Wishing death on someone even in jest over a rugby game shows a certain lack of brain cells.

We lost this game because we were poor. Nothing to do with the ref.

Barrie McDermott is touching himself under the commentary table I think.

Dreadful again, just when I thought at least it’s one game and they’ll be no long term affects Smith loses his head like that.

Top spot gone now I think and probably top 2, we need a total reset and try and win it from 3rd

Give Smith 8 matches and be done with it. No fan of Bentley but doesn’t matter who it is, no need to attack the head and definitely not in the current climate. Over to Farrimond to lead the team now for me. Big shoes to fill but the team needs an injection of something. The last month has been garbage in how we’ve managed player fatigue and workload.

Hardly big shoes to fill. Smith was being carried by French and his recent form wouldn’t get him in St Pats first team.

Oh there's no jest whatsoever ever in it.

As far as I'm concerned, they are all a bunch of corrupt criminals

Asking him to lead the team at his current stage of development is a big ask regardless of Smith’s current and recent form. He’s done it for all the team’s he’s played for though so just chuck him in and see how he does. A bit of a maverick at 7 might help get us out of a very serious slump in form.

The substitutions were poor, for a team half gassed I find it inexcusable to flog lads who have played long minutes in recent games. Mago, Walters and Byrne should have played the bulk of the game. We signed a whole bunch of forwards because we knew we would be in this position but chose not to use them! The Smith incident is inexcusable, game gone no need to do it.

Shows your stupidity then.

Embarrassing “fan”.

Think he's been on the pop

Had his first sniff of bar man’s apron hopefully sleep it off and realise what a stupid few posts he’s made.

Genuinely feel sorry for you if you are being serious and you are not half cut.

What a sad existence you must have if you think it’s ok to carry on like that.

We lost the game because we were rubbish. Wishing death on an official isn’t acceptable in any way shape or form.

Need to have a word with yourself.

Not the first time he's done it on here either. What does he need to do to get banned?

We were rubbish.

Smith was stupid and has possibly cost us the LLS with a suspension inbound.

The Leigh game should have been played over the blank weekend at the end of June, but player fatigue/welfare came 2nd to a reserve grade international against a country that have walked away from hosting the World Cup.

Embarrassing this

Even more petulant than Harry Smith, and that’s a high bar

Shiïte.
That is all

I honestly wouldn't have been too bothered with the result or performance today - I'd have snapped your hand off if offered two wins out of the next three following the Warrington game and it was clear there was just nothing left in the tank. We've played every game you can possibly play this year with the WCC and the CC final and now three games in nine days. Being joint top off the back of all of that with six games to go and French back soon isn't a bad position.

But to be as immature and petulant as Harry Smith was is completely unacceptable and could be very costly to our season. It could well be a 3-4 game ban and with our other injuries in the spine it will make the top 2 a difficult task. There are times when you have to man up a bit, take your medicine and live to fight another day. This isn't the first time Wigan players have shown this immaturity by any means. Plenty of red cards across Peet and Wane's tenures in either high pressure situations or when egos are hurt.

7 more years of this to look forward to, Mr Pollard was right to give out only 1 year rolling contracts, Lockers & Lulu really aren't up to Wigan standard coaching wise and once Briers goes to the Saints they will be unstoppable for many years to come again, I'm afraid we need two new top class assistants and possibly 4 or 5 players changed, Toby King for Keighran would be a good start.

Smith's petulance was in evidence right after Moore said to him: "are you the captain?" when he asked who was offside for the Wardle disallowed try. I think his pride was a little wounded over that. Not an excuse, just went from bad to worse after that. I think he was frustrated with himself and the team all game.

On the plus side, the yellow card for Keighran allowed us to shore up that right hand edge with some fresh air

Absolute clown you sunshine

That was shocking for me far worse than the wire or even Hull game as for Smith well let’s hope he learns the error of his ways

Wish we still had King. Offered far more than Adam Keighran does. Just my opinion tho. Thoughts?

I take your point and, as fans, we don't like to see any loss....

As it stands we still could retain LLS by winning all our games and well. Its time to get some magic from Farrimond, Field, French and Forber, (or we are f'ed

)

It’s not all over yet. We need to get players rested, too much has been asked of too few. Hindsight is a great thing but Peet &Co. could have chosen to freshen our team up today with a view to bringing our big hitters back next week. At some point we were going to hit a brick wall, my worry is that we will see the same next week.
