We weren’t bad against Catalans, bad decision making by us and the ref was the difference.  Could have done without Wigan playing so poorly against HKR last week.  I fear we will feel the backlash.

The ref again!

It's always weird feeling that a defeat the week before will probably help you this week. Had we won and played well last week, I think we may have gone in to this complacent and risked a defeat but I think we'll be totally switched on tonight and we should hopefully get the win. I saw enough even last week in a horrible performance to show that we'll always score points. We just need to get better defensively and be more patient in buildings attacks.

FlashScore is being slow tonight - they still have this as nil all.

I fear the trinity pack will get hammered

Ouch!

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Knew we’d feel a Wigan backlash after their performance last week but also thought we’d at least have a go.

Marshall completes his hat-trick.

Then he makes it four!

I say this every year but I really can’t see past Wakey going down this year. In hindsight, it was obviously going to happen as soon as they finally get construction going.

[Trojan Horse]

My bets looking good.

I should have been all over Wigan at -20 (10/11) just didn't want to bet against my team. Congrats to those who did however questions need to be asked on why are our players are not upto the mark tonight. Applegarth has a lot of thinking to do over the weekend. I finished playing 10 years ago and still put in 110% in the gym why can't our players...not good enough!!

He can think all he wants, there is not a coach out there who could get much out of our squad. I dont blame Mash, this is all down to Carter

[Futtocks]

60:0 now.

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Second half was better

Thinking such as ‘why did I take this job’ and ‘what can I really do 300-400k’ under Wigan and maybe 6 other teams. 

I am delighted that Wakey are sorting themselves off the field but it does look like it is just one season too late. 

Should make championship good next year and a badly needed reset for Wakey with their new infrastructure.

 

Maybe so, time will tell. We always start poorly but not this bad. Like Agbrigg comments, Applegarth needs time, totally agree what he says. He can only do so much with the squad we have. It gets better next week, we have the Giants coming to town

Calm down it's round 2

[MZH]

It's early days and a lot can happen yet, but it looks like there could be a long painful season ahead.

[Ragingbull]

Think we already know who is going down this year.

Let's not make every thread about Leigh, okay?
