I don’t think they were excuses as such, more like comments as to how good Catalan played the game.
Exactly Josie, Peet said we were beaten by better team(s), That's not excuses.

The serial moaners appear to like losing for some reason.
Examples Wigan win v Wakefield and Cas hardly more than a page or two of comments on here.
Wigan lose to HKR (12) and Catalan (17) pages

I don't understand it.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be criticism but it's totally disproportionate.

We never know who is writing whatever under your name! Why can he not join the site under his own name or alias??
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

My husband writes all of the comments for future reference and he played and coached rugby for 30 years and has followed Wigan for over 50 years and still does and just gives honest opinions on this forum

As it’s been said on here before the HKR and Catalan game were televised so there’s gonna be more comments.
Can’t really make many comments on something you haven’t watched

They are reasons and honest reasons, we were beaten by a better team on the day against KR and outcoached making a better team against Cats!

Excuses are, we had injuries, we were tired, the referee wasn’t good enough etc.

Boo Peet out, he's living of Maguires legacy. Just a team full of square pegs in round holes.
Lam just wasn't given a chance
Down with IL and KR
I played rugby for 50 years I know better than a paid coach.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.
