What a flattering score 25 to 10 was for Wigan.

We just need to maintain pressure when we are in the opposition's 25.

Made far too many mistakes there and defended poorly at times on our line.

Despite going down to 12 men twice and losing the penalty count 12 to 4 I still feel frustrated that we lost this game.

Grid had a nightmare tonight so I assume Jowitt will be full back next game.

Young Crowther impressed as did TJ.

Its only fair that max gets the fullbacks shirt back after his performance tonight!

Re: Composure. : Thu Sep 06, 2018 9:07 pm  

would of helped to go in 2 points down than 3 then give a penalty away to 5, shows how even Wigan thought the two points was right at the time

No its called being honest! I'm not one for calling a player just because i dont like him like alot on here, if at the end of the game he's not played well thats fair enough! Not after 40 minutes.

Just seemed you were quick on the draw to criticise a poster who wondered why Grix and not Jowitt was playing.
Maybe leave it until after the game?

Its allways the best way! We just have to look at our 1st half performance against the giants! And we all know the outcome.

As creditable as last night's performance was if I was Chester I would make two changes to that 17 for next week (injuries aside).

Fair play to Wigan, I thought on balance they were the better side on the night. Wane needs a reality check as his post match comments were pathetic.

I'm not blaming Thaler and I think like I have all season that we need to work on our discipline since those penalties cost us heavily in a tight game. As for balls coming loose in the tackle, well it doesn't matter which ref you get, it is a lottery as to whether it is a loose carry or a penalty; Wigan just always seem very good at it both ways (attacking and defending).

I thought a couple of decisions went Wigans way last night. One for me was when Johnstone made that massive break toying with Wigan defenders, I did not think his offload was knocked on or forward at all. Was a very entertaining game and I think this thread title is perfect to sum up what cost you the game. Hats off again to Bill Tupou the guys a beast

Although the rule is that for a knock-on is that it has to go forward, the refs increasingly seem to interpret it as any fumble that doesn't definitively go directly backwards.

Thought Wigan got the benefit of a couple of dodgy decisions, and in fact scored twice from them, but we had so much ball in their twenty we should have scored more. Best team won on the night. We were just that little bit not quite as good as them all night.
