Proud of the lads tonight!
A good performance against the best side in SL. Gifted them 3 tries with silly mistakes, but overall a much better show in both attack and defence.
Dobson's kicking game showed just how bad Moran and Orr were: every kick bar one split the winger and fullback. He's pretty good in defence too.
Of the forwards, I thought Logan was outstanding, and seemed to be on the pitch most of the game, too, except for the time he was flattened. Feca wasn't his usual self, though, don't know what was up with him. Even DV looked better in both attack and defence - not good, necessarily, but better than he has been. Lockers patchy again, some silly high shots and dodgy passes, but worked hard in defence, and a lovely pass to put Richards over for the first try.
I never expected it to be that close, but take out those 2 interceptions and Klown's bizarre decisions, and we could even have won!
Keep playing like that, and we'll win more than we lose on the run-in.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

we could have beat them if you took the silly penaltys and unforced errors we could have made the best team stains look very silly

Re: Proud of the lads toni...
Should have mentioned Ashton earlier, too, especially that try-saver early on. Good game both in attack and defence.
Re: Proud of the lads toni...
we're not going down if we continue to play like we did tonight.well done lads
Re: Proud of the lads tonight!
i agree we were better[did not get beat with as many]but to be honest we did not look capable of winning the game at any point.we got given a very dodgy try and if we are happy because we onlyLOST by so few i am afraid we are easily pleased.still maintain this the worst WIGAN side ever.what was the official[ha ha] crowd tonight

Re: Proud of the lads toni...
Old Timer, their last try was forward, cancelled ours, it was a great performance from the lads, we've been talking lack of effort, and schoolboy mistakes all season, tonight they looked half decent, certainly not crap!!!

I think the fact they took those three kicks at goal showed how much we were worrying them.caveman posted:you've got to put things into perspective!oldtimer posted:
