I counted 7 ex Wiganers in the Vikings team tonight, and all would be fired up for the game.
This is by no means any excuse or reason for the defeat as the Wigan players just didn't seem to turn up tonight and certainly didn't play to the conditions.
Lockers form seems to have dropped off which is worrying plus new heads back in from long term injury didn't help.

Me too TruBlue!! Very disappointing result but...wait and see. Very difficult to be optimistic at the moment. Suffering from SPMD (severe post match depression)at the moment. Battering Leeds will cure itTrueBlueWarrior wrote:I will reserve judgement till the end of the season!!

Re: Widens defeat
I went to the game and quite frankly it was like watching a bunch of amateurs rather than full time professionals. And that's an insult to amateurs.
We looked clueless, disorganised, uninterested.....
I'm not convinced by all the talk of losing games on purpose in order to secure play off positions etc.....
I do know that I don't rush around working all day, pay hard earned money to witness a performance like last night. I can accept a loss, you can't win them all after all, but we just weren't at the races, and haven't been for the last few performances.
I'll keep the faith....you have to, but if we continue to perform as such, I'm afraid it's season over.

“I didn’t sleep last night, I watched the game four times and did the review,” he told Sky Sports. “I’ve spoken with the players this morning and been quite honest with the players.
A recurring theme WORRYINGLY is these often used quotes
Usually this one POST MATCH
Usually this one a FEW DAYS LATER“They quite rightly won the game. They were the best team. They completed our sets better than us and they had 17 offloads so you can’t win games with poor discipline.”
These quotes were from a month ago but I think they have been used time and time again.“The players have been honest with me back. They understand where we need to improve and make sure the mentality we had on Sunday never comes back.
“We’ve shown that we can play. We went with our attitude not bang on. It’s disappointing. We had the chance to win the game and we didn’t close it out.

Re: Widens defeat
Sadly Saints are getting the LLS by default BUT lets not detract from the fact that that means they have been more consistent than the rest. How many of those other teams have placed emphasis on topping the table is questionable. I seem to recall the noises coming from Huddersfield last year was they would have swapped topping the table for an appearance at the Grand Final.Wigan_forever1985 wrote:I think Sky are much to blame for the devaluation of the league im not so sure about the leeds thing.

Winning the Grand Final means everything to all teams (sadly) nowadays and THAT blame HAS to be thrown at SKY

The biggest Room is the Room for improvement.
The best form of defence is attack!!
Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!
