I expect nothing else from this team! They will be so determined to win the GF, like in the cup when we are in that mood we are unstoppable.

Still have every confidence in this team, i never expected a win today, and if it was the other way round and Wire had just played in that game at Wembley I would have expected us to do the same to them.

The most important thing is for us to win the first play-off game because a week off will do us a world of good.

We have took their Challenge Cup so they would obviously be determined to take our Leaders Shield.

I'm confident that we won't let them win in the Grand Final though

We beat ourselves today from the first minute to the hooter. I'm a realist and I know how good Wire are. They're first rate but they didn't have to play that well to win today and that's encouraging from our point of view. There was holes all over their defence and a 'proper' Wigan could take advantage of those.

If we pull ourselves together we'll go on and have a good crack in the play offs. If we don't then our season could fade away.

Either way 2011 has been another good year.

I could never see us winning today but I did not expect us to play as poorly as we did, we will not play that poorly again. Outclassed by a very good side on the day. We just never clicked.

I hope we rest the bulk of the team next week they look if not physically emotionally drained. A week off will freshen them up.

This.

Well done to Warrington, they took advantage of a Wigan team who weren't at the races; Whether that had something to do with Wembley or Warrington being very good (or a bit of both) we will never know.

We have come off the back of a really intense 2 mth period and what i do know though is that this was likely to come at some point, I am glad the kicking has come now rather than the final eliminator.

What the last few weeks have shown us is that Leeds, Sts and Warrington are going to be no pushovers and this should provide the ultimate tool to refocus the players of the task in front of them.

Saying this, regardless of todays result we still only need to win 3 games to become champs again. We have proved that we are capable of doing this over the last month against the same opposition, Wire still have to prove that they can back up in consecutive weeks against the best there is.

We would have lost against any of the top 8 today, and just about struggled through against the bottom teams.

Agreed, judging by how Wigan usually react to a defeat, it'll re-double our efforts and determination.

I said to my dad after the game if I were Maguire I'd tell the lads I'd see them in the morning for a warm down and then after that I'd want them resting until Thursday. Give them a couple of days off to mentally recharge and start again on Thursday. I'd give 5 or 6 of them the night off on Friday and by the first round of the play offs they should be fresh as daisys.

Guys like Coley, Prescott, Hansen and Lockers look shot today but it won't take much to get them right.

Strange seeing the comments about you were never going to win this game.

Plently on here was confident days ago Wigan's fitness and squad would cope and win today for a treble that MM wants.

How did Wire do the 2 games after winning the CC final. I remember you losing last season in Catalan what did you do the season before.

As they say its not over till the fat lady sings and the shield is still ours for one more game put this game down to a bad day at the office get over it, get your head back into focus and use the defeat to come back stronger which i am sure this Team are more than capable of doing this might be just the thing we needed to refocus the minds

Losing today is no disgrace. I am just disapointed with how much we gifted them.

It would have been a close game had we not gifted them tries.

Tries like Hansen popping the ball out for no reason and them scoring just hardly ever happen. Nothing went for us today.

Was very much like the Cup game.

Wasn't our best game like Smith said but we do have bodies to add to the side and sometimes you can be a little cold from a week off.

I think out classed is the wrong word. The better team obviously won but Wire didn't have to do much to gain the majority of their points. A turning point could have been when Tomkins found touch with a pass. Instead of 18 - 6 it became 24 -0.

was the guy in the orange shirt injured today..didnt see him on the pitch much today, so your guys looked a bit lost and out of touch....

Tony Smith alluded to it after the game. It is all about how a team starts in Rugby League. When we beat you in the cup we raced into a 22-0 lead, which in fairness you put yourselves in a position to come back into the game, but it was a too tougher task. Similar thing happened today, but just the other way round. Both Wigan and Warrington blow the opposition away in the opening 20 minutes. When they collide it can be just the bounce of a ball (error from the kick off) that can make all the difference.

the score could easily have been much bigger... you had 2-3 chances in the whole game.. and tomkins threw 2 of those away...nothing wrong with atkins try as well.

the turning point was deffo tomkins throwing a pass into joels ankles though.

you never got over that mistake and we pushed on from there... you could see wigan deflate after that.

when we got a big lead up today phil Clarke said 'its a wigan-esque' display from warrington........ and that was a big joke to us Warrington fans... because we have won loads of our games by blowing teams away in the first 20 mins all season.

Coooome on you 'ULLLLLLLLL

In that case we might as well forget the Play-Off finals and hand the trophy to Warrington today.

Warrington played well and IMO deserve to beat Hull on Friday and finish top of the pile but we constantly hear hot air from Wire fans season in season out ... lets see if you can deliver in the play-offs for once ... after all you must be favourites given your comments

In what way do they deserve to beat Hull?

If Hull play well and get more points than wire, will wire still deserve to win

Understandably I've not watched the game again (aside from the Gaz Hock incident and to hear Tony Smith's comments). Both teams are in the habit of doing it and both teams are very good at it. One difference between the two sides is Warrington's ability to keep up that consistency over 80 minutes and rack up a big score. Wigan haven't been able to manage it and tend to go into odd little 10/15 minute spells where we let the opposition back in it. That's where I have to be honest and say Warrington deserve the League Leaders Shield.

Wire were simply more enthusiastic and physical than us today and thoroughly deserved their win. Our pack took a beating and we simply didnt look like we fancied a tough game like that today.

Not too worried all in all I believe that if we have to play them again when the chips are down we can beat them or anyone else, as we proved in the cup.

But we didn't play well at Wembley either !
