Going to bloody need it the way we are playing, can't believe we are only 10 behind, truly awful. Talk about nerves, some of those players need to take a serious look at themselves at halftime.

Standard huddersfield playoff performance.

@rse dropped out again....

Aaron murphy has had a shocker.

You mean Murphy that everyone else thinks should replace Grix???
How ironic.

same old bad habits basics people on here that have been posting winning is all that matters well tonight shows how wrong you are.

An abject lack of effort tonight. Allowed themselves to be bullied. Running in with no energy, drifting about in defence. Like rabbits caught in the headlights. Frankly, these players have let themselves down. They should be embarrassed to end the season like this.

Let's be honest, there's a fair few players in our squad who simply lack the bottle to win. Too many happy to coast along coming third as if that's still an achievement.

The whole club is like that. Happy go lucky. Lacking ambition. Happy to make excuses rather than change and improve.

Well I suppose I save myself 40 quid then.

What an embarrassing end to the season. All the pundits proved right again.
Losing isn't the issue its the nature of the way we played. Wigan were average-we were awful. Sick of doing this in playoff rugby.
Brough and PA very honest in their interviews at the end.

There'll be a few people saving £200 and odd quid as well after seeing that. We just brought nothing to the table tonight.

Glad to hear that Anderson isn't happy with that.

But what will he do about it?


It's time to or get off the pot.

On the plus side I was worried about the Missus spending any time in Lancashire, given how pregnant she is.

Imagine that. An accidental Lancastrian child. I wouldn't know what to do. How could I look it in the eye, knowing what I'd let happen to it.

Disaster averted!

Cant believe that the great season we've had was building up to THAT 'performance'.
We choked yet again at the final hurdle

don't mind losing but that was just abjectly poor.

Bailey for Leeming was a very poor decision.

But generally that was just shocking, shocking,shocking.

That was completely embarrassing.

Finished third, embarrassed in the Cup, abject in the semi final.

Pots won - none.

Off the field - another year of stagnant crowds.

That's not a great season. Nowhere near a great season. It's a disappointingly mediocre season. This isn't 2003 anymore, the club needs to set its sights higher.

To get over the final hurdle you need to keep getting into the position year after year and eventually one time it clicks.

Grand final semi in 2010, not in 2011 and 2012, yes in 2013, not in 2014, yes this year but i'm betting not next year.

Wigan have just under a 50% win ratio in grand final semis, but they've made a grand final semi every year for the last 8 years. It's about consistently year after year putting yourself in that position to carry through the momentum and experience.

I blame Sam Burgess for the defeat.

Lol!

You shouldn't have worried there are plenty veterinary clinics in Wigan she would have been fine.

I agree 100% with your post but can't shake the ever present feeling of pessimism that we have probably peaked as far as we are able to under Baloo.

He's been a great coach but I think that hes run out of ideas. Im not calling for his head but perhaps we could bring soneone in with more experience to advise him, a la Wakey and Salford. Controversial i know but perhaps its the only way to get the team to the next level.....

Anderson ain't happy but it is Anderson who picked the team. No good reason to change what was working. Bailey for Leeming was a joke, Ferres selection caused huge disruption both on attach and defence. Ferries jogging about lazy in defence while Bruno and Ta'ai sat on the bench was where An ordinary Wigan performance saw them get on top.

He was as bad in attack wtf was that kick?

Not Ferres fault though, he was clearly not ready. It seems our coaches simply did not trust Leeming and Smith, they should have done so. That shambles was all about leadership, or lack of it.

Frasnkly your post is rubbish. To suggest that having Leeming or Smith in would have had any effect is laughable.

Leemimg is a longer term project he is Not Cameron Smith.

Smith is a project as well who needs to develop.

There are far more fundamental errors that need to be fixed.

We were beaten all over the park today from 1 to 13.

There were many players who had bad games with special mention to Connor wardle and Murph who had shockers.

Schoey called the whole team out saying Hudds are a bunch of bottlers and didn't have it in them to get to the big dance. You totally blew it with in the last 10 mins last week and your ar$e completely fell out from about 2 minutes in tonight as well.

Schoey is completely correct. You can't really argue other wise.

Just to highlight Kopczak on the fourth tackle about 10 meters out when the game was still in the balance could of taken the tackle to set up a good last tackle option. Instead he throws a hospital pass to Ellis who knocks on. Kopczak try's to make up for his silly play. He then gives a penalty, the set from the pen he gives another penalty and Wigan score.

3 acts of utter dumbness that contributed to an epic fail. Demonstrating a total lack of big game temperament.
