As an aside, isn't it the most frustrating thing in the world that hundreds of thousands of people choose to watch this over rugby league?

The only plus side for me this weekend was being surrounded by West Country Union fans in my Irish Union shirt and watching England self-implode AGAIN

The difference is we had the game won at that point and the Randall pass did in fact lose us the match. It was a shocker mate.

Yeah it did. 6 mins on the clock....up the jumper, complete your sets, put a good kick in. Dont throw wild cut-out passes to your wing within your own 30.

The side lost composure on Saturday, Randall in particular with his telegraphed pass, but we weren't clinical enough in the first half putting away our chances.

Yes, agree. The bad pass by Randall was infuriating at that stage, but we should have had the game won by then. Several players blew try-scoring chances within a yard or two of the line in the first half, and Wigan were truly awful in the first half. Remember the 72-8 game v Wakey in 2005, when we led 36-0 at half time? It should have been something close to 36-0 at half time on Saturday. We actually played really well for the first forty minutes apart from our finishing. 10-6 at half time was always unlikely to win us the match - Wigan simply couldn't be so poor again after the break.

Saturday RL up against London football watched by 131,000 people. Everyone of them is excluded from the potential of watching RL.
It was without doubt the No 1 concern that needed addressing and 0/10 for the efforts the club have made in addressing it

Pathetic !!

If there genuine league fans they would have been there watching one of your biggest matches of the year wasnt last year on a saturday n there was 2 people on my coach back that had been to chelsea than made their way over london to watch the game.

WE can go on about Chad's pass (what was Will Sharp putting his hand up for to ask for the pass) but we also kicked out on the full and let one of their kick offs bounce out for a goal line drop out.
