Two tries from Sam Tomkins in quick succession just before HT punishing Rovers errors gives the Warriors a 12-4 lead going into the break.

Not too bad. Still half a chance - though only if we score next, realistically.

5 tries in 12 minutes either side of the break have effectively ended the game.

28-4 to Wigan

For all that Wigan are good, the way concede tries in rapid succession is very poor.

We are heartless IMHO.

Whether it is behind the ribs or in the skull, I'm not sure, but we do seem to be very, very brittle. They shut me up last time, with a good little run after the Salford collapse, but it feels a bit like you're waiting for that fifteen minute spell where we drop out of contention with a when, not if attitude, doesn't it?
Maybe moved from having too much safe and steady (and limited and predictable, when it went wrong) under Morgan, to too much talented but erratic, without enough experience to leaven it - grizzled veterans who know how to dig in.

Is the come back on?.

46-14 FT

Good first half and back to business as usual in the last 40 minutes.

Damn.....

Not altogether true, you play like lion hearts in the Derbies? One coming up soon.

Chin up.

We didn't last year for 2 of the 3.

Oh well. So much for that then. Depression for a few days before blind optimism kicks in again...
