could not make the game today were we really as bad as it sounded on wish fm

Probably worse than it sounded, I am convinced those players didn't want to win. If they did they should be ashamed.

Yes we were that bad. Horrendous completion rate, trying to force the pass, stupid penalties. Dan Sarginson in particular had a game to forget.
George Williams was heavily strapped up from the start and Goulding as was Goulding after half time. I never criticise effort, but application and patience was very poor today.

Have we got a Sunday afternoon syndrome played 3 this year and lost the lot
Castleford
Wakefield
Bradford
If my memory serves me right this has been going on for a few years now perhaps Bilko will give more facts.

From minute one, Bradford looked as if they wanted it more. All 17 players showed little or no enthusiasm. Sarginson in particular had an absolute 'mare. Not really fair to single him out though as the rest were equally poor.

We never got going. We gave away 3 penalties in the first 3 minutes and things went rapidly downhill from there. It was the lack of effort off the ball that really killed me. I didn't see anybody push themselves any further then the very basics of make an attempt at a tackle if a player came near you or take the ball up if it happened to come to you. There was no support play at all (as evidenced when Ben Flower made a break and nobody got within 30 yards of him), no lads piling in to tackles, nobody busting a gut to chase a kick and so on.

We can pick out individuals all day (as I'm sure Sarginson will be) but that was appalling from the whole team. I don't think a single player came away with any credit apart from possibly Manfredi (who was no better then solid).

Worst performance all season, really hope that's our blip and it gives us a kick up the back side now because Salford is going to be a very hard game on Thursday.

As well as the 3 you mention, Wigan have also lost at Hudds and Leeds in West Yorkshire this season.
It would be interesting to know how long it is since this last happened.

Completely lacking in professionalism and respect for the opposition. Defeated by our own hubris, as we thought we just had to turn up to win today.

Bradford wanted it more today.

I would imagine some of these players are in for the hardest 3 days of their careers so far.

am i right in saying that wigan have lost every game in west yorkshire this season?

Cue on the rack time by the sound of things.

Credit to Bradford through, I can imagine a number of players wanting to put themselves in the shop window.

That is what I have just posted, Cheers.

apologies, i didn't see that.

Who was the player who got put on report for the Kearney incident? Didn't look much in it from what I could see, although admittedly I was in the away end so about a mile or two away from the pitch.

No, we beat Dewsbury in the Challenge Cup.

Think it was Sarginson. He put a swinging arm into Kearney while he was been held by two players. I thought he had given him a swinging arm in to the ribs but Kearney went off with concussion and will miss next week.

Thought we wanted it more today (which is credit to Lowes) seems to have brought some passion, aggression and pride in the shirt. As I said on our board, he's had same players as Cummins, but we look a different team. A wins been coming for a while.

Good luck rest of season, you brought a great following today (as always) and will miss the trips to DW.

Didn't see properly either, but the report on the SL site says Lockers.

Wish FM said it was SOL

He was spoken to as captain. The on report came well after the incident so was hard to tell who it was.

I thinks some games the players and manager say lets not bother today and think about the next game

I stand corrected , cheers

It's days like yesterday which are just one more nail in the coffin for some RL supporters love of the game.

It's all getting a little too much now with the poor standard of play, players and refs.

Quite simply put its a game thats on its knees asking to be put out of its misery.

Oh no, did you lose?

Your appearance just confirmed that we did....
