No Shaul again, quite clearly heading for the exit door!

why ? just because rankin is in due to him playing well doesn't mean shaul is on his way out

Pearson has just pretty categorically stated the opposite on Blunderside.

Who does the line ups on Twitter now it's not james smailes ?

Some kid called Paul Clarke, doesn't post as often as Smailes though.

Well so far we are being completely outclassed by Wigan. 12 points down after 15 minutes.

Changed my mind, gonna get dicked!

The speed of their ball movement is waaaay too good for us. Only one team in it, and tbf barring a couple of lapses we haven't done that badly. We need their standards to fall through the floor to have a chance of getting back in.

We are having some terrible luck with injuries.

Bowden off with what looks like a bad ankle injury. We're running out of forwards.

That's a bloody odd rule. Try scorer clearly offside at the first kick but try stands because he was onside for the second? Seems daft TBH.

Their offloads are killing us.
Made our try look easy, so if we can get up the field I can see us scoring more points.

I accept that's a try as per the laws of the game, but if he isn't 3 metres offside at the first kick, then he isn't in position to capitalise on the second kick? Therefore offside?

Game is frustrating sometimes.

Leon Pryce agrees with you (on Twitter). Bizarre rule.

They seem to be moving up on us in defence far quicker than we are on them.

Creates pressure and then the resulting mistake..... 24-6

Praying Wigan keep playing poorly

Reckon that's game over. One of the softest tries ever.

Just dropping off tackles for fun tonight.
Didn't look like last week took much out of us, can't believe we look so tired.

We are comedy

Please please please hope westerman rumour is true, hes awful, I cant take another year of his garb

Unlike Lineham and Houghton who between them have cost us 12 points you mean?

We just look really really poor ....
Wigan are playing the game 3 times faster than we are - really showing the difference in class.

Wigan have comprehensively outplayed us but 24-6 is probably a little harsh on us tbh. Plenty of effort and endeavour but it's almost like the two sides are playing a different sport when you look at their attack compared to ours. There's going to have to be an awful lot of effort put into attacking structure over the winter.

That's the season over now as far as top 4 goes. Not a chance of making up 6 points and a massive points difference in 7 games given the quality of the sides we are playing every week. It's time to start working on things for next season and blooding a few youngsters. I'd rather finish 8th and feel we are in better shape for 2016 than scrape into 6th/7th without really showing signs of progress.

Wigan are defending in numbers & running with some venom. You can see they do a double or triple wedge & hit the edge runner but we can't live with them! The difference between top 4 & just making the 8 eh! Westy needs to stop putting that gidley dvd on before a game.

Take a look at who Farrell and Tomkins have spent all night running at and you may change your mind about fielding too many youngsters.
