One fan claimed the Warriors are too reliant on one of their key players.

They wrote: “(Bevan) French is getting burnt up. With no (Jai) Field to work with he’s lost. There isn’t much threat in the team.

"We need more utility players who can gut it out. Stop the no look passes and take a tackle rather than forcing a play.

"Think smart and play possession football, not hot potato.

"Going for the Hollywood killer move isn’t always the best option.”

Meanwhile, another supporter added: “That second half was one of the worst I’ve seen. A total collapse and they had no idea how to stop it. We’ve just got to hope we don’t play that badly again.”

Wigan will need to quickly pick themselves up ahead of next weekend’s Challenge Cup tie against the same opposition.
