Congrats…… it was a good effort but not much in the way of attack tbh….. like most have said ,we definitely need hastings in the halfs and possibly zak and field to bolster our backs before we can click…… french was massive to us in attack
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE

Congratulations Dan. Played better than expected with team picked some good signs from players brought back in partington is starting to look like a liability goes looking for trouble that's not there. Seriously lacking direction and firepower but at this stage a win is a win.

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Looked to us as if the giants player took a swipe & Ollie or I thought it was Amir & he stuck up for his small team mate, Ollie won’t take step back but doesn’t go looking for trouble now!

Did you never see Ollie play for the academies? He’s nothing like he was, he probably got sent off every couple of games back then. His discipline has improved 100%

Down to the coach, halves and forwards to make the space for fullback, centre and wingers
Obviously, but as far as the forwards were concerned, you can't say that Wigan were dominated by the opposing pack tonight and never got a sniff; we had a fair amount of ball in attacking positions. At the most basic level, we seem to lack support for the ball carrier how can you take advantage of an offload or slipped pass if you're not on the shoulder?
I was referring more to the forwards being dummy / decoy runners. It’s too much catch and pass from 9 to 7 to 6. That’s why we never create space because the defence just numbers up and doesn’t need to slide.

But nobody seems to create any space or overlaps like other teams do. This has gone on since the start of the season it makes you wonder what are we practicing in training. I know we have had a lot of injuries and suspensions but seriously Lam needs to be replaced for next season.
Good to hear, He's looked crap the few times I've seen him but last weeks game he showed how good he could be, Hope he continues to get more game time at 1 and improves even more

Yes josie I have . I watch more academy and amateur rl than sl . And don't have tinted colour glasses on in assessing players. Imo and I am entitled to that he gets involved in minor things and turns them into a penalty there is a big difference between standing up for you team mate and blowing things out of proportion for ego. Also he is not only one from academy the young props are getting headlines for wrong reasons there egos
