You get to watch this great game tonight though. Thrilling stuff.

You're right - playing the game tonight was the mystery for me. Could understand wanting to screen Leeds v Hull KR, although with hindsight its looking like London might fall away badly.

Was hoping for a dry day to give us more chance of trying to bring our backs into the game more hopefully come game time we will see drier conditions.



I'm going tonight expecting a whooping so anything better than that will be great fully received. I'm expecting that Clubb will not play but hope that Byrne will bring a more physical game.



My main worry is that Saints score quite a few barge over tries a la Cas earlier in the season.

Pretty stupid to risk Clubb, we're light enough in the forwards as it is.

If he breaks down in his first stint and we're left with sixteen men for 75 mins then it could turn into a very long night.

Play someone who's fit.

Agree. We have Wakey next week at home and then a week off. Let the likes of Clubb get themselves fit ready for a big 6 or 7 weeks towards the playoffs.

Aye, and when Greenwood comes back lets hope that he has the sense to start wearing some head protection

Why?

Been out for a couple of weeks at a time three times tis season.



Makes me worry about a player when that happens.



It's the reason Darrel Goulding had to retire.

Well that’s us back down to Earth with a bump - a result and performance I feared.



Did more to back my opinion that Lam isn’t the one for Wigan than to back up the clubs decision to hand him a new deal. We were negative, dull and predictable with the only spark being Hardakers try which was excellent.



I can’t quite believe the gulf in class and the drop we’ve had from last season to this.

Utter rubbish. Is it Lam’s fault we lost Hamlin, Tautai, Flower, Clubb, Greenwood and Lockers from the squad at the start of the season? No it isn’t. What about Davies and Manfredi? No it isn’t.

Saints are clearly the best side in the competition and beat us fair and square but it has to be taken in context. None of that is down to Lam.

It was always going to be a transitional season and we’ll definitely be in the play offs. When we are, nobody will want to play us. Partington and Smithies are great prospects but tonight was reminiscent of Cas away. Young lads beaten by top forwards. That wouldn’t happen if Flower, Clubb and Lockers has played.

We might not have won tonight but our forwards would have given us a bit more resilience. Young lads can’t win the big games on their own and need the support of experienced players around them.

We’ll beat Wakey next week and go on another run.

Give over.



Stop excusing a poor performance, a far cry from last weeks words when you’d have thought we were world beaters. Our attack collapsed, defence poor, predictable and negative. That you can lay at Lam’s door; as per it was prior to our run, which as good as it was let’s be fair and say we beat teams we should be beating anyway.



I’ll have we were weak in our forwards, no one can say we weren’t but that still does not excuse the performance given. Talk about a “Good Friday” debacle, it’s a “Bad Friday” debacle tonight.



Dress it up how you like if it makes you feel any better but that was nothing short of shambolic.

It was always going to be a bridge too far tonight minus 4 props from the start of the season plus Lockers and Greenwood. I wouldn’t start pointing fingers at Lam but I would question the teams decisions tonight. I thought going for the two points at 0-0 and then 6-2 was just throwing much needed field position away and giving their front row and their defensive line speed an easy way of keeping us pinned in our half. We’d troubled them in the first 5-10 mins as well but then had to do too much defending.
