Ludicrous decision going for the two from there....a 15 yard kick into touch and an attacking set from 35 out with our fluid playing style was the way to go.

I'd have almost forgiven them for cocking that up rather than a pop at goal that didn't even reach and I'm not blaming Ratchford, the buck stops with the coach and they certainly took their time about it.

Taking the pi## more like.

That was the time to try something outrageous.

set up to take the 2, boot the ball high up and purposely miss with every man and his dog chasing it.

Hi all Wigan fan here in peace! i think the game was lost by the decision to take a kick from the half way line with 7 minutes left! You do not have a kicker capable in your team to kick from that distance! you should blame your manager for not kicking for the corner and try to score a try Lets hope you don't start next season by losing 10 out of your last 15 games like this season or as Phil Clarke said you will get relegated next season if you lose so many games

hi,hull fc supporter comes in peace.i think phil clark was wrong when he said losing that many games and you could be relegated,just look at hull fc,lost 13 on the bounce and never got relegated.

= ungentlemanly conduct, penalty to Cas. You aren't allowed to deliberately miss a penalty. Plus it's a miles worse option than kicking into touch and playing hot potato.

It seemed like that to me, after all we've seen Ratch boot the ball out on the full many a time from the kick off so it should have been well within his range. Perhaps that was why Hill was doing so much hanging about at the mark, discussing tactics.

Phil Clark should be part of a clear out of the sky team. I used to like him but he is dreadful and embarrassingly bias

I like that Clarke hates Wire with a fired passion...in some balance Carney calls him out occasionally.
