Sika pick of the bunch for me.

Me too. Disappointed with Sneyd, he did a Luke Gale. At the end of the day it was our away fixture, we probably would have lost at the DW. The key thing now is to get back on it against Cas and not have a hangover from this trip.

Makes me laugh how the commentary team make out Wigan and hull have taken similar amount of fans , not even mentioned hull having at least twice as many fans

Agreed, we have a terrible record there. Warm weather training, great PR and hopefully just Houghton injured, assuming Faraimo will be a week or so and Mini had a very good 2nd half to say he was meant to have done his ankle. That Cas game will be tough.

Next week been a friendly is good. I couldn't care if we get beat 60-0 and the Aussies (and other clubs fans) take the , it's a chance for us to give a week off to anybody who had even the slightest knock today.

Agree Sneyd was pretty anonymous tbf. We battled and never gave in, which is a good sign.

Talk about feeling deflated

Disappointed with the loss, but perspective needed.
We've come a long way to be in the position to be asked to go.
It's a great experience for the players and fans that have gone, and think we will get a lot out of it, on and off the field, for some time to come.

Depends how determinedly negative you are I suppose.

I can't say I built it up that much so I'm just a normal level of disappointed. I'll move on with my day and have forgotten about it shortly.

For the fans who have gone out there I'm sure they were hoping for a better game but hey, they are on holiday on Aus so I'm sure they will get over it pretty quickly!

The amount of dropped ball was an embarassment for a pro RL team

Ive got a mate messaging me who's there saying the fans turned up but the players couldnt be d

We never got out of neutral

A manful defensive effort in the heat and with reduced interchanges, the disruption of losing a winger in the 2nd minute and houghton early on which was our biggest problem as it loses us a key defender, options out of dummy half and organisation of our attack.

No major dramas on the loss which would have been the same in sydney or wigan but I just hope (pray) we don;t lose houghton for an extended period as we were utter gash without him for 2 months last year.

wigan scored a couple of tries off the back of us losing our winger before we sorted our edge defence and a couple of barge overs but we handled them really well other than that with washbrook and particularly connor doing a great job defending our right.. Too many errors with the ball for us to really mount any realistic fightback in the 2nd half.

I thought griffin was excellent in defence and attack - we really need to find a way of getting him quality early ball, connor did a great defensive job after the first 2 tries, particularly as he could barely run later on in the game and sika manu was an absolute beast who looked like he was playing for an NRL contract.

Plenty of effort all round and not a major disappointment we lost given the disruption we had

Very disappointing. Very poor performance.
The injuries didn’t help , but not an excuse .
Wigan, quicker and slicker than us .
Our attack with ball in hand is a concern, movement is terrible.

Losing a winger in the first minute is probably the worst thing that could have happened. It was never going to be easy to re-organise.
If Carlos had been fit then I'm sure the bench would have coped much better.

Can't understand some of the doom & gloom to be honest. Whilst I'm disappointed we lost you can't fault the effort and in those conditions with two players off early doors and two or three having knocks and playing on.
Watts looked like a player taking part in his first game which you expect. Unfortunately the injuries early and conditions cost us but we didn't get blown away. Some good individual performances and a couple of players who should have done better.
On to Cas and put things right.

I thought the talanoa try was one of the best worked moves we've put on in a long time but agree overall that the ball movement was ponderous but I think that was more a result of fatigue and houghton going off. We looked pretty good early on and were making metres for fun until he went off. 2 interchanges down in that heat was always going to tell and wigan had the lions share of possession so we had a lot of defending to do.

I personally think radford got things wrong after faraimo went off and we'd have been better moving griffin to the right wing and leaving connor in the centre. It would still have given us plenty of go forward on kick returns and would have been a better defensive fit plus griffin is quicker
