Id take Biers in a heartbeat to re invigorate this so called attacking tosh
You mean Briers is being considered for head coach at Salford.

Very flat performance tonight (from both teams). Think we certainly ran out of steam. Didn't attend the Cats win, fans around said it was two completely different teams playing!

What was most apparent to me, if we don't sign an experienced scrum half and establish very quickly who will play standoff, we are in big trouble!

All these posts about not having a big enough pack are groundless if we don't sort our game management!

Hopefully see a refreshed Bateman next season. Looked like he struggled tonight.

I'm glad it's over. For me, cut and shut is, if we got to Old Trafford, I don't think we match Stains or Wire pound for pound and I personally don't fancy losing to either!

IL and Rads, need to now make brave and ambitious decisions, not cheap decisions.
They have got to provide the the Wigan faithful with some optimism for the next and future seasons, or forever loose fans.
We can not be expected to keep watching the abysmal performances of this season ever again, while they sit there and do nothing
They have one chance to do that for next season because they said at the fans forum they have enough for a half back and then have £73k left on the cap.

That amounts to £223k (unless they make the half back a marquee and spend a fortune on him).

So think about it. The squad minus Hastings and Gildart with the additions of Thornley, Miski and the two Aussie forwards is going to cost. £1, 877,000. That is a joke. There are some players being paid far too much money. The squad management is a joke.

Jenna Brooks just said shoulder injured in the Catalans game. Thought someone mentioned on here it was broken fingers.
That would be me as that was what Bullock told me at the end of the game last week!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

If Giz was coaching that team then we would be in the next round.

Sorry but this is Tosh, he was more of a risk than Lam, 20 years out if the game
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

I don’t think so, Giz has a rugby brain. Look at both their records. Tell me what Lam has won and what Edwards has achieved?

Absolutely zilch in RL or as a head coach in either code
