Nothing to do with hanging onto to a lead, just not good enough.

Outside of Hill no one in our pack has any go forward...

Gidley is past it, and was a laughing stock in the nrl for the last few years, has a limited passing game for a half, highlighted at the end of this game where he ignored an overlap to run the ball.

People moaned at me for mentioning his faults after the win at hull, but against a motivated and well organised defence, his weaknesses were exposed.

Evans in attack is like watching an under 9 player, has no idea of running at angles or when and when not to pass the ball. We might as well just stick a traffic cone there, I would hate to be a winger next to him.

We couldn't win the collision or control the play the ball


We actually looked like the Wigan side early season clueless in attack, credit Wigan they defended well but we didn't really test them.

A lls is not a bad end to the season, but to have been in both finals is tough to swallow.

It was t king that didn't make the pass tho Ron not gidly

Did somebody throw a Tomato at Gidley?



No smirk off Smug Smith.

Taking off Patton who was playing quite well.Wtf was Smith thinking + Sandhow for me can go back home.

T king is a kid who is on 20k a year, I expect that from him.

Gidley is a veteran on closer to 200k a year, when he was tackled by Gelling and smith at the end, if he passes the ball we score.

Well we keep the song for nxt year.

It's your year.... next year

100% correct!

I'm too disappointed to really post without being all doom and gloom,

But we managed to finish first over-the-counter season and have found that deckannpatton can step up to the plate as can t king. Which are huge positives ww can take from the season.

I remain optimistic for next season but think that this is one of worst teams we've had in terms of scoring on the wing, Lineham had a few opportunities more half chances than anything else tho and Russel even less!!

But congratulations Wigan deserved winners of that gf

The one man id expect to make the right call in finals is gidley but disappointed me big time.

Russell's not a winger and lineham must have the worst passing centre in the league.

from a neutral perspective i thought Gidley was one of your better players tonight. Its easy to look for people to point the finger at but imo it was the lack of punch in the pack aside from Simms and Hill is pretty non existant especially next to Wigan who had loads of go forward. If your going to point fingers tonight look no further than Westerman, made brain fart after brain fart and missed some bad one on ones.

Spot on.What I would have given to have seen Boyd,Tamati + Jackson on that field tonight + aside from Hilly the pack is crap imo.

Why the "Thugs" title by the OP, it was a gutsy display by Wigan whilst Wolves were all huff and puff in the second half. Might be your year next year, next year, next year.

The negative posting is ridiculous. Lineham was excellent bar one drop, Gidley should have passed it out near the end, put that was outweighed by many spot on kicks and tenacious defence, Sandow was excellent when he came on ( can't believe the idiot who posted to say he should have gone home!) We lost it in the forwards with lack of go forward, and it's no surprise with the players we had missing.

To those who are slagging the players off, you should be ashamed of yourselves. They put 100% in. There's always going to be a winner and loser. I'm gutted but no scape goats, we were so close again.

Every time rhys Evans got the ball I knew the attack was over or nothing would come of it. We've been carrying him all year and it cost us badly tonight. We need a couple of wingers but our completion and game management wasn't up to scratch tonight. Well done wigan (I hate you).

Your pack really fell short. Only hill busted any holes. Wigan really dominated in that area, every player was making metres after the collision, warrington didn't have this as much. Wigan had many more chance across the whole game and the scorline kind of flattered warrington. Wigan fully deserved to win, unfortunately. The wait goes on.

Gloss over it all you like but we've become known as the bottlers.Not saying the effort wasn't there but the fact of the matter is we cannot finish teams off in the big games + as I've already stated that was not the best Wigan team by a long chalk.2 lost finals in a season ain't good enough for this club esp the amount of money spent on players.

Maybe more people on here will see we need a bigger, more aggressive pack now. A classic contrast stood out - Wigan have Farrell we have Wilde.

Rather be runners up in Cup and Grand Final than mid table plodders.

Exactly. Rhys Evans offers zero attacking threat.

Agreed. We lacked the size tonight. If you add Westwood, Dodds, Currie and a fit Harrison we would have matched them.

When my team makes a grand final, I like them to win it. No good losing them, relentlessly.

Ahhhahahahaha.

All those Warrington trolls on the saints forum after saints lost. Never mind. At least you got the hub cap. You know, that bit of metal that was nothing when saints won it every year but now it's pride of place at Warrington hq.
Has any team ever choked in 2 finals in one season lols

How old are you? I remember when a single final was enough to buy a coach a new contract regardless of the result. This year we've won one comp, and finished 2nd in the other two. We have no Devine right to win anything, and history certainly shouldn't give us any expectations.

As for 'bottling' it: in the past fortnight we closed out against Hull to win the LLS, then beat our nemesis to qualify for the GF. Hardly the form of bottlers is it? You can't blame the fact we got beat by a better team on the day as down to bottling it: that's just a lazy, ill-informed view.
