Wats hapening at the JJB???? We only get bits and pieces down here but to throw away good leads two weeks running is unacceptable. When will these players become accountable for their performances.. Looks like Maurice needs to get the cheque book out for next year and by signinging aussies who are over`the hill!!!!

I'm bemused, once again, by the Man of the Match votes on here. There are Wigan players with average scores over 6, whereas someone's scored Huddersfield with 3's and 4's (probably not far off in that). Based on the 80 minute performance, no Wigan player deserves more than a 5. Some deserve 2 or 3 at most - can anyone tell me what Stephen Wild's contribution to the match was, for example? Guisset was pretty anonymous and he was hardly the only one. Ok, I'm basing this on just the match without seeing it in close-up on Sky, but for Tickle, who was probably our best player, to have an average of 7.17 or some such thing means some people are giving out 8's and 9's as player ratings! Whoever you are, can I suggest a visit to your local optician?! You're obviously watching a different version of the sport to me to be able to be so generous with your votes!

Sorry Fraggle I thought Guisset was by far our best forward on the night, and put in a lot of defensive work as well as making yards forward.

18 - 0 after 15 mins gave us a great start, and we were well up for it at this time. The problem came when Huddersfield scored their 1st try. Our confidence went completely and we didn't play for the rest of the game. I don't know what DB's half time team talk contained but it wasn't inspiring! We were garbage in the 2nd half, and Vaeliki doesn't deserve to wear the shirt anymore.

I agree with your comments though on the match ratings, as none of them deserve more than 5!

Forever the optimist :eusa17:
