Why didn't we bomb the life out of Ainscough and have Blanchy breathing down his neck? 2 efforts and 2 tries, we should have done it all afternoon.

Thought Grix had a stinker too, why not play Murphy?

I was suprised that you didnt put bombs upto that wing all dau considering that we had 2 midgets out there in phelps and ainscough

Blanch normaly solid in defence but today he was a bit poor, as for Grix well the less said the better.

Why was he out there? Is Murphy injured? He's not a winger, why play him on the wing when there is a perfectly adequate winger not playing.... Strange decision, unless he is injured. Atkins looked a little lame also today I think.

Yeah, thought we might have cottoned on after 2 attempts and 2 tries.

Murphy - Wrist injury! Nope don't like him on wing at all. He has not played well since coming back from inury. But he will find it hard to get 6/7

No one really stood out for me today tbh! As for Ryan, took knock early on but got on with it. Made 1 good break which ended up in Grix passing to Wigan player. Summed up our day did that.

To be fair some Wigan fans did still walk out early

But not nearly as many as Trinity fans.

After you scored both times I said to my dad that i expected you to kick us to death in that corner but apart from the spiral bomb that brough put up and we managed to deal with you didnt seem to bother

Fair do's, I stand corrected (Said the man in the orthapedic shoe) about the selection,

In all honesty the better team won. We were lucky to be in the game at half time and scored some fortunate tries.

Wigan slowed us down and we lacked ideas. Our attack suffered due to good Wigan defence. Whether that is the referee's fault is another matter but will should still be able to alter how we attack and adapt to the conditions.

Wigan had too much pace for us and we missed far too many tackles and made silly errors in their 20m.

The effort was there just not the application. Can't win them all.

Could say the same about your hero too, was very lazy today and at one point when we had creates an overlap towards the end of the game hewas 10-15 yards behind play scratching his ar5e! Hopefully this was just a blip, poor team performance, best team won and ref had nothing whatsoever to do with the outcome of the game. Payback time in two weeks hopefully. I'd stand the league loss if I was guaranteed a win in the cup (obviously we're not lol). Fair play to Wigan,best team on the day but, got to say that was probably our worst performance of the season. Gleeson might learn to keep his mouth shut now, spouting off in the papers how he wanted to show Wigan what they were missing, if that sort o performance carries on I'm sure they'll be quite happy they shipped him out! If you talk the talk you've got to walk the walk, unfortunately today Gleese hardly mustered a crawl nevermind a walk!

You could yeah he had an off game today, made 1 good break though which got fooked up. Was limping early on in game but shook it off.

And it was down Blanch side where Wigan cained us. Like I said down that side we are normaly solid.
