Wow! If those stats are correct there is no wonder the game unfolded as it did!

Looking back on last night in the cold light of a new day, Wigan were nigh on perfect throughout the whole eighty minutes. Power, pace, teamwork, inventiveness, they had the lot.



We worked hard, stuck at it the best we could, and didn't let our heads drop too much which is a big improvement on past seasons, but last night was a sobering reminder of how far we have to travel if we wish to compete again at the top. Hopefully we won't have to witness too many more games like this or the effects will begin to have a detrimental impact on the season. They need to file last night under 'experience' and move on to games where we may be able to compete on a slightly more even footing, here's hoping so.

Great Post. Has 99%completion ever been done before?

Also I did think Wigan rode their luck a couple of times, bounce of ball deflections etc not that Ican distract from an excellent performance from them, Some a bit harsh on Chamberlain who apparently played with an injury. Good to see Balmforth able to play for so long too

Chamberlain on a 3 year deal was an absolutely mind boggling signing, especially given the fact he was given a starting number. He’s not even a decent squad player.

The last two seasons are opening home match have been against the worst two possible sides KR and Wigan, feel for the club, 1 win from opening two games a bonus for me, Wigan a class above we gave it a go but too many bodies missing, next four matches are more of a barometer but like Jake said we need players back.

Feel sorry for Davy Litten he'd have had a run of games in the centre but was mismanaged at the end of last season.
