Nothing to do with hanging onto to a lead, just not good enough.

Outside of Hill no one in our pack has any go forward...

Gidley is past it, and was a laughing stock in the nrl for the last few years, has a limited passing game for a half, highlighted at the end of this game where he ignored an overlap to run the ball.

People moaned at me for mentioning his faults after the win at hull, but against a motivated and well organised defence, his weaknesses were exposed.

Evans in attack is like watching an under 9 player, has no idea of running at angles or when and when not to pass the ball. We might as well just stick a traffic cone there, I would hate to be a winger next to him.

We couldn't win the collision or control the play the ball


We actually looked like the Wigan side early season clueless in attack, credit Wigan they defended well but we didn't really test them.

A lls is not a bad end to the season, but to have been in both finals is tough to swallow.

It was t king that didn't make the pass tho Ron not gidly

Did somebody throw a Tomato at Gidley? No smirk off Smug Smith.

Taking off Patton who was playing quite well.Wtf was Smith thinking + Sandhow for me can go back home.

T king is a kid who is on 20k a year, I expect that from him.

Gidley is a veteran on closer to 200k a year, when he was tackled by Gelling and smith at the end, if he passes the ball we score.

100% correct!

I'm too disappointed to really post without being all doom and gloom,

But we managed to finish first over-the-counter season and have found that deckannpatton can step up to the plate as can t king. Which are huge positives ww can take from the season.

I remain optimistic for next season but think that this is one of worst teams we've had in terms of scoring on the wing, Lineham had a few opportunities more half chances than anything else tho and Russel even less!!

But congratulations Wigan deserved winners of that gf
