What do people make of tonight then?

Anyone tell me why Hock was back on the field? Only to put in one tackle and then be taken back off again? He actually limped back onto the pitch? Surely, being that injured, he should of been off, and never allowed to return... That to me doesn't sound right, and implies that the decision making is on it's ar$e...

I honestly don't know what's going to happen now? With regards to Noble and the squad - I thought Shaun Ainscough played awsome tonight, and I take back what I said about him 'not being ready' in a previous post - Maybe Shaun's performance tonight is a sign for Noble to give these youngsters a go...

We didn't play 'that' bad if you ask me, again, just too many mistakes - I think Riddell was brought here for entertainment if I'm being honest, not his playing ability - Like i said, I just don't know what will happen now?? 3 losses, 2 of which coming from Wakefield and Cas, it's not good at all. You can't say it's early, there isn't any excuses.

Defence - shocking at times, especially in our own quarter.

Discipline - shocking. Easily lost the penalty count again.

Kicking game - shocking. Yet again, out on the full twice. Plus weak kicks on the last.

Attack - Flat attack with no runners, again....crap!

Completion rate - Average. Again too much lost ball early in the count.


Awful Rugby, bullied on our own patch again by an average (but well organised hardworking proud team).

But there's always next week isn't there Brian?
Can't wait to read his post match comments!!

Look what happened in those 20 mins when we staarted throwin the ball about 4 great trys, then after that we went back to boring flat up the middle - Noble style

We've got it in us, we just need a new coach, after today im not that bothered - the only thing thats bothering me is that i dont think lenegan has the guts to sack Noble.

I said exactly the same to my wife after the match.

We threw the ball around as we had to get some quick scores, then when we got within touching distance it was back to the same old same old that has done sod all for us so far.

I said the other day if the pitch is firm and if Shewin played Cas would win.The problam with Wigan you have no half backs i can honstley say your kicking game was garbige and thats comming from a Cas fan who is used rubbish but you will pick points very soon your not a million miles of the mark.

Spot on. And those things can be rectified - or at least improved - if IL makes a simple decision.

The team isn't fit enough to do that IMO.

Spot on. The poor fitness levels at Wigan are a major problem.
