This result makes it much more likely that we will finish 9th. There is a distinct advantage in finishing 9th rather than 10th.

Smith the whinger moaning about a dubious try! He wants to moan about the Warrington flippers! That's the only thing they do at the play the ball! Offside all night! What a load of nonsense.....I hope huddersfield beat Leigh, and the wire get new coaching staff...

Thanks Richard

Hiku had a good game, doesn't take any either.

You just cant be a fan of anything about Wigan's Style of play.
the latest tactic I've noticed them using across the team (previously only a pre NRL Sam tomkins tactic)is when the tackled wigan player sticks his leg out into the Warrington Tackler either by wrapping it round a leg or an arm and trapping the tackler in. It's simply trying to gain a penalty for a feigned holding down.

The usual Grubs did it last nigh O'loughlin McClorum and Bateman , but even baby faced Liam Marshal was doing it.

but just absolutely priceless when Bateman for No reason at all tried to Bitch slap Hiku and gave us the game.

Lets enjoy it but nothing to get carried away about...Wigan arent a good team.

And I've been threatening myself to type this for a few weeks now:
George Williams...............Is he the most overrated player on the planet...... I havent seen him boss a game all season... he'll have a nothing game then maybe take the line on and pop his nose through and score but I'm not so sure wigan fans can be happy with him other than they can crow about him being another Wigan born "superstar"

Did you not notice at least 2 of your players doing dramatic Oscar-worthy dives to win penalties? Swings and roundabouts isn't it.

And yes Williams is out of form but still one of the best halves in SL on his day. Still leading try assists in SL and top 10 for tackle busts and offloads and defensively can't fault him.

Also, did anyone else see Tomkins water the ball down with the water bottle before their goal-line dropout in the second half, in the hope that we'd knock on? Bet Sky didn't pick that up! Such a role model.

Didn't notice that. I would like a second look at the incident when Currie went through & was possibly tripped by Tomkins.

Yes that should have been a penalty but once again missed by the officials........

Ratchford copped a ban the other week for a "lesser trip" whereas Tomkins positively went out his way to trip/push/shoulder Currie out of the way.

Anyone had a look at the Wigan board about last night's display against us.

They are going into meltdown about their "boring" style of play.

So funny........

Crime of the century

I saw it different. He and Lockers were the better players and around them was the let downs...perhaps making them look lowsey.

I'm fairly sure pitch was sprinkler watered only on our side of the pitch just before kick off too.

ball tampering is a serious offence Imo and thats what it was its no different to playing pool and rubbing chalk off when hand it to opponent not illegal or against the rules just poor sportsmanship which I guess wigan are renowned for

It was almost a good game last night when a bit of rugby broke out from the boring niggle.

Wigan are like the rugby league equivalent of a Jose Mourinho association football team. Any little annoying tactic to gain an advantage they'll take. You won't notice it so much when it's your team (although as a Wire it does annoy me when Chris Hill does all that nonsense) but fans of the opposition do notice it and it's infuriating. Now there are players of all clubs (and Wire got sucked right into that game last night as we were doing it all over the park too) who do this but at Wigan it seems to be the lot of them and the worst two at it weren't even playing last night (Farrell and JTomkins).

The bad thing is whilst the once unwatchable rugby union tries to clean up their play so it's better on the eye; rugby league, with every extra flop, trapped limb, turtling, diving, pulling legs around that our sport does we are getting worse to watch and as a sport we're going backwards in many other ways so do we really need this one as well?

I'm glad the penalty count was so high last night, shows the game for what it was. The ref was good and it just shows you what kind of game it was, as it always seems to be with Wigan. When they have the quality not to play anything like that kind of game

It was the only thing he did of any note in the whole game. Pretty much anonymous for 80 minutes. He's a shadow of his former self since coming from the NRL & injury. The goons can't be happy having one of there marquee spots being used up by a passenger.

Don't worry, a lot of Wigan fans are bored with it and we do notice it - hence why the attendances are appalling. I've stopped getting excited for big games for a year or 2 now because you know you won't see entertaining rugby.

As for wetting the ball, I don't see the issue and wouldn't have any issue if any other team had done it. It's not like he coated it in something you wouldn't normally find on a pitch. Then again, some people believe wetting the pitch beforehand (something they do for latics games too) is cheating too.

He could have dealt with it a bit better by issuing them a team warning, they gave away 3 or 4 on the bounce at one point in the first half, never even gave them a talking to.

Your side of the pitch? What are you on about?

You're all talking like it was a massively one sided, disgracefully ill-disciplined display by us but the penalty count was 11-10

I came to say what most have already said. Last night was nearly unwatchable because of Wigan play. Nearly every tackle was cringe worthy, it's got to the point where you could penalise every set. A spot of niggle is almost inevitable from any side but that's not the case with Wigan, Wane can't moan about last night not being the 'wigan way' when it's been clearly coached and drilled into their play. You reap what you sew. No wonder their fans are frustrated.

You might have to re-evaluate that comment for next season

What I do like about Wane and Wigan, however, is the intensity of their games. One huge criticism I have of us - and SL in general - is that it's played at 3/4 intensity

The half with the Saints shirt under it.
