Exactly. A win against Salford will only paper over the cracks.
The team selection Friday will be interesting but SW's wellies are leaking and he can't find his puncture kit!
I would expect Login to give Sam Powell a bit of a run around if he was in a decent side but we shall see.

I would love to see Matty Smith given a run as interchange hooker with Mac. Smith having the ability to kick from dummy half would be a very interesting / useful option.

if I was a saints fan I wouldn't be happy because we were shit - may as well just given them the game but at least it was entertaining eh meddy might take it to my next shevy shark trainin sesh - here lads copy wigan instead of building pressure, tackling hard and doing all the other boring stuff that the auzzys do so well lets throw stupid passes in our own half because it entertains the so called fans who don't want to win anything and bring anymore money to the club.medlocke wrote:are you in a jolly mood because your team won?bomhead wrote:Enjoying your fancy rugby boys!!

I've said the same thing from the start of the season!

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

was nowhere near entertaining, our World Club game against Brisbane was entertaining and enjoyable, even though we lost i wasn't all that gutted as it had been a fine spectacle of rugby league, others games have served up great performances by each team with no interference from the Ref, just a shame that several on here have an agenda and twist what i say, i'll let you off as your newbomhead wrote:if I was a saints fan I wouldn't be happy because we were shit - may as well just given them the game but at least it was entertaining eh meddy might take it to my next shevy shark trainin sesh - here lads copy wigan instead of building pressure, tackling hard and doing all the other boring stuff that the auzzys do so well lets throw stupid passes in our own half because it entertains the so called fans who don't want to win anything and bring anymore money to the club.medlocke wrote:are you in a jolly mood because your team won?bomhead wrote:Enjoying your fancy rugby boys!!

Re: Is Wane the right man to coach Wigan?
I agree Madge did coach boring rugby but he was ruthless. when Bateman threw the forward pass I think it was the 3rd tackle he should have not chanced his arm we had them on the back foot and 2 tackles in the bank this is all I think you play fancy when we are winning and its on not when your in a grind of a match. you have to get on top of the other team before you can turn on the fancy stuff - this is what most auz teams do and certainly there national side they will be patent and not push things because even going into the last 2mins they know they will pressure a mistake and score.
I think wayne needs to ring the changes because that was not wigan at its best strong defence though just poor decision making and mistake after mistake.

I said the same thing about this being the crunch season for SW. If he wins nowt then he should go IMO.cpwigan wrote:I cannot see him going before the end of the season but if he bombs out for a 2nd successive season surely even IL will be forced to act. We have the best depth of talent, the best young players, the best backroom staff and a first XVII comparable to any other in a weakening competition. Even IL will know that and have high expectations.
It's a hard business and it's all about winning at the end of the day.
Re: Is Wane the right man to coach Wigan?
I agree if we don't win anything then there is no money coming in - keep wane on as he instils what it is to play for Wigan but we need someone with a bit of brains and someone who can shake things up.
Re: Is Wane the right man to coach Wigan?
If a new coach came in, Wane would not stay. Why would he go back to being an assistant in the UK when he could easily get a job as head coach somewhere else. Plenty of clubs would love to have a double wining coach. I could see him going on to be an assistant for a couple of years in Australia however.bomhead wrote:I agree if we don't win anything then there is no money coming in - keep wane on as he instils what it is to play for Wigan but we need someone with a bit of brains and someone who can shake things up.
