I cannot fault the effort of the players.
But the team is a shambles. We have no idea how to play attacking rugby league. The only hope of a try is a bit of magic from Williams or Gelling. It is not about Smith or O'Loughin or anyone else. Wane needs to take a long hard look at himself.

<t>Thanks Ted,<br/> Agree about Sam and George helping Matty Smith to play well.<br/> Gelling back will be a big boost too.<br/> Still worried about the pack without Farrell and MM. They never seem to dominate. Crosby, Flower strong and Tautai off the bench. But we lack cohesion and leadership. Hull...

<t>This has been a hard season to assess.<br/> Having never played consistently well we are two points off the top and looking sure to make the playoffs.<br/> In previous seasons, I can see that SW was managing the team to make sure we were firing at the business end. But it doesn't feel like that t...

So how long is Liam out for?

Can anyone give a more factual assessment of the Bateman situation please

<t>I do not get the size issue. Due to SW recruitment we continue to be a small team. That is is a big problem in the modern game. <br/> Wigan do not have the skill to compensate for that at the moment. Wane says we are a team of "details" but that theory is being blown away every week by the lack o...

Smith seems to struggle to cope with responsibility when O'Loughlin, Williams, Mickey Mac etc are not playing.
And he is not a good goal-kicker.
Hull is a massive game for us.
We should surely sign Solomona for next season to replace Charnley.

Can anyone tell me what is the point of Willie Isa? Small for a forward. Does not do anything with the ball. No pace. Quiet character. Why did we sign him?
Tautai is a liability with the penalties he gives away but at least he occasionally looks like breaking the line.

I like to be positive but our forward pack, on paper, and on the pitch was simply incapable of competing with Warrington. Yes, we have injuries but this is not good enough.

That is completely unacceptable.
Total lack of game management and intelligence. Wane has to to cop some flak for that. How can such a physically superior team contrive to lose that game?
