We were going well up until Griffin's ridiculous antics, He made himself look a right idiot. If someone did that to Connor to goad him people would be up in arms.
Non of the 50/50's went our way unlike last week and the refereeing left a lot to desired but that isn't why we lost. The best team won on the night. The scoreline was hard to take, more so because we were really building into the game and looked the stronger of the teams up until that moment.
The second half ran away from us with no game management what so ever. how many times did the ball end up in the wrong persons hands on the last tackle resulting in a poor end to the set or panicked passing resulting in lost possession? We tried but it just wasn't happening. I'd have taken it a month ago though. Time to move on now with a total fresh set of ideas and ethics.

Decent first quarter then it was a Pies masterclass. No issues from me.

As for Lasty, he is not a head coach, he is not a leader of men. I've been saying for sometime the whole backroom old boys network needs a clear out. We need a fresh start, no idea who though.

Roll on 2021 and getting back to games home and away. Hope Toulouse come in too.

sensible post
Toulouse nailed on to enter S/L next year

It was the fastest Griffin ran all evening

Hey I'm no Einstein, but I'm guessing he's talking about taking over during a worldwide pandemic

The so called pandemic ended months ago, now we have a scamdemic. The same situation applied to all the other teams, Leeds won a Challenge Cup, handing Wigan thier backside on the way. Wigan won the league leaders shield, and are now in the GF. All Andy Last had to do was go from No2 to No.1, it’s not like a player suddenly having to take the role of coach, Last has been a coach quite a few years now.

Still, must of been harder then taking over without the pandemic (scamdemic

)

The families of the 3,000 people (ONS stats) who have died this week may disagree that the scamdemic ended months ago.

Wigans game management was class as expected , There defensive line speed strangled the life out of our one dimensional attack which we couldn't change or adapt .

Saints doing Catalans what Wigan did to us. But more so. The Big 4 stranglehold on Grand Final appearances continues - 26 of the 28 GF participants since we got there back in 2006 from those 4, and every winner in those 14 seasons from the Big 3. The gap based on this year seems to be widening rather than narrowing.

The last time someone other than Wigan/Saints/Leeds/Bradford were RL Champions was Widnes way back in 1989.

Thatcher was Prime Minister, George Bush had just replaced Ronald Reagan as US President, Nelson Mandela was still in prison and the Berlin Wall had yet to be demolished.
