Quick, vacate the field, get on the bus and get back to Belle Vue because this is as good as it gets

The comebacks on!

I suppose if it stays 18 6 Applegarth will say we are making progress but the truth is Wigan have not broken sweat and we have been lethargic.

... and Wigan score again. Still, at least we had a few minutes of faint hope, more than we have had for a while!

Wigan have rested a couple of players too and used their Academy lads off the bench.

Hull look like they’re going to get their 3rd win of the season against The Giants

Well it's over now.
Can't say 'so near ,yet so far'
More like 'never near,always far'

I would go with the justification scenario confirming we are getting closer to that corner. I guess if all teams only have 12 on the field against us it would help.

Well not as bad as I was fearing, and at least those hardy souls who went had something to cheer.

The problem is, it should be near, but we keep throwing it back.
Two tries directly from dropped ball on our own line.
I don't know how you solve that. It isn't coaching, that's definitely a player thing.

Something to build on

Up the Trin

Think that sign seals and delivers us to the championship. No way are we getting 4 wins this year.

Better end result than expected but lets be honest, we were never really in it, another half on the board where we didn’t score and the sin bin certainly helped us. Can’t doubt most of their efforts but they are, bar a few, severely limited in ability and i’m afraid the coach is unable to make them better than the sum of their parts. The Hull result is a major blow, Cas aren’t far away from a win and we have a trip to Warrington to come next. We are cooked.

We won the second half

Respect to everyone of them from me

I didn’t expect a win and don’t against Warrington.
The damage was done in previous games.
You’d have to be a bloody big optimist to believe we’re staying up now I’m afraid. The sooner it’s over the better!

10/10.

I felt it was all a little bit “meh” Wigan didn’t get out of 3rd gear because they didn’t have to and we continue to make the same basic errors that give away field position and possession.

I think the Miski try was in touch and the Havard try was comical in how bad it was.

We contained their strike players well but ultimately it was a drab and pretty lacklustre game with not much to get excited about from either side.

Well just got back from Wigan, what a lacklustre awful, boring game. Wigan controlled it yes but they were very disjointed in attack and didn't really convert the field position they had. We tried and had a dig but we simply lack quality but above all we lack pace. We create nothing and our game plan just seems to be side to side and easy to defend against. Proctors first spell was atrocious and he was blowing after 2 minutes atoni none existent. I thought pitts was our best forward with whitbred second. Bowes and eseh had a good dig but I just fail to see how we will score points. Our backs look slow, sluggish and lateral, lino offered nothing and the one break we did make through pitts no one went with him. The question is can we score enough points to win some games say 24 points and keep tje opposition under that, I simply can't see it. Il say it again they had a dig but offered nothing

Just seen the highlights, shocking defending.

BBC Sports Personality normally do a team of the year nomination don't they?

Did someone really just say 6 points is something to build on?

I’ve just read Applegarth’s post match comments saying the effort is there and that people are playing to their capabilities and he still thinks he can turn it around. Unfortunately for me the large majority of players capabilities are not of SL standard and will potentially be the worst ever team to have played in SL how our trajectory is going sadly.

And by the time we play our next game the 1st May deadline will have past and any out of contract and worth keeping will be signing up elsewhere pretty sharpish because lets be honest we aren't looking like being able to give them any job security.

I can only see Lino, Tanginoa and Whitbread getting offers.
Plus the young guns like Eseh.

Next year will be a complete rebuild in the championship, any players who can get SL gigs will, not too sure which players though on the showings this year.
