I actually feel sorry for the supporters who have invested money to watch this performance. It is them who should feel gutted and deserve an apology.

I'm pretty sure none went expecting a win.
They went to support their team who are having a tough time.

Bottom 4 all lost but there were a few nervy moments, particularly HKR and Cas tried their best to throw it away against Leeds.

It’s not expecting a win but expecting effort and did the team show any, I will leave those that attended to comment but listening would suggest maybe not. I know you like to defend the team but it would appear that on the last two performances they don’t like to follow your example.

Hmm, pre season optimism well and truly gone. Last 280 minutes it's 146 conceded 24 scored.

Wire really must have been awful

The most worrying thing about the leeds game is how crap cas where the same cas side that hammered us

I think they went expecting for effort, which they clearly didn’t get.

Stop defending the indefensible.

Firstly I was fedending the supporters who went to Wigan

Second we sent a depleted team to Wigan and lost. I'm not sure why you are so keen to stick the boot in.

And the reason I sometimes feel defensive on the teams behalf is that when we won a few games, it was relatively quiet on here with a lot of usual posters pretty quiet. Now they are struggling they are all over it. You should think about that.

So, including long-term injuries, we are missing :-
Jowitt
Johnstone
Tupou
Lineham
Kershaw
Fifita
Hood
Arona
Crowther
Whitbread
Bowes

All of whom would realistically be either first or second choice...and we have a rookie and a centre likely up against two of the most potent, fastest players in Superleague...it could be a long afternoon

We had at least half of our first team missing...what did you expect ??
We don't have the strength in depth that Wigan and Saints have !!

Re: Wigan II the resurrection : Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:05 pm  

We have a very competitive team when we have a full strength team in the field , I saw enough at saints to see that myself, this game was always a lost leader . Regroup get a few more bodies back in and go again

Re: Wigan II the resurrection : Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:08 pm  

We just have to hope that we will have some of the above back for HKR on Saturday and that they've had a difficult time in Toulouse
