what was the overall consensus ???
Was the scoreline a true reflection of the game, or were we badly done to with the disallowed tries ??'"
Hope it was okay. I landed at Manchester Airport from Dublin at 1.45pm after a half hour delay. The train I had booked from Manchester to Wigan was cancelled and had to get a 60 quid taxi from the airport direct to the stadium to make the game on time. The main broadcaster, Ben, who had all the equipment was stuck at Manchester Piccadilly because of that protest that occurred and couldn't get a train to Wigan so I literally had to do the commentary by myself from a mobile phone an hour after landing from a stag weekend in Dublin. Hope it sounded alright for people.

| The 3rd try by Burgess was a shocker to give away and a real gamebreaker.

| Im a Wigan fan and to me it just shows how bias one eyed including my self we are. The talk during and after the game from us was just the same ... BJB second try was forwards Im sat on side across from it. Escarre was onside, the ref was crap and if he had not given so much ball to you with pens we would have won with more. Talking to friends who sit in East stand on 20 nearest away end(sidet)they said BJB call was right but they would like me thier specs are cherry n white tinted.
Good luck for rest of the season.

| Gutted with the loss, although there is no disgrace in losing at Wigan.
The best team won but, the 2 forward pass calls on BJB looked very harsh and the ref calls for holding down were just bizarre, especially with the messing around at the ruck from the Cherry and Whites.
Kendal looked out of his depth in the second half and following the injury to Grix, the head sot + follow up deserved 10 minutes.
As I say, the best team won but, with Tomkins and O Loughlin "assisting" the ref, we were always up against it.

This was very irritating. There was a lot of chat from these 2 towards the ref. It's time they started binning layers who want to chelp at every decision. Tomkins was embarrassing at points today and he is a quality player.

Not on our 2nd half performance mate. We were OK 1st half but in the 2nd half Salford were allowed to slow things down at the play the ball. Wigan are experts at this so I think we'll struggle next week but hopefully they'll swell the attendance as very few from Salford came today. I'd say 20 at most.
