Wigan are exceptional at winding up the opposition and generally messing around in the tackle. Sad thing is, referees constantly fall for it.
Increasingly, teams that know how to push, push, push and play on the very edge are winning games. We haven't been able to buy a six again all night, despite all in wrestling breaking out at every ptb.
Awful, I give up watching the rest. 2nd half has been really poor after a good first half. Wigan ruck control is dubious, our lack of fire to deal with it is just infuriating. The toe joins the resr of my body in the Powell out camp. Its time, surely?

7 defeats in the last 8 that is. Horrendous stuff and it’s simply nowhere near good enough. How is Powell still in a job?
We are weakened with players missing but we shouldn't be this poor. The most average Wigan side I have seen in years with a CC semi final next week. We are not playing anywhere near the wage bill.
Pace was always going to be the big problem tonight. As soon as the game opened up we all knew we'd be buggered. We all knew this was a very limited team.

Not a chance. They won't sack Powell after a defeat at Wigan, with several of your key players missing.
Anyone who brings up Powell out tonight is wasting their breath.
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....

New coach will at least have a decent run of teams to build momentum.
Powell has had his chance, he probably deserved said chance. He's blown it. That'll be galling for him, but frankly, i couldn't give 2 hoots about his feelings
