Poor performance and well beaten. We need to draw a line under it and get ready for next week.

Well that was utter garbage. No centres and no idea in defence.

My son as many of you know travels from Leeds to the DW but has made few games this season due to the late night train service back being cancelled.

So he went along tonight to Leeds hoping to see an example of the new expansive Wigan team and some of the exiting RL served up by Field & French and what he got instead was that load of shit.

His reaction is unprintable.

He’s obviously local to the Leeds ground but anyone who travelled deserves a refund.

As to the selection. Cooper was obviously going to play but why make a straight swap for Mago? Why not ease him into his new team rather than make him the direct replacement for another senior prop? Daft idea when he can’t be familiar with the moves and plays or his teammates. Cust as others have said doesn’t look fit and KPP is doing nothing to get a gig down under. As to Isa and Bibby, time to look for alternatives. How long before Thornley is fit? He can’t be any worse than those two.

Agreed.

Diabolical tonight in all areas.

Without saying too much about the game ill say hopefully matty will wirld the axe on one or two next week…… just to show us he wont put up with a performance like that….. i agree the ref was abysmal and cust shouldnt be playing with one arm….. KPP centre next week coz he dont mix it in the back row…. Hopefully a massive turnaround next Thursday

If we react like that after a 60 point win there is something wrong. Just not professional, which that performance wasn’t.

Correct. We looked like we were passing a balloon full of water at times.
In fact I reckon we’d have lost with an extra 2 mate. Cust is playing with one arm in halfs for me. Scared of kicking scared of running and won’t demand the ball. Concerning
Cust looked well off it tonight.
That has to be on Peets head, shouldn’t be playing him
Agreed mate

Ha! And, I guess, no surprises there. But of course, a poor performance all round, too many handling errors, the passes didn't stick, Cust didn't look right, Field was snuffed out fairly effectively, Cooper made some clumsy errors early doors, but we'll forgive him for that, and so on. A bad day at the office, and I trust Peet to put it right. We are still on track.

Ok so awful across the board but I’ll pick up on a couple of themes that always surface when we meet a side who put a shift in

Centres we need proper centres not wingers - not second row - I hope kris radlinski reads this I hope he realises he’s a moron! And he needs to understand we need centres!!!!!

Also powell - yeah I know “he’s a great guy” “coaches must see something” “oh we’ve heard it all before” ok

At 35/6 mins incase you want to fact check please see below the images - we were on Leeds line starting the 2nd tackle and the images below are how the receivers of passes from Powell had to receive the ball this isn’t over the match this is 3 back to back passes


Pass 1

Be careful WiganForever.
You’ll be accused of bullying when your judging Powells ability as a player
