Well sad and disappointed we lost. But not too despondent . We can and mostly have played much much better than that this season. Last night Wigan were good , and too many of our players under performed on the night, plus had to put in long minutes.



This season we have won some games when playing poorly ( the sign of a good team ) but against wigan we needed a great performance.



Will be a saints fan next Sunday too.

Hudds did have the opportunity to score a few which they bummed but howmany did Gelling fluff for Wigan. Both sides werent as clincal as the could have been and had we had Pat in the team i think those scores would have been converted as well as the conversions. The score could have looked very one sided which would not have been a fair reflection of the game as Hudds looked strong for two thirds of the game.

The first half was a cracker and it seemed like anyone game. However Huddersfield then seemed to fall away on the 50 mins mark and completely lost their way. For me Huddersfield still havent learned how to slug it out against the big teams. If you factor in Pat Richards playing, and a probable 2 extra tries that we would have got, and our dreadful kicking we could have easily won by a lot more in the end.

And IF (which is a big word) we had taken our chances we could have maybe won





Nowhere near our best last night and we couldn't produce the flair we've shown this season due to the weather but the game changer was Eden's dropped ball after his try. Add to that we just didn't get the bounce of the ball last night ie Giants chip over and the ball doesn't bounce up for Eden. Wigan kick a long ball that looks to be going out yet then decides to turn a corner and stays in forcing us to knock it out. Nothing went our way, we had too many player not at the top of their game last night and the best team won. On a drier day with the odd bounce of the ball we could have inflicted the same scoreline on Wigan. It was one game, no trophies won from it.

As an aside, credit wheres it due, they really do have a cracking away support, they never shut up, helps when your in the noisiest stand as well, something for the rest of us to aspire to, no one gets near em at our place.



Though you crucify "Just cant get enough"

Yeh they do help create a great atmosphere. Some of our fans might as well be cardboard cut outs.

You're not far off. I would say that you are the best side we have faced this season. Perhaps it is just a mental thing now. The first game of the season wasn't a big game, but last night was a real chance to show that you mean business for the rest of the season.



I thought both sides played some quality rugby for the 1st 55 mins or so, espicially in the conditions. and then the Carmont try changed the game, and we stepped up a gear and pulled away. If we play as well next week Saints will get a good hiding.

we wasnt good enough lastnight, at times it was men against boys, they wanted it more than us and we looked beaten early doors



did well to stay in the game as long as we did with wigan missing the kicks at goal, we got back to drawing then threw it away with stupid mistakes



faiumu, patrick and mcgillvary getting injured didnt help with the interchanges





grix was awful, was again shown up with his shocking defending and seems to get the ball then the attack breaks down and gets tackled...cant fault the effort of the lad though



oh well roll on next week, got shown up lastnight though...especially in the forwards and on the wings but losing wardle was a big blow too

Disappointed that we couldn't compete with them for 80 minutes, 1st half was proper rugby then like has been said , once Eden dropped that ball it was one way traffic - we tried but they were faster stronger and fitter than us in the end.

As a Wigan fan I think you're overrating the Warriors a tad. That was a difficult match.

Good question, hopefully next weekend in SUNNY M/cr , didn't realise how wet it was until after the game, thanks for the roof !

Gerry's injury and Carmonts try turned the game, but we missed chances, kicked too early and had too light a bench



All in all Brown got the tactics wrong IMO
