As a defender can steal the ball in the act of saving a try. The handover was the correct call.

I’m fine but thanks for your concern, the reason why we’ve played well against Wigan twice is that we have managed to get parity with there young forwards. I simply don’t accept mediocrity like most people 5 from 28 is simply unacceptable

well get ready cause there is only one place he’s taking us, why are you accepting it

It’s the spine that defines any attack and ours isn’t good enough imo. Walker hasn’t done a thing since coming from London, Hampshire & Jowitt are streets ahead. I’m not jumping on Walker as he seems low on confidence but the fullback role is key to any attack, especially when you’ve got a left edge of TJ and Bill. Imagine them on the outside of French for example.

It certainly wasn’t the forwards who lost the game tonight, they matched Wigan if not bettered.

All in all a decent performance and one we could have won.

Okay...guess I've learnt something new there then, I stand corrected....Cheers SC

Then we'll keep losing.

It's either we find the money to sack him, or we stick with him and end up relegated at the end of next season, then there's no money for anyone.

They absolutely would not have beaten the majority of teams with that performance tonight

Thanks SC, so you can steal the ball in the act of saving a try, with two in the tackle.?

Yeah, if stolen in the act of scoring the ball should be handed back to the attacker 10 meters out, unless it was the last tackle. It’s treated the same as being held up, and matters not whether there is more than one defender.

tbf Walker hasn't played that many games

Neither has French at Wigan.

As much as I hate Phil Clarke he was spot on with the Walker assessment.

We went toe -to - toe with one of the best teams in the league and people still aren’t happy. Jesus. Most people on here expected Wigan to thump us.

A few stand outs for me. One, Miller. Even though we lost that was his best game this year for me. Two, I think Crowther and Wood really compliment each other at 9. The timing of the pass for Arona’s try was spot on.

But we really do need to stop standing so flat at the opposition line.

Enjoyed the game tonight. The team on the field is not far off being competitive. Its difficult for Chester as he can never field the same team two games running however Jowitt needs to be first choice full back. We need an organising half back to partner Miller and a replacement for Kopczac who can break a tackle . The three quarters can match any in the league but without a half back to dictate the plays they are less effective. Very impressed with BJB since he came back . Lynne is making some good yards. Tupou had his best game of the season tonight and Pitts Westerman and Tanganoa have been our most consistent performers.

Miller dictated tonight. He was superb. We have weak links in the forwards. This is our issue most of all

Fifita ???

Agree with all that

Half of our forwards. Kopjack and westerman are past this level. Bad recruitment that weakens us over 80 min. They are lower league imo now

There were no weaks link in the forwards tonight, it’s clear as day its the spine that’s struggling

Westerman has probably been our best forward this year with the exception of Tanginoa, yes he’s at the end of his career but he certainly gives his all and gives us that extra ball handling forward

100% agree on that W1990

Yep, Westerman has been good, before Kopczak came he was getting played off the bench at Salford, I think it's time to do the same and start Tangata.

Walker didnt have ball taken off him, the second tackler in just stopped him grounding it

Yes Miller played well .. no he didn't silence the critics ! We had enough ball and field position to win any game.

Agree though crowther was superb as was arona kelpi and billy miller was ok but still not creating owt..the problem is its still another defeat 5 wins in 28 or 29 v sl teams no

We should of won tonighy we had more possession and alot of good field postion but couldnt score wigan go up other end and score as charlie63wildcat said

I thought we started a fresh set of six after, Bibby looked confused so reckon we got awarded a ball steal??
