wigan try forward pass?
fartown try huge 50/50 call

should be no try

good try for wigan

Huddersfield made it easy for Wigan.
Huddersfield have the ability, but went through the card on cock-ups.

OMG!! How many more forward passes from Wigan?? Is it Wigan at all costs this year? You played well but with the forward passes you had no chance.....

Poor for me. 200 miles away so forced to shout at the tv. Lunt should be dropped for that brainless penalty. Simpson leroy and hodgson very poor. Happy with griff, earl, o'donnell and fa'alogo!

Wigan defended superbly and deserved the win on that alone but we were our own worst enemies. Had enough ball to win the game comfy. Disappointing.

Get a grip you clown, we won this game in EVERY department tonight, massive defence, never say die, smart rugby with so many first team players out.

Not been this proud for ages...................... Well done boys.

I thought Fa'alogo was excellent for you tonight. Good tough game though.

Thought Griffin had a good game too, never stopped trying, strong runner.

Won't be many games this year as tough as that one, a very happy pie eater!!

Thought the score line flattered us but a good game, the way youre going you will be very hard to beat and will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season. Also very impressed with Nathan Brown's post match interview on Sky, no moaning or complaining, wish other coaches would take note.

Can't believe Lunt did that, grix looked dangerous but wigans defense was too good.
Before anyone slates hodgson tonight, he did some good things aswell tonight and was given some really bad passes.

Our attack was terrible tonight. We took so many poor options.

Wigan though played with a hell of a lot of desire and enthusiasm. They'll be tough to beat for anyone.

ATEOTD though you simply can't let so many chances go to waste against any side and Wigan seem to like playing at the Galpharm.

Brough had a great first half. Those kicks were causing us all sorts of problems.

It was frustrating, we didn't show enough urgency around the PTB in attack and Wigan's scramble was excellent.

Our 3/4's just didn't click second half and the bounce of the ball just evaded us on a few occasions.

We have to learn from this.

Sorry, but I really believe that you can't go into big games like this leaving out as many players as we did from last week.

Plus, when so many key players have poor games we stood no chance.

Wigan dominated the ruck and slowed down the play better than us. When we tried it we got penalised.

Oh, and I'm not being bitter with this, but the number of forward passes was ridiculous!

Wigan were the better team, so well done to them.

Lunt's penalty was just suicide.

That's the thing though, we had planty of chances to score tries but a combination of dropped balls, poor options and great defence stymied us. In the first half Fa'alogo sliced through and no-one followed him. Cudjoe made a break and passed right when he should have gone left, cudjoe dropped the ball in a great attacking position, Gilmour lost the ball inches from the line. Those are all chances you need to be converting against a side like Wigan.

Aye, no doubt we created and fluffed chances which then affected our composure.

We were caught cold at the start of each half and it gave Wigan something to focus on for the second half there when they got that lead. We flaked a little under the pressure.

Wigan were awesome in defence and with 6 players out too! Team to beat this season but I'm not to concerned as SL is played over many rounds. This will give NB an idea how we are progressing against the big boys and I think he will learn a lot from this.

To be fair - though I'm stuffed to think of a reason why I should be

- the Giants didn't play "badly", IMHO, tonight.

Both defenses were brutal throughout tonight, although I think the Warriors probably were just that little bit more so. That and the fact that the Giants didn't take there opportunities - or rather took the wrong option on a couple of occasions - was theonly real difference.

As much as I hate losing, especially to Wigan I thought it was a real battle tonight and minus some dodgy calls, poor errors and the fact that we weren't at our best it was a good advert for the game! Wigan's defence on their own line was faultless, they dug deep and always carried the more potent threat going forward. O'Donnell and Fa'alogo are really clicking now and you couldn't have asked for any more from our forwards tonight. Eorl looks so much better coming off the bench as an impact player, he looked really pumped up for it. Unfortunately though our backs let us down, apart from Grix who was magnificent once again. I really can't even remember who our fullback before him was! Some of the lads looked tired, maybe playing on Sunday and again on Friday against a terrific side was just asking too much. Special mention for Robbo, great to see him out there doing his thing and I thought he was ace. I'm not too down about this defeat, Wigan fully deserved it.

Lunts penalty killed the game IMO. Special mention to O'Donnell and Faalongo, they were superb for you guys.

I don't think Lunt has been right so far this season. I'm so glad to see Robinson back in the team, we have missed him and it will ease the burden of Lunt considerably. Wigan were great and the support you gave them was first class, hats off to you.
