Look on the brightside, if richards hadn't missed those 3 kicks they'd have scored 90

Limitations of our squad meant we were always struggling to compete. A few of the smaller sides predictably took beatings today, unfortunately we just got the best side in the comp (the only side to take 4 pts this weekend) & they were utterly ruthless. Not even that cranky about it tbh, really enjoyed some of the football they played. Draw a line under it & aim up for Saints.

Well said. Know your place, bend over and take it like a man

Don't worry a lot of teams under perform after a cup final.

Well you'd know

1.Not read the full thread and don't come on here very often. 2 How do you know I live in West Hull. 3 It seems someone is on a real downer, but then again I would be really down after seeing the team you support concede 84 points. I took our defeat against your lot on the chin with all the banter and 3 days later it is my turn to give some back. I always thought a week was a long time in sport but not 3 days. Chill out, no doubt you will have your time again.

Whilst most where probably not expecting Hull KR to beat Wigan, there is a bit of a difference between getting beaten and getting taken to the cleaners.

The fact that Sandercock had already stated that he was against this double fixture just lets his players off the hook to take a snooze day.

In another drubbing at Huddersfield, Betts clearly set out his stall by picking players who he would never pick in a Widnes team.

If coaches give signals to the players about a game not being important then those players are not going to be motivated to play to the top of their game.

Salford managed to face up to Bradford who had an extra day on them, their squad is paper thin, but maybe the fact that the coaching set up at Salford are under pressure to produce results gave them cause to fight for the points even though it was a loss in the end.

Cas too did not throw in the towel, or Wakefield for that matter. The results may still have been losses, but at least they were more in line with what a fan might expect. Not just a blow out as the coach put up the white flag before kick off.

So in the end it's a bit of a self fullfilling prophesy from Sandercock and Betts.

I agree with most of that, but having rushed to the game from work only to see that pathetic display it was not very nice, I except we have a small squad & our halfs were missing but to watch Wigan run in five or more without a hand being laid on them is not right, even if they run over the top of you at least get in their way, the only ones who could take a bit of pride from that were Horne & Salter who tackled everthing they could the rest should look in the mirror for a long while & decide if a career change is on the cards.

I think you once conceded 13 tries against saints at the magic fixture but they missed a stack of conversions so this kind of thing happened under morgan

Yeah, we did, can't remember the exact numbers as I had to get very drunk afterwards.

We had a few blow outs under Morgan, away at Saints and Wire I recall but Sandercock has managed to exceed even that.

And now that Shadows man has turned up with his terrifying little picture.

Wigan fan in peace.
First of all thanks to the HKR speccies we met in Soccer Sensations, genuine fans and good to have a chat.

What happened to "pride in your shirt"? Yes Wigan played some really fast open attacking rugby, and their speed and accuracy of passing was great to watch, but some of the Rovers defending, particularly for the Hughes, Green and Smith tries I wouldn't expect if we turned out our U16 side.
It was embarrassing, even for us genuine Wigan fans who like to see a proper match.

Anyway good luck on Sunday and do the right thing and stuff our enemies (Saints)

Like I posted earlier mate, no effort. Wigan were ruthless thanks to our lack of attitude

Completely agree. I had to laugh at Paea being spelled after having 20 mins on the pitch during which he had 3 drives and took part in no more than a handful of tackles!! I did more work drinking a cup of tea. Our forwards need to have a long hard look at themselves. We had set after set trying to get out of our 20 with the likes of Latus and Salter doing all the work, surely the props need to step in and man up, no wonder the edge defence is poor as they’re doing the hard graft.

Total embarrassment and completely unacceptable performance, Wigan weren’t even that good, they never had to be. I said at half time that Wane would have given his lads a roasting for not playing with tempo, looks like he did and Wigan in 2nd gear tore us a new one. I knew we’d get beat, never had any illusions otherwise but never expected this manner of capitulation, what was it 30 points in 12 minutes at the end, the team and coaching staff need to take a long look at themselves and sort that out, there are no excuses.

Easter, all teams play twice. Injuries, so what who hasn’t, doesn’t mean you give up. Starting to think they thought they’d appeased the fans by beating the worst FC team (on Fridays performance) I’ve seen in a long while, well sorry Craig it’s not good enough. Can’t see a win in April and think that might be it.
