Never choked A&L dodgy decisions from Canson re their first try and Longs try. Also tackle completed before Long pulled Joel T over touchline. Typical i know but thems the bad breaks as always. I feel gutted for the team who played their heart out till the very end.

we were the better side in the second half but two mistakes and a very dubious desission from agent ganson with the one eyed idiots tackle to put joel in to touch.

For me we should have took a bigger advantage of the wind in the first half, but ultimatley two mistakes cost us the game.

Didn't choke at all. Played till the last and on the wrong end of some very desisions. The Long tackle on Tomkins was complete and should have been a penalty our way. Gutted for them, didn't deserve to lose tonight.

absolutely gutted tonight

thought the players gave everything, but unfortunately not good enought

ON a brighter note the stains are on their way down. Fatboy signed for another season with fozzy bear coming back.

We'll soon be back where we belong

i must have been to another match tonight because i thought wigan looked mediocre.Apart from a good defensive display we were poor.Offensively we looked void of ideas again and what J Tomkins was thinking of near the end baffles me,that was amatuer.I agree that Ganson made bad decisions again but that didnt cost us.To many times passes went out to static players,especially the forwards.So with that in mind can someone tell me how you are going to break the line.Riddell was inept again and his distribution is shocking at times.And to make matters worse the stains looked bloody ordinary which concerns me.I love this club as much as anyone on here but they are not good enough.Watch the Aussie final tomorrow and then see how poor the game was tonight.

Totally agree with you i think we made some silly decisions at key times but i think saints defence for ten - fifteen minutes in the second half won them the game. Unfortunately we came up short again. Great atmosphere in the wigan end though - siging and bouncing from start to finish.
