Why were Kasiano and Walker on the bench until the last 10 minutes? Where the feck was Dufty for 70 minutes? Powell is a bell. Lost to a 12 man, average Wigan side. Again. The season has become a mess.

Thewlis should be an extremely proud young man however. What a player. I feel proud watching the lad. I think Bullock and Harrison. also had an overall good game.

I think he’s an awesome player for all sorts of reasons and his flexibility is so important in a squad of players, and he never, ever complains.


This week's quote from Darryl on his fave

Awful

If Drinkwater is fit next week Mata’utia gets nowhere near the 17. But Powell will not drop him.

He never complains, because he's stealing a wage

Clueless from minute 1. Only Thewlis and Harrison can hold there heads up after that one. Wire are a poorly prepared collection of individuals, not a team.

I know you get very wound up when you post during the games, but please try and think how offensive that remark might be to many people.

There is no point getting angry with each other or demanding Powell out or in. We wont influence anything on here. An absolute garbage performance and we have seen a lot on recent years.

Can we please realise that Powell is just not good enough, Wigan deserved to win but our whole structure, approach was so so wrong. So many mistakes.

I'm actually more embarassed by that than I was by the Saints 80-0, the Anderson era or anything from last year.

That was humiliating on every single level.

How much are we missing drinkwater? Contrast his pass for Ashton’s winner in the last round…

Thewlis our best player today.
Harrison and Bullock put a stint in.
Actually felt for Williams he was playing on his own in the halves, was many times you could see the frustration from him.

Powell out for me, I've seen enough and heard enough now of how we'll 'learn from this' for at least the last six/seven weeks but nothings changed. What more does a senior SL coach need to 'learn'? I can see the weak points from here, it doesn't take a master tactician. They look so unfit and bereft of ideas. More fool those who hearken back to March and say we can still 'do it'. We got lucky for a few weeks while the big boys were warming up. Now everything is hanging on the playoffs and the GF, and looking at today's showing, we won't perform with anywhere enough intensity to get the job done.

I don't get it, you can see Mata’utia isn't cutting it, so why not put Ratchford in the halves and shift the useless lump back to the centres. It couldn't have hurt our chances.

Because clearly the coach can not see that such is his love for all things Mata’utia.

Absolute embarrassment of a performance. We looked like we were new to the game, never mind played with each other before. Line speed is just not good enough, and has been for most of the season, and Powell should shove the panic button somewhere where our team cannot access it.

Abysmal from the kick off with 15 minutes of panic rugby to try & pull something out of the fire. Wigan ripping our defence to shreds & making big yards at will. Well done Wigan. Wire are the Great Pretenders.

I think we need to give more our young lads a chance at first team rugby. At least they can hold on to the ball & you can't fault their effort & enthusiasm.

Yeah you were poor today but you got done with that forward pass. They’ve been given all season, really don’t know what they see sometimes…

That must be some blackmail portfolio Mata'utia has on Powell.
In the pack, he's pedestrian
In the centres, he's useless.
In the halves......in the name of all that's holy, who the hell put him THERE.

OH, I KNOW.

It's mental. I've seen Ben Currie lift the cup from playing in the halves. But let's give 'Peanut' another week there after hardly setting the world alight last week.

Our pack is not as good as Powell said it would be. Ten minute Kasiano waste of space, Dudson poor, Ratch not a centre. At least we have one centre now that Wrench is back and our wingers are as good as any. Never been a Drinkwater fan. Saints/KR/Wigan have given young halves a real chance. Why don't we? Team seems to lack drive and youngsters often provide it.

Bad defeat & Lefty is back ... insulting individual players again .. history of it I'm afraid.
Not really fair but that's what you do when Wire lose.

you know this is a discussion forum?

Never been away, old chap
I simply now post on games I've seen.
The midweek "tittle tattle" between posters who know better , doesn't interest me. You'll never reason with them.

Nice to see you're still obsessed with me.
I used to have a stalker in real life. A nice looking girl, but I told her I wasn't interested, me being married.
Seems I've got an online one.

Sorry Lefty but I am not stalking you but over a few years I have spotted that you pick on individuals players & throw a bit at 'em and I'm not keen cos they can't defend themselves.
