Wigan are a winning machine and just find a way every time. Peet has done a marvellous job there. You would think NRL clubs would be looking at him? Maybe because he’s English, they don’t. He’d do a better job than a lot of Aussie assistants that get head coach jobs.

Yes, commented on that too. Looked to me like there should have been a card there.

And the tip tackle in the second half. Ah well. It's bent.

As for the poster saying we'd have beaten Wigan tonight, behave, they would've gone up a few more gears but they didn't need to, plain and simple. As I said, they toyed with HKR and let them run themselves ragged and waited for the errors.

You can't be serious on this one, Farrell played a bigger role than Lewis in making that into a foul challenge, and even then Lewis did just about everything possible to ensure a gentle landing. Always going to be given as a penalty but nothing in it.

So what? Liam Marshall did the same in the incident I'm referring to, made a right meal of the landing and our player still got sent off?

Couldn't be bothered watching. OT is a postage stamp of a playing area, where the kicking games so important as to determining who wins. Not a venue for flowing rugby.

Once again Wigan show why they are the greatest sporting club in the world, possibly in any sport, certainly in rugby league. They are the benchmark for our great game. We were honestly privileged to be on the same pitch playing them at Wembley, just like in 1990 when we had an open top bus tour for losing to them.

It seems like the era of cherry and white dominance is starting again so it's time for us all to get down on our knees and suck on Uncle Joe's mintballs.

Well we ain't going to overtake them next year with the new signings as they are.
