Re: Jai Field

I think there's a couple of aspects to this: 1) As mentioned he's had a few injuries he's managing 2) We used to rely on Jai and Bevan exclusively to get us out of trouble when we never looked like scoring. He was backing up every single break and trying to engineer gaps himself. We are now a much m...

Re: Third of the season gone

I'd say we're playing well but seem to also be playing a little inside ourselves which leaves plenty of room to improve for the business end of the season.

Re: Patrick Mago New Deal

Great news and very well deserved. He's really put the hard work in to get where he is and he is a real point of difference on the field and looks to be a real asset off the field. Re Liam, he really needs to spend the next two weeks working on his tackle technique and bend his back in the tackle ot...

Re: Wigan squad for Huddersfield (R11)

First half we need a bit more line speed, better discipline, better contact in the tackle. KR will try and move the ball around and offload so we need to close the space and be better in contact. Confident we'll see a better 1st half than last time we played them. I liked the option of O'Neil and Le...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR (R9)

I’d like to see Field just keep things really simple this week and sniff around the ball carriers to try and take any offloads or follow up breaks/half breaks. We made a few on Friday and we had guys like Faz backing up but there was no sign of Field. His biggest attribute for me in his time here h...

Re: Warrington v Saints

There was a 5 min spell starting when Dufty didn't get anywhere near a high ball and it looked like Saints would establish their usual stranglehold on the game and grind out the win through attrition, but credit to Wire (and probably Sam's coaching) they managed to pull themselves out of it and rack...

Re: Consistency of officiating

There are a lot of thoughtful comments in this thread so here are a few (hopefully thoughtful) reflections of my own: The thread is about 'consistency of officiating'. I've been watching the game for well over 60 years and inconsistency has always been an issue and I guess always will be - from Eri...

Re: Options v Leigh

Looking forward to both Havard and Walters coming in when they are fit , both will really strengthen the 17 in different ways. Walters should bring a completely new dimension to our attack and I hope Field has been practicing following him around everywhere he goes he could cause havoc running off h...

Re: Smiths kicking

High hanging kick = more time for defenders to form a structured line and pressure the catcher, less opportunity for broken play counter attacking. More time for catcher to get into position. THe chase has to be good to make it effective otherwise it's a gift of easy metres for the catcher. Low grou...
