I’m not sure what you were watching, but given the pack available and conditions I thought we played a backs to the wall game extremely well. Quite what change in game plan you were expecting is a mystery. As to us being “sheeyite” I would suggest you are either clueless *or a Saints fan.

I always put a Wire win on here. I’ve nowt to lose so what’s the point in putting them down for a loss, why do you think I finish near bottom of the prediction league last season and through C19.

I did see it coming and I’ve £25 going on tomorrows game because of the results…. But I’ll still say a Wire win.

oh right, cover all bases, I like it

You're basically the bloke who backs 15 or 20 horses in the Grand National and then, when your horse wins, you tell everyone what a great horse tipster you are...

Nope I bet one horse last year and she won. This year I’m not betting at all.
I only regularly bet in SL.

Warrington had there worst performance so far this season and lost to the 2nd placed team in the league by 7 points. Wigan dominated the game and only won by 7.

I think you have to give Wigan some credit. It's what they did that stopped us doing what we do best - rather than saying it's our worst performance in my view.

We are jaded - especially in the forwards - and Ill keep pn going on about it - Dudson cost us that game - or at least a better chance of winning.

With Harrison back hopefilly at least we have a fresh forward for Saints.

Just a thought, but are we a bit naiive? Wigan did so much lying on and slowing down and we never seemed to return the favour? We don't seem to match them in that kind of department, do we need a bit more guile? Saints fans saying they struggled to match Wigan in that department last week too. The thing that irks me though, is when we do try that kind of thing, we just get penalised.

Heat of the moment post I'm afraid. Watched it back again and we weren't that far off the mark, did well to keep them to seven points despite being so short in troops and everything, and but for a few naff referee calls we weren't that far away. Get our bigger lads back and we'll hopefully be able to create better platforms for Williams. (I still don't rate drinkwater).

I think most successful teams have the guile to manipulate the referee's judgement . The secret of success is hoodwinking the officials in my charitable opinion.

Yep. There were a lot of Wire fans posting on the Wigan site in the lead up to the match, guess what, not many on there now

Without Mikaele, Bullock, Harrison and Dudson, we were rather short of grunt, and Wigan controlled the ruck. All I wanted before this game started was for us to keep in the contest, which we did (same against Cats, but we took he points) given tough circumstances. If we get closer on the yardage front in the games to come with the top sides, then we increase our chances of winning those games.

I'm not a fan of rotating wingers, and would have rather seen a young forward on the bench to show DP what they had. The effort from the 17 was good enough for me, and overall I'm not really disappointed as this loss doesn't define our season.

The bubble had to burst eventually, what will be more telling is how we react against saints and beyond, and whether we learn the lessons for later in the year (cup games and playoffs).
