Had Gardner not missed two key tackles earlier on Wigan may well have been 12 points further back. Gardner's defence stank the place out today. Very poor (aside from the last minute tap-back). Foster made him look like a relic.
Ok. Wello dropping a ball on his way to the tryline was a disgrace. Jammer throwing that stupid offload early on was awful. Meli giving away two penalties, one which led to that try that never should have been, was a disgrace. Lomax kicking a grubber when he should have gone long and high, stupid. Shenton not covering the ball in the tackle in the dying minutes. LMS dropping a ball under the sticks from Roby, Scott Moore switched off enabling whatsisface to get that final try ...
Stop scapegoating him. The whole team was a bit off throughout the match at various times. Not helped by having the god knows how many version of a halfback pairing or half the team playing injured or missing. Not helped by a try being awarded to Wigan that never should have been.
We played our hearts out and our bollox off against all the odds and came up just one minute short. I'm blaming no-one for that loss and criticising no-one for it either. I just hope we can field a team on Monday because God knows where we are going to get players from.
