What aboit the rest of the season? They've lost 17 games out of 22 and let in an average of nearly 40 points a game. They have come up with a massive shock result, but they're still the whipping boys and don't belong in the league currently. Hopefully they will rebuild in the Championship and come back stronger

Not to mention a similar strength squad to today's put 84 on them on the back of a 3 day turnaround after playing Saints. Bradford played well today, probably the best they've played all season (I've obviously not seen many of their games) but today's result was mostly down to how bad we were.

We were poor granted but that's a lot to do with us having no plan B, Bradford did their homework and did a job on us, very similar to cas in the cup.

Haha yeh today's result definitely means we shouldn't replace the current structure. Clutching at straws or what!!

We should change the structure but not to the merry go round that is being introduced.

is deafening! #RLnewera my booty! Hope you happy clappers will be happy when Wigan get relegated due to the lack of quality and experience in the squad to cope with super clubs like Leigh, Fev, Dewsbury etc.

Lemonhead , you forgot to mention the Bradford Bulls in your list of Super Clubs .

It's true though, when a team gets in our faces and cuts out our wide plays we become devoid of ideas, credit to Bradford perfect game plan

True, I agree.

I thought they did try plan B which was the offload.
Normally we are not an offloading team yet it was tried at Odsal.
Trouble was that everytime it was tried the player to whom the offload was passed to didn't expect it and the ball was dropped.

Just tried to work out how the full fixture list would pan out week by week and I reckon a realistic run based on this year's table is something like:

Castleford (H)
St Helens (A)
Widnes (H)
Huddersfield (A)
Warrington (H)
Catalans (H)
Leeds (A)

We will need to be on top of our game for a much longer period, there's only Widnes and Catalans I'd have a lot of confidence about there. Add in that the CC semis and final will be amongst that lot then the play offs after and August - Mid October will be bloody brilliant for us fans. Tough going for the players though, fair play to whoever comes out on top!
