We have no idea in attack.

5 drives and a kick. That is it.

Not helped tonight by perhaps the most inept referee I have seen this season, but still we dont help ourselves allowing countless knock ons and silly penalties. I think we knocked on 3 times on the second tackle after being awarded penalties in good field position. :roll:

No doubt we will smash Barrow and all will be well again :roll:

Spot on comment that, we played in the hudds hands lock stock & barrell,
very rarely did the wingers see the ball(Roberts once for the try)
We have the top scorer in super league but he never got a pass

Is it any wonder the crowds are going down playing the sort of rugby that was offered up tonight

Rant over :x

Feel free to rant :wink: Feel the same myself.

After having just shelled out a small fortune to watch us in France I am wondering why I bother after tonights shambles.

Same tactics worked for Huddersfield though.

It was hardly the weather to be chucking it about in tonight and of the two teams I would say we were the more adventurous.

Thats assuming that we can actually complete a full-set, without dropping the ball / knocking-on / throwing a wayward pass, of course!
More like 'Wigan - Home of the 2 drives and a scrum', these days. :evil:

Woeful 11,600. Fan's have realised that we're being bullied on our own ground every game and have started to vote with their feet.

A good win tonight would have secured a sell out v Stains, now we'll struggle to sell 20K.

So we failed to play the conditions?

As i said i am not in a position to comment on the performance but from what i have heard Brown got it right and picked up the win, Noble got it wrong and we all know where that story ends.

I would agree with that. Hudds came with a game plan to spoil at the play the ball and they did it well. They were lying on and keeping a hand on the ball and generally slowing it down. I am not blaming them for that, it is up to the ref to be firm but if he isn't then you get away with what you can.
