There are times I'm glad I have to work some weekends

I see the tries are now up on Wigan TV. I don't how they managed to fit them all into 2 minutes!

Wakey ran some good lines and supported the ball-carrier well, but Jeez, the room they were given! Miller in particular seemed to run an awful long way unchallenged when he received the ball, and have plenty of time to size up his options and choose the right pass/kick, etc.

In truth their attack looked better and more fluent than anything we have achieved this season, even in some of our 'better' outings.

I blame the kit!

Well, Wakey sure saw us coming!

And, to be fair, if I was Wakey fan, I'd be delighted. You can only beat what's in front of you, but poor as we were, at least they played with a bit of pace and tempo, their passes went to hand, and they kicked well. And presumably defended well enough for the very little we threw at them. We, on the other hand, did none of those things.

Stevie Wonder can see our attacks coming.
An old one but the best I can muster at the moment.

Time to watch a bit of NRL I think, to see if that will cheer me up. I'll have a look how James Tedesco got on this week.

A tough result to take this one. Shipping more than 40 points in any game is unnecessary, shipping over 60 is unacceptable. We have been poor all year and have 'patched over the cracks' so to speak, at times.

I'm not overly worried as we have a lot of quality sitting in the treatment room at the moment. However, I just want to congratulate Wakefield, what a hell of a performance from them. They seem to have a renewed sense of confidence under Chris Chester, I hope they kick on for a top 8 spot.

As for Wigan, we all felt dejected at the away result to Cas last year, and we went on to be Grand Finalists and missed out on the LLS by not but a few seconds. I think we have enough in the tank to win a trophy this year.

Massive respect to the vast amount of Wigan fans who stayed to the end that takes some doing when you are at that end of a score line I know only to well from the score lines we had last season

Re: Squad for Wakefield & post match "discussion" : Sun Apr 10, 2016 6:31 pm  

Quite simply unacceptable for any Wigan side to lose by 60 points.

Getting to the GF and losing doesn't make up for days like this imo. Happened too many times under Wane's stewardship for me.

Love to the hear the apologists excuses this time

Re: Squad for Wakefield & post match "discussion" : Sun Apr 10, 2016 6:33 pm  

That was a complete and utter disgrace today from our boys
It is a day that i will never ever forget as we were taunted and laughed at through out the game by Wakefield fans

Those that look at our lofty league position may keep the faith with Wane but i certainly wont and the sooner he is gone the better IMO
as we have clearly regressed each season since Madge was in charge despite reaching GF's

IMO IF Madge hadn't left the club when he did then we would have won the last 2 GF's without a doubt
