he should have/could have put pat in under the sticks if he'd passed........in 1st half.
but he did 1 good thing tonight..........he told the ref the rules.
we kicked a grubber around half way line..it bounced off ref........ball went to quins.......ref blew up, as per rule.......and gave a scrum to quins........after sams ear bending he changed his mind and gave feed to wigan

true..........players switched off, fans switched off...........was like the dominant days in the 80s.........get on top...go through the motions.
i commented to my young daughter at about 36-0........"its ok watching us run in tries, but after a while it gets boring, and i prefer tight games like the saints game"

Letting them score was the sickner, though Child did his bit in terms of keeping Quins down there.'"
I think that is pretty much how I see it. We could have scored another 42 but decided not to.
We did decide not to let them have the last word and the last try we scored at the end of the game was IMO something the players wanted to do and to get over 50 but prior to that I am sure the orders were to take it easy. I suppose that's playoff football for you.

We're getting better each week but are still a way off our best and need to improve. That doesn't worry me though as it'll come but maybe it should worry the rest of superleague. We've been a way off our best this season whilst Saints, Huddersfield and Wire have taken the plaudits yet if we win our game in hand guess who'll got top?
Top whilst playing way below our best.......watch out superleague.'"
I agree about the standards bit.
My friends laughed at me for going crazy when Quins scorred.
We should have kept them scoreless tonight and letting them score is simply not good enough.

It's certainly correct that's it's my opinion and your opinion holds no larger standing than mine so we stick with that.
I really though, do believe they are the better Rugby League team - not in any way do I like that or want it but I believe it to be the case this year

| Very dissapointed with the second half, I expected us to push on and rack up 70-80 points which we should have been easily capable of against a terrible Harlequins side. I thought with the game already won Finch had his chance to really shine last night but failed to impress in the second half.

They did but that was nothing more than a bad day at the office.
If we win our game in hand we go top.
Hardly a ringing endorsement for what some are describing as a dominant Wire side is it.
I can't believe some Wigan fans have been sucked into the year of the wolf BS.

| You dont get any trophies for sticking hundreds of points on crap teams who have thrown the towel in. Winning most games and winning knockout one off matches is how to do it.
Would you rather win 60-0 away to Salford then lose at home to Hull 24-10 or win 32-16 away to Salford then beat Hull 14-12?

| Whilst Wigan did take their foor of the gas in the second half, I think we should give Quins a 'little' bit of credit for tightening up their defence and making a game of it for 50 mins (albiet a pretty boring one). They were staring down a 80-90 nil defeat at half time and their players wiped the board clean and started afresh with a bit of determination and pride. No doubt ther coach will be using this '6-12' defeat in the second half as a positive to get their players mentally right for their next game.

I think you're right, but with even a little bit more effort I reckon Wigan would have scored another 30 points easily.
I don't know where I stand on this 'ease off once you've won' thing. It's all very well to save energy for next week, but we are still behind in terms of match-points. An 80-0 wipeout would have gone some way to readdressing that.
What was odd was that Wigan seemed absolutely determined to prevent Quins from scoring. They were furious when they conceded that late try. But to me that's a bit ridiculous. The best way to attack is to defend. Get down the other end and rip into them. While you're clocking up the points, they aren't.
An easy win turned out to be quite frustrating for the fans, who were expecting a big show in the second half.

| if you seen the way we played tonight you would be a lot more worried than you actually are. im sure if i seen you play in that 30 minute spell i would be more t but when it comes to big games it helps a lot more when you have got that killer instinct to play the full 80 minutes. if you ahve a good thirty minute spell against us your not gonna score more than 3 or 4 tries you drop off the intensity level trust me against us,leeds or saints then you're going to get punished and i can't wait for that to happen (if it does lol)

Finch was excellent in the fist half especially his link with Hoffman.
Carmont then went off and Hoffman went to centre, then Mickey Mac went off to be replaced by Deacon and Tommy went to hooker. That's when Wigan became disjointed.
Neither Carmont or Mickey Mac returned, and I'm sure that's where the problems were.
Do fans really think that Tommy is a better 9 than Mickey Mac?

And I think you need to be a little less recklessly confident.
You played no-one last night, as did we. Those games were both pretty meaningless in the end.
And it's a big assumption that just because we took the foot off the gas when we were 42-0 up against Quins, we would do the same against you. And I'm not sure why you bring Leeds and Saints into it. We've already beaten Saints and we drew with Leeds even though we were dreadful.
Don't be one of these supporters who imagines that just because his team can obliterate those at the bottom end of the table, that makes them top dogs. You're top dogs if you battle your way through the play-offs and win the Grand Final, something Wire have never in the Super League era looked capable of doing.

| last nights game was really like watching paint dry... I can see why some are disappointed we didn't rack up more points but at the end of the day it doesn't really make much of a difference come the end of it. If we're in the Grand Final come October I'll be more than satisfied. That's what matters at the end of it all.

To be fair she was probably sat in the South Stand and couldn't see them laughing.

Play for the full 80 in the big games? You mean like we did against Saints on Good Friday or like Wire have consistantly failed to do in the playoffs? Racking up a shed load against a second rate team is no indicator of what will happen in the big games. Stupid post.

Do it when it counts. Sticking 60+ on the poorer relations in Super league will get the numpties on Sky frothing but it won't do you any good in the playoffs. Come back when you've won a Grand Final
