We were sheeyite. Kept trying the same things despite being outgunned. Awful.

Don't be ridiculous

It doesn’t make us a bad team and hasn’t lost us anything.
We we’re out muscled by the Wigan pack and it showed.
We had a poor kick game off the back of that…to be honest Drinkwater was anonymous and when he did play some, he stank the place out.
Williams had his poorest kicking game too. Williams is a short game kicker, but because our forwards were 2nd best, he wasn’t kicking short.
Harry Smith was sensational.

That’s it really. We go again next week.

How did them last 2 video ref tries not get awarded. Absolutely shocking from the video ref. Even more so the last one with 30 seconds to go.

We were up against it from the get go because of his actions.

We'll win nowt this year if we can't front up to that sort of intensity when it counts. Injuries or not we let them bully us.

We need to replace mikaele, dudson didn't cost us last week but he cost us this week. He has a lot of making up to do IMO.

Yep we need to replace Mikaele… he’s a big miss.

I'll absolutely take that tonight.

Massively short in numbers in the forwards in conditions that needed your best forwards there, generally hopeless and outclassed in most departments AND done very harshly by the match officials, yet we have been beat by just 7 pts.

I said going into this run of games that it was more about performance than result, and though the performance wasn't anywhere near good enough, to only be beat by such a small margin against a much better opponent on the night, makes me very optimistic for when we get our pack sorted.

We've been found out a little tonight, but some bad decisions and tired bodies and depleted ranks have come home to roost too.

I disagree. Last year we lose that game by a country mile, if we'd had one of Bullock, Philbin or Harrison fit we'd have won.

And Philbin tbf. Players getting themselves banned cost us dear tonight.

We did front up we had one forward in Vaughn and kasiano who’s a bench player starting. Grow up and don’t post when emotions are high
