it puts us back in our place a little our aim should be top 8 (not top 4 just yet) with results on weekend we are only 4 points away from 9th! its going to be tight and we need to keep wining the games we have to (eg the bottom 4 who we have beat)

Listened on radio only - it seems that were penalizedout of game in the first 50 mins- not sure if it was a case of our discipline or a home team ref display which I am tipping - the so called BIG teams always seem to get the 50/50 calls.

watching the highlights our defense was shocking.......
our Attack not been brilliant all season and we need to step it up to compete with the big clubs.

3rd now - still would have taken that at start of season though.

must win now against widnes.

Tomkins and O'Loughlin ref the games every week! No change there.

Yes, big let down for me was shipping in 30 points and instantly doubling our points against for the season. A real wingers game regarding the try scoring. You've got to say that, as far as scoring goes, BJB jus gets on with it week in week out.

Down to earth just in time for another 4 pointer crucial game v Widnes.

Save me some money not getting the 2 Monday morning rugby papers for the 1st time this season.

We lost the match where I thought we could win it - better pack in the middle. Wigan do what they do and you have to deal with it and not give them the chance to milk penalties.

Wasn't happy with officiating but will have a look at the disallowed efforts again. Must have been very marginal calls on the two forward passes.

Just to get it out of my system.
What the hell is going on with players jumping to the floor to try and gain penalties, as the they've been shoved to ground.
It's becoming like bloody football.
I know this happens every week but, Wigan must have had a couple of full practice sessions on this, cheating *****

You can't wait can you, do up.

I was proud of the boys performance yesterday Wigan is a hard place for any side to go and win. I disagree with all the key board warriors claiming Trinity’s bubble has burst, we were competitive throughout the 80 and had the officiating been of a higher standard the result would have been closer. Wigan edged it for me as they seemed to be able to shift the ball to the winger much more quickly than we could. That said, they got key calls from the ref at crucial times which clearly influenced the game. Tony Clubb should have seen yellow at the minimum, a closed fist swinging arm to the head is bad enough, but to then drop on the player after is disgraceful play.

The main thing from this defeat is to learn from it and respond accordingly.
We didn't get a good hiding and seems from some of the comments that we could have won, although the general opinion seems to be that Wigan were the better team.
History now, onwards and upwards let's get behind the team for the Widnes game. 5 from 6 won't be too bad will it?

Bad day at the office, some mistakes made, but positives to take as well. The true test now is how we respond on Saturday. I Think we would all have taken 4 from 5 if we'd been asked at start of the season. So bring on Saturday and lets get back on the winning streak!

You do realise that there are only 5 games played so far don't you - how far clear of 9th would you expect us to be???
We're only 2 points away from 1st.

Get a grip! #GlassHalfEmpty

If we can do a job on Widnes, everything is good.
Not too many sides will go to Wigan and come away with the points.
Fortress Belle Vue with some victories on the road is plenty good enough.

Bring on the Chemics !

The guys either a Cas fan troll, or needs a personality transplant like my good self

We won't win every game. No one does. We could lose eight games and make the four! If you looked at the fixture list, you would tick Wigan away as one of the likely losses. Yesterday is no big deal at all. We're winning the games we should be winning, and that is something we never used to do. We used to get in trouble in years gone by because we'd beat Saints away or something but then lose all the four-pointers. Win the games we ought to win, and get the occasional unexpected win and we'll be just fine.

What about Arsenal in the 2003/04 season?



Jokes aside I agree with the rest of your statement.

I think this nicely summarises what the level headed fans feel.

They did not win them all, they just did not lose any


Jokes aside I agree with you both.

Pleasantly surprised yesterday, the way your pack has beaten us up on the last few meetings I was fearing the worst.
I sit behind the goals so couldn't comment on the forward pass decisions or the Escare offside call, no idea if they were right or wrong.
Overall an enjoyable match made better with the result, injuries dependent I think both teams will be there or thereabouts.

I thought you edged yesterday and were well on top for a good chunk of the 2nd half. Your interchanges seemed to have the greater impact as well.

Question for you though - are you buying there were 11000+ in the stadium yesterday because it looked very sp

A man after my own heart, that was the only downside to last season. Cost me a small fortune.

..if the Sky team can get away commentating over the phone (Catalans v HKR on Saturday) then you have nothing to worry about Adam

No chance, I think they count season ticket holders whether they turn up or not, I'd have guessed 8/9000ish.

Watching it on Trinity tv, no way was the first disallowed try a forward pass. The atmosphere was electric from the Wigan fans, stadium was rocking

10 minutes at the least, watch it on Trinity tv, definitely some strange calls in the second half.

The result and tough calls on the 2 forward passes were hard to take even though I thought Wigan just about shaded the game overall. I think their professionalism knocked us from our game for a time in the 2nd half, Tomkins and O'Loughlin were in Kendall's ear virtually the whole time, Grixy's knee in the back, the shot on Miller, the disallowed tries, you sensed it just wasn't gonna be our day. They ran in a few cheap tries in the meantime and it's a mountain to climb but credit to our boys for trying to get back in the game.
Well done to the numpty who pelted our bus on the way back, think it was eggs, never known anyone do that when they've won?
Onwards to Widnes at home, let's get back on track.

Spot on.
