A lot more fight from the kids we had to play in 2011, was a lot more creative when our halfbacks were Tommy Lee and Gareth Moore.

Yep, I'd go for the Peter Roe side and the 11th hour cobbled together team when Crusaders pulled out over the present situation.

Chester’s after match interview suggests our problems is in defence and we need to work on it.

The highlights of the tries can be found on Sky, the scores appear to be just replays of the first but they aren’t.

Pleasing to no there is nothing wrong with the attack ,Any team that gives away the ball like we do .,as got to do a lot more tackling than a team that can get a high completion rate with the ball

Watched them as a neutral mate. Don't think the commitment or one on ones are the problem it just seems a total lack of communication when defending the edges. Since Lam has been coach Wigan don't usually get their points on the edges unless its a kick but they had a field day tonight.

At least we showed we had a bit about us and didn’t give in. Listened until 10mins into 2nd half how many set restarts did Wigan have compared to us, bad rule totally kills a side.

Up the Trin

More often than not we seem to get hammered by this rule. It’s absolutely destroyed us along with the strip rule. Either we haven’t wised your to it or top clubs are just better at exploiting it but we get caned a lot. I’ll be glad when it’s gone and scrums are reinstated.

We need to get back to proper rugby league ASAP. The quality has seriously deminished and I put a lot down to two things.... fixture congestion and speeding game up through six again and scrapping scrums. It’s all about fast direct plays and tiring opposition out instead of inventive play unlocking defences. Watching whichever team gets tired first fold more often than not due to repeat sets with no break etc.

The quality of the game has diminished a lot and you can thank the top brass for that allowing these rule changes and fixture congestion.

If I run a business like the RFL/SL it would be doomed to end up in the gutter.

Left sided defence torn a new one two weeks running. Fair to say whatever they did to ‘fix it up’ after last week didn’t work.

Massive concern that left edge defence. As you say pretty much all the scores from past few games have come down that edge. Some serious work needs to go into that this week. That starts with Ashurst, Miller who need to make the correct decisions when to slide and then Arundel and Senior where they need to position themselves. Between those 4 players they need to improve in defence.

I think Lyne and Kershaw seem to be defensively quite strong. I hope we give Kershaw a shot for next year because recently I’ve been impressed with him and of you’d ask me 5-6 weeks ago I really wasn’t a fan of his.
