Brilliant performance today, left it all out there. Completion rate was superb and the pack ensured good dominance of the ball and territory. However their defensive work is outstanding and was sensational today.
Difference for me today is Wellens contribution in attack compared to Sam Tomkins. Wello doesn't link in well and more often than not stops the momentum of the attack or puts the centre under real pressure.
Leaving Jammer on at the end was a mistake today he was gone.
Well done lads, heads held high.
I though we did ok today but I think today's game showed we are desperate for some good quality backs. All that pressure in the first half and only two points to show for it. We spent most of the first half camped on wigans line and didn't look like scoring.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we seriously lack quality backs. The go to players when we need them, the x factor players.
I thought the pack matched theirs today as our pack does most weeks. It's a Shame Toby didn't run more from acting half. I thought Graham looked shot today, they battered him and in the second half he was going to ground before he was hit which was pretty embarrassing.
At the end of the day we couldn't score and they was more clinical with the ball than us.
