Missed mago off the bench. Genuinely lost for words when it comes to partington and shorrocks. Jesus. Dreadful bench that tonight

Cooper absolutely stunk the place out tonight but he most certainly wasn’t the only one. Cust was even worse, I’ve also decided Field can’t pass for toffee as well under any kind of pressure.

The skill gap in some of the percentages tonight was glaringly obvious.

We need to hit lead runners more often now Field is closely watched, three times we could of had a walk in but on each occasion it went out the back to Field and the attack died or it got intercepted

Bibby, Isa and Powell very very poor as was Farrell and Marshall. The video room will be interesting to say the least as Leeds exposed some serious weaknesses that won’t be an easy fix.

Cooper was bobbins and cost us a couple of tries. Clearly too early to bring him in to the team.

Mago was a big miss.

Im not too keen on Shorrocks myself. He tackles well and had some good games last year but let’s be honest, he’s not good enough.

I think we sometimes hype up our own players because they come from the academy, which is a good thing, but he maybe should he the next one we let leave when his contract is up.

Never been keen on himself mate. Not really big enough to play in the forwards his passing game is not bad but he has a very awkward running style which makes it hard for him to actually run and pass at the same time. Him and smithies are both 13 s both two completely different players tho

Cooper made one error and gave away one penalty. However he carried for 85 metres from 10 carries. Wigan missed 32 tackles in total and 14 errors far too many to win a game.
What was really poor was the fact that out of the seven tries conceded five came from either dummy half or one pass from dummy half. Totally unacceptable.
