I am very proud of the team today, we put in a great effort and although we didn't get the result we should all be pleased with the performance.

We gave wigan one heck of a game in the 2nd half. To fightback from such a deficit on this occasion, against the best team in super league shows the immense determination and character of this team. For that, we should all be thankful.

I hope none of our players or officials mention a word about any 50/50's. Wigan scored more points, and for that, deserved to win.

One thing I'm proud of is when we win, players like sinfield show a tremendous amount of dignity and class. The same in defeat.

I think a certain individual could learn from that today.

Again good post and good point made

Great post. On another day you would have won. Better team in the 2nd half by far. We were rooting for you all the way

good post

After the shocking opening 25 minutes we were bleedin excellent, we came alive and were unfortunate not to win IMHO. Credit Wigan, they are an excellent side and you cannot afford to give them a 16 point start. We might not be completely finished yet, if we can keep that level of intensity up we will give anyone a fright. Proud of the lads and not gonna b1tch and moan about ref's calls.

As I stated elsewhere ...it was great to see, but I expected it today. Just hope they can do it more often. Winning the CC would have resulted in a weak showing in the play offs I believe.

My hope is that now they will raise their performance levels to this same extent.... and go all the way to a winning performance in the GF.

McDermott was a credit to the club in his TV interview after the match.

Have to agree

What did he say?

I'd expect nothing less.

We have class, and we lose with dignity.

Can i bitch about the officials, shocking.

I thought after 20 minutes it was going to be a whitewash, i was wrong and when you guys finally woke up were easily the best team, but the Charnely incident killed you off, the fact your pack were pointing to the screen at the blatant error and Bentham ignored it showed an arrogance beyond even that of Tomkins. Unlucky guys

Didn't see it, why what did he say.
I must admit at first I was always bemused by his press conferences but for the last few weeks they have been growing on me.
The neighbours comment in CC semi made me chuckle

I shall watch the post-match reaction when I got home tonight. But I totally agree with everything that the OP has said. We’ve done two very similar threads and what a joy it is to be on a similar wavelength when it comes to thoughts on today.
