The two defining moments.



Huddersfields third try just after half time.

The Sam Powell kick to touch.



The first was very much a forward pass.

Then Grix has one foot on the line when he catches the ball from Sam Powells penalty and Huddersfield score from it.

The touchjudge is unsited.



Huddersfield deserved the win, no doubt, their forwards laid the platform but sometimes you get the rub of the green as we probably did last week.

I think the defining moments were every time we got the ball we looked more interested in doing something with it than you did. Glad we dont play such boring rugby as you did tonight- charnleys try the only bright part.

Blimey, I am in agreement with an opposition fans statement !

The defining moments were Wigan players being unable to catch a rugby ball.

Rub of the green?



You have the thickest pair of cherry and white specs I have ever come across.



The Hudds fan got it right:

I like Wigan as a club but I did enjoy you not not getting some simple calls right last night. I'm not one who watches boots n all, full time, backchat ect but I have watched them this week and I am sick to death about hearing how many players are missing and especially Tomkins. It happened before last weeks game v us and again all the build up to last nights game. Bri Carney and Phil Clarke sounded totally deflated to me after last nights defeat and I really enjoyed it, they are terribly biased at times!

Anyhow, back to the decisions on Shudds third try, I didn't think it was a penalty committed on McGilvery(sp) and the forward pass that was not given was shocking considering where that cheat Childs was in relation to the pass.



Great attendance and a good game.

The writing was on the wall when Farrell made a kick in the first half. Is it me or do we have a team of spoons? Can anybody catch a loose ball? its totally embarassing watching HH, Moose and Farrell trying to drop on a loose ball, to be fair it wasn't just them the whole team have feeble handling skills.

To keep this balanced Hudds wer excellent, I heard too many people saying they looked good but wernt playing that well, that was wrong in all regards. Hudds in attack wer a joy to watch, the whole team were darting in about at all angles, always looked to offload, applied an excellent questioning kicking game, Robinson was always looking to attack the line and they always looked a threat. In defence they wer competent and no more than that mainly due to the poor play from Wigan. Did anybody offload for Wigan last night? Did we make any darting angled runs, did powell attack the line like Robinson, did Green apply a questioning kicking game like Brough? No, it was a team who wer playing with no gameplay or perhaps playing to a gameplan that they haven't bought into. Credit to Hudds, I only wish we could play with that flair and confidence at Wembley.

This is the first game I have heard Sky make a big thing of it, but why on earth Hudds would be under more pressure as a result is beyond me. What particular pressure?



Anyway, well done Hudds, enjoyable game bar the odd one or two ref blunders that we all know . High tackle on Hampshire - no it wasn't, for example. Also the Sky team - loooookkk, MM is head butting! At least the voice of reason was there with Carney.

Come on Rogues even you can't be so biased. If you've watched it again you clearly forgot to mention the missed the Charnley foot in touch when he holds the ball from Brough's 40-20 attempt. What did you think of the unlimited head shots that went unnoticed along with the two attempt stamps by Luaki?

Ryan Bailey did the same thing at the magic weekend, do you think it got noticed by the officials? Did it get reviewed after the match? Did he get a ban? Guess what happened? Nothing....

Im sure this Leuaki incident will become the biggest and most disgusting incident of all time. Just like the Charnley decision last week.

I agree with you but it's because of failings in the past coaches like at Catalans are annoyed when they get a player banned for 3 games. The RFL try to make a stance on something when the best part of the season has gone. Your man Luaki (sp)could also feel the brunt of this as the RFL will try to look consistent. Could be interesting.

This thing about losing the ball in the tackle, usually the first, missed timed short passing resulting in knock-ons or a forward pass, is getting beyond a bad joke now. Get a grip! Yes I know that part of the tackling technique is to dislodge the ball, but most other sides seem to handle it better than us. Yes we have had more than our fair-share of injuries, but that doesn’t stop us doing the basics better than we are. Not trying to be too simplistic, but if I was coach I would get the player to one side, put my face close to his and tell him “you keep doing the same thing week after week, listen to what I tell you to do, and stop it”

The defining moment to me was the kick-off, we had a point to prove to the whole of RL that we can handle big pressure games, the entire RL community, including the media, have been waiting since February for us to fail so they can all sit there with grins on their faces going 'i told you so'......We had a chance to prove tonight that we are the real deal and do it at the home of the media's darlings live on TV - our players simply wanted it more and proved their point in emphatic fashion.....you could have had 2 Sam Tomkins and 2 O'loughlin's out there tonight and you still wouldn't have beaten us - we wouldn't have let ourselves lose that one !!



Our problem now is we need to prove it every week until October !
