Didn’t think we we’re that bad??
I rank it in one of worst performances I’ve seen in the last 10 years.
None existent Line speed. They were walking on us every set. Even after there second try (when you expect a response from us defensively) they waltz 60m with ease.
Clueless attack. Genuinely unsure what they are trying to achieve.
As usual no offloads or second phase until it was too late.
Wasn’t Hull KR missing there main man Abdul? And had a second rower and a young kid in the halves. Credit to them.
For me it was a very similar to the Catalan performance only we weren’t up against a red hot, more talented team.
What’s more concerning is this is our first choice pack (bar 10 minute Tony).
It’s been the same all season though, these last two games having been “out the blue”.
It’s not one of these, low energy performances against a lower table team either. We had all the motivation in the world after the embarrassment in France. And obviously back in front of the fans.
KPP two outstanding offloads were the only bright spot.
Dreadful. Need to put a statement out soon saying Lam won’t be retained as head coach.
Finished I stayed in and watched the 0-0.'"
I have just got back after a nightmare journey home due the junction on the M6 being shut. My son came over from Leeds to watch this as well and I only just got jim back to to Newton-le-willows to catch his train. He ain't a happy bunny watching that garbage.
As you say I have no idea why anyone can say they didn't think we were bad. Defensively we just let them have a go. No speed off the line. Never got in their faces. My sons amatuer team seem better coached than Wigan. He was saying if his lot weren't taking two paces forward the second the ball moved they'd get dropped! Our lot were stood still.
The attack was garbage and Powell? My God has there been a worse 9 at Wigan since the 80's? Can't direct the forwards to save his life and telegraphs everything he does. With him it goes like this 9 times out of 10:
Step 1. Plant feet
Step 2. Make a sorry and slow attempt at a dummy to the left.
Step 3 Pass the ball to the right.
This all happens in slow motion so the opposite are up before he gets to step 3. If anyone doesn't believe me I suggest you watch him in the next game and keep a count of how many times he does this.
