Not a bad first match, but the nearly men of RL look like continuing their traditional approach to the season.

And what has happened to Eastmond?

he is dreaming of his move to Onion

Roby who was magnificent

Fantastic throughout the whole 80 cracking player. The only player i was worried about with ball in hand bar the odd Puletua run.

Credit to our spirit for hanging in there. But in terms of rugby that was pretty poor. Our defence was okay, I thought, although certainly not great, but our attack was abysmal. Kyle nearly stank the roof off.

Thought Scarsbrook had a good game aswell!

Agree about us looking tired cos of the defence, but we were also missing Fielden who goes through a heck of a lot of tackles and think we definately missed him through the middle today. I also think that us looking a bit toothless was because Deacon went off, forced us to play another 2nd rower in the halves which is inevitably going to reduce our attacking edge.

Disappointed with the last try as well though, a mile forward.

We were lucky to escape in the end though.

If it was an option I'd cash in on Eastmond now. He should have been dominating and demanding but he sat back far too often.

I was disappointed with your 3rd seeing as it wasnt a goal line drop out

To be fair to him it was his first proper game in a fair while.

Wasn't that decision correct because the ball wasn't on the floor?

I have openly criticised Francis Meli in the past but I though he also played well today, bar the mix up with Wellens for Wigan's second try. I thought Roby, Puletua, Soliola and Meli were our stand out players today. Wilkin didn't do too bad either.

Wigan's defence in the first half was amazing but they struggled to keep it up once fatigue starting kicking in. Simmons simply has to address the lack of width in our defence, we were overlapped on countless occasions with ease.

I think the 'invincible' Wigan looked very vulnerable today and quite easily beatable. They have a few players to come back but then so do we; Pryce, Flannery and Perry. All in all I think if we was more clinical and our defence can be sured up a little more there is no reason why we shouldn't of won that game by 10+ points. Wigan looked dangerous with their chances in the first half whereas we looked flat. Some attacking flair (which Pryce can bring) will see us scoring plenty.

Also after all the hype, Jeff Lima did absolutely nothing.
