Glad of the 2 points but that was dire.
If Williams doesn't click we are totally and utterly useless.
This is the worst pack since 1980 and IL & KR are at the root of it.
We won't win again this month so apart from a mickey up in Barcelona nowt to look forward to far quite a while.
For me tonight had the 2 worst teams in the comp on show. Appalling standard of play with zero individuality from any player. Coaches in general are killing the game complimented by incompetent management of the game & lack of talent in a very limited pool of players who are ambivalent to the state of the game.
I'm quite amazed that 9k people actually took the time to watch that dross.

Some kind of penance, maybe, for sins in a past life? That was painful. The gifted try probably swung the game; I think London would have fancied their chances of getting the points until then.

Clearly you never watched Wakefield in 2006, we were a decent team who shouldn’t have been where we were. If you must invoke Wakefield team and god only knows why then the 2015 team was by far the worst we have put out in SL. Even then there have been numerous team in SL that were far worse than either of the teams you mention and this Wigan team may well be one.

No, what I meant was it was the worst performance by a Wogan team since we played Wakefield (Cup - Halpenny/Richards no try) and Castleford (Where relegation actually seemed like a possibility).

There aren't many teams that have made an imprint on London in the first half.
They kept Warrington scoreless for 30 min and forced then to defend heavily almost all that period...perhaps the catalyst for the Wire collapse in the next two games.

There's no disgrace in struggling against London. If anything I'm peeved you got a try you didn't merit. I had Wigan down for less than 6 win. That's how good London are.

I think you are seriously over egging London’s ability there and that’s from someone who’s team took a first game beating from them. They really are poor now and a properly functioning Wigan should have put a minimum of forty on them.

I deal with facts not fantasy...
I can butter you up and say Wigan are in better form than Wire, over the last 3 games your 100% and we're 33%.
London are good value for the first 40 min at Wigan.

Looking at the stats from the game, there was improvement from the forwards but Tautai and Navarette need to step it up.

Carries Metres Tackles
Bullock - 13. 94. 28
Flower - 12. 87. 25
Tautai - 7. 58. 14
Navarette- 11. 94. 18
O’Loughlin - 7. 56. 25
Smithies - 11. 62. 35
Greenwood - 17. 101. 28
Isa - 10. 61. 37

Aye, you crack on with that happy clapping mate.
Just don’t be moaning about attendances in the future.
