Re: Wakefield V Wigan : Tue Apr 18, 2017 1:55 am  

Another game we could of/should of put to bed, especially with the amount of possession we had in that 2nd half. But a few poor decisions and silly errors cost us the game. Can't fault the effort from the lads and the defense on the whole was pretty good, just that little bit of cutting edge in their 20 was lacking at crucial times. Yes the ref was garbage and you'd hope the poor calls even themselves up by the end but tbh we should have made him irrelevant ateotd.

On the whole though, yes we have lost 2 back to back, but it's hardly the end of the world or even close to it. We've had imo one of the hardest Easter periods of any team & lost to probably the 2 best teams in the League, so onwards and upwards. Still plenty of games left and points to claim. Hopefully the injury situation isn't too bad & we'll put something together against Wire and get back on the horse.

Coming up next we have; Warrington (A), Catalans (H), Leigh (A), Widnes (MW), Huddersfield (H)

In reality, we should be looking at winning at least three of these games to stay within touching distance of the Top 8

Some defo winnable games there imo, especially after Wire away. If Injuries aren't too bad, I'd like to think we're well capable of winning 4 of those tbh.

So we win 5 out of 6 or whatver it was, we then lose against a team playing red hot RL who are top of the League and then lose very closely against the World Champs & GF winners and apparentely the 'Bubble's well and truly burst now', come on . We lost a few in a row at the start and things changed, that's the nature of Sport. You really do love the doom and gloom don't you mate.

This is irrelevant. Wigan were there for the taking and we blew it big style. Is there a RL equivalent of an own goal?

Agree with wollo we have to be ruthless two points lost against a vulnerable wigan

Re: Wakefield V Wigan : Tue Apr 18, 2017 6:27 pm  

The next 5 games will imo make or break our season. We need to be winning a minimum of 3 of them any less than that and we will struggle to make the 8

Its going to be an even bigger struggle for Widnes, bottom at the mo.they will have to win 9 out of their remaining 13 games to reach 21 points, Giants next to bottom and 12 games left will need to win 7 to reach 20 points and Leigh in 10th position will have to win 7 out of remaining 12 to get 20 points. It then gets interesting with Warrington in 9th.who need 7 wins out of 13 games left to reach 21 points, i think thats probably within their reach so a win against them on Saturday will be good for us. the middle of the table is going to get very interesting in the next few games.

Re: Wakefield V Wigan : Tue Apr 18, 2017 7:47 pm  

We've got to get as many from this next 5 games as possible as the next block of games is much tougher to get wins from

Well apparently it's not just me who thinks losing to Warrington would be squeaky bum time

No it's not at all irrelevant when it's in reply to a post of 'Bubble's well and truly burst now'. I said myself before that post, didn't I that we should have won, but that's not the issue is it. It's to do with the completely ott remark from the usual person who seems to get off when we lose.

If our bubble's well and truly burst after a couple of loses, god knows what some other teams are thinking.
