Chance of a full come back blown when Tupou spilled the ball 5 metres out with about 8 mins to go. Shame.

Greenwood's soft try only just slightly less of an embarrassment than Huby's last seconds dropped ball.

Its a contact sport these things happen! Some you get away with some you dont.

Lots of 'ifs' and 'buts', but should have taken the two and would have been going into ht only 2 behind and with 7 minutes to go, we were pressing and needed to get a repeat set.
Tupou knocks on and pressure released.
Small margins.

Great effort from the team tonight to say we were never really in the game in the first half ,but kept turning up for each other to keep us Within touch of Wigan .Played a quarter of the game with 12 men and still Wigan couldn’t beat us into submission.
It all bodes Well for the team for the rest of the season and into next .

....and so often those small margins are very easily rectified things we bring on ourselves. It was SO obvious to take 2 there yet nobody had a cool head to shout STOP and don't be daft taking the tap

I actually thought we looked well up for it from the start but kept shooting ourselves in the foot in the first 20. Every time we kept our cool we looked better than them. Does it bode well? It bodes well for more of the same because they never learn from making the same errors over and over again. I take no joy in saying this. I admire their effort and am genuinely proud we haven't taken an early break like Hull and Catalans to a lesser extent, but it has to be said. Our performances are like a record with the needle stuck

Another great game for the neutral to watch, thought you were unlucky and the scoreline didn't do it justice. Does this game finally put to bed the rumour that Ben is a Wakey fan?
Thought you put a lot of pressure on the Wigan line in the first quarter without turning into points which cost you in the end.
Think Wane was taking the pee with his post match comments but on the bright side I can't see them troubling Cas in the semi's on that performance.

Re: Wigan Away - Thursday : Thu Sep 06, 2018 9:57 pm  

Really impressed with Wakey tonight discipline aside. The game has a star in Tom Johnstone and I look forward to watching him in an England shirt at the end of the year. We always struggle against big sides and against Wakey and tonight was no different. There is no way it was a 25-10 game.

I hope not. I'll be cheering you on with gusto, local rivalry or not. Cheeky pie eating .....

Thank you. A Wigan fan with sense. Not impressed with Wane's comments and I won't be sad to see him gone. Worse than his one eyed view of the reffing was his opinion of the match. Some moments of poor quality from both sides but overall an entertaining game and a good arm wrestle with plenty of aggression and skill. And he made it sound like a bag of poop. Do not like that negative and unpleasant man
