Agreed, I enjoyed that game, gutted about the result but onwards and upwards. Fair play to Wigan no major complaints from me about tonight.

Bowen still one of the best full backs in super league
Burgess for me the best winger in super league and tony smith agrees apparently
sarginson - good club man thats it could excel
Gelling the best centre we have had since carmont, people won't credit him because of how green he was before this season
Charnley one of the best wingers in super league
Green the best stand off in super league
smith best english scrum half in super league
Flower rate him the best prop since craig smith, other teams fans won't rate him but he smash people and makes yards all the time
McIlorum say what you want but one of the best hookers in super league and theres a reason people in the game rate him highly
probably the downfall but Taylor when in form is a quality prop
Farrell one of the best 2nd rows in super league
Joel Tomkins far from average need to see how he carries on after returning
O'loughlin Best player in super league

That 1-13 is far from average no matter how much you trying to use "they work together but are average individually" coping mechanism

Can't let the Flower being average comment go.

Dudson is awful (a bag of wind) but Flower is our best prop forward. Crazy comment.

Also Burgess could be very special.

Wrong thread Troll

Terrific game, sad there had to be a loser.... Wire had their chances to win...

Re comments further up, If we are getting weaker, where does that put everybody else?

Gutted we lost but that was a game that I felt we really had no right to be in a winning position, even with the score so close we found it difficult to get out of our 20 never mind half. We had chances but silly play and lack of composure at crucial times was costly.

Memories of the challenge cup semi where Leeds were too physical for us and wore us down, tonight we managed to keep in the game till the last minutes and could have snatched a win.

troll? you need to look up the meaning fella

its a boy or a man.

Why do you troll on every forum?

ok boy

I think you're being a little narrow sighted and disrespectful there Saddened. As you mentioned, O'loughlin is a special player and, quite rightly, regarded as possibly the best 13 in the game. Green has just been headhunted by Melbourne and has a great partnership with Smith who, himself, is most people's choice as England 7. Charnley is an established International who has been on the NRL radar for several seasons now and Burgess is frankly one of the best prospects in the game. Already called up to the England squad and now also sought after down under. The back row is the best in SL and would grace most NRL teams. Are you seriously suggesting that Farrell and Tomkins, let alone last season's YPOTY John Bateman, aren't individually any good? Really? Like him or loathe him, McIlorum is again an established international and, again, highly rated by the Aussies. I could go on (Pettybourne and Bowen were both plying their trade in the NRL to great effect last season, Gelling has just made the OPTA team of the year, Sarginson a YPOTY nominee etc.) but I think you get the picture. Wigan are indeed a well coached team. However it's a team made up of some very good players!

Bentham what a useless git he is.

Really enjoyed the game tonight but the Wire were shown up as not the finished article & Wigan just about deserved the win . Still ,very good for a transitional season & thanks for the memories Wire & good luck to the lads who are leaving. Pleased to see Roy's improvement continuing & the coaching staff need to be working on a Plan B for next season.

Well done Wigan !

2015 the year of the wolf

Putting all the bickering and my scrum half is better than your scrum half comments to one side.

Well played for last night. I thought it was what a play off game should be. Close, intense with two teams battling to get to the final. During the game I thought it was going to be your night and felt there was a little bit of luck going your way. I think you possibly lacked a bit of composure in the last third. At 12 all we gifted you several sets near our line.

It was one of those games where both teams would feel they deserved to win. Certainly neither deserved to loose. Good luck for next year.

Nice to see a game refed well not like that idiot silverwood in Catalan game. Bentham made for a good game, well done Wigan enjoyed the game

Came to watch the game back this morning as was at a wedding all day yesterday and my Sky box says the recording was failed due to a power cut. D'oh!

Warrington got bullied as I expected.

Disappointed with the end result. But a decent season from a side that is Tony smiths worst ever squad.
We should be a bit better next season with a bit of mongrel added in from Simms.

my ref moan. ....He got all the big calls right but whats the point if he ignores what's going on at the play the ball. ..he got praised for penalising a hand on the ball in the ruck once. ..once ffs.

my Wigan moan, Tony Clubb..() When finished giving it the big man with myler o brien and Higham why did he not feel the need to try it on the big men.

My shaun wane moan what decisions given against Wigan "were strange..". You talk Crap you really do what an ungracious winner. We got a variation on his" I don't mean to be disrespectful but..."he never fails.

A good game for any spectator to watch its a shame only wire and Wigan can serve up these games.

That was a great game that could have gone either way. Both sides lacked a bit of composure in the last 10 minutes. Had Lee Briers still been playing Wire would have won. Had Sam Tomkins been playing Wigan would have won with a few more.

How anyone can fail to be impressed with a game like that is beyond me, it had everything.

At the game I thought Bentham had a mare but watching it back I think the majority of calls correct.

Now for the U19's Grand Final, if it's half as good a game we're in for a belter, enjoy.

Nice one, good points well-made I would say.

McIlorum has to be the most overrated player in living memory.

Utterly ordinary and showed it again last night.

Tomkins never really did much against us. I did think at deadlock going in to the closing minutes this is the point of the season where we will feel the loss of Briers, as if he'd been in the team he would have most likely hit a drop goal from anything up to 40 yards.

However you have to say credit to O'Loughlin for going for the try out wide, it's one of those things where it should look obvious that when a team is crowding in focusing on a kicker there could be opportunities out wide but in that pressure situation not many players would have the balls to do it.

Once again O'Loughlin comes up with a play in a big situation, and remains underrated by many, same story as Sinfield really.
