What makes this worse is this was one of the few games I had down as winnable in this period, could be a tough spell until we get some more bodies back, really think we need to get offloading and try and play more expansive but sometimes it’s not as simple as that and you have to set a platform with your pack.

Come the cherry and white glasses wearing brigade defend this. Its been coming us getting mullered.
Yes where down forwards but this is no excuse for pathetic defence and commitment

Has he completed 1 tackle yet this game? Been a turnstile.

There’s some serious finger pointing needs to be done at Peet as well. Make a statement and get Smith and Field off. Sit them down for the last 25 mins and show people he has a grip on this team.

Dear oh dear !

Forgetting our display, I'm made up that Tom Johnstone is getting some regular game time. Excellent player.

Wasn't able to go this weekend but fair play to the Wigan fans for making all that noise in the face of this fiasco.

Re: Field back : Sat Jun 03, 2023 4:29 pm  

Not winning anything this year that team, absolutely shocking.

Pathetic, no intensity, no defence, no attack

Re: Field back : Sat Jun 03, 2023 4:31 pm  

I said last year that Field was a liability defensively and was laughed at because he made a one on one tackle in the CC semi final.

It’s all been scored on him today and the others around him have been on edge. Probably why he played 1 last year.

You’ve looked really solid in defence without him….

We’ve been bullied but we are missing a large proportion of our pack and Catalans have played well.
A defeat like this however is unacceptable though and what it points out again to me like it has a few times this season is we are maybe flat track bullies, when we physically get on top and dominate the ruck and territory we seem to revel (Saints, Warrington and most games we have won) when a team gets on a roll against us we really seem to struggle to stem the bleed and turn the tables.
Tough few weeks coming up and we could find ourselves out of the cup and a way off a home play off final spot. IL needs to get the cheque book out and get Dupree in ASAP.
