Tonights game

[josie andrews]

Therein lies the problem. The effort is never lacking but to win big games you need more than endeavour.

Who's looking after the child when you can be on here at all hours of the day?

Stop it with the snide remarks :exc: :exc:

Not a lot of credit going to Hull FC on here, who played bloody well!
More about our God given right to win trophies.
Has anyone wondered that our lack of attack might be down to the injuries that we have had all season and the fact that we haven't had a settled team? Micky Mac on his own would make a massive difference.
But for a couple of errors last night and a bit of luck, not to mention some better refereeing, we could still be on to winning a treble, yet despite our injuries this season, most are ready to have a go. Even at Gildart, who for me has done little wrong all season.
Get a grip and remember what it was like in the early 2000s, when we rarely even challenged for trophies and could have been relegated!

Are you serious ?

Totally!
Do you seriously think, if we had Charnley, Gelling, Farrell, Clubb, Joel Tomkins and Micky Mac available on Friday night and for most of the season, we wouldn't have beem better off?

Of course......apart from joel

We have had these players available early on in the season and some of them have played more games than they have missed and the attack was still rubbish.

All team will have players unavailable at some point and in our case we had two unavailable v Hull because they were banned. Our discipline is poor and managing to get yourself banned for a semi-final is idiotic. It's just another aspect of what needs sorting out at Wigan. Too much concentration on aggression and not enough on playing decent RL.

Your Memory obviously doesn't serve you that well.
We haven't had a full squad all season, with the closest probably being the first game.
Micky Mac broke his leg in the third game and most of the season we haven't even managed to field the same team twice, never mind the strongest, yet we are still third in the league, behind Hull and Warrington. The same two teams that made the Challenge cup final. Ask yourself, would Hull or Warrington be anywhere near, if they had the injury levels that we have had?

[superleague]

Mario I'm sorry but your either delusional or blind

[mario]

It must be you that is blind, if you think we have not had injuries and that Hull or Warrington wouldn't suffer even more with the same level of injuries

[butt monkey]

Mario, what you fail to realize is that injuries are part and parcel of a physical sport such as rugby

Teams accommodate their tactics and structures to whom they have available.

Do you seriously think if wire had every forward injured they would play a forward dominated game-plan?

You know the answer without even having to think about it, and that is why fans question the teams unwavering inability to not only have a plan b when plan a fails, but also change out tactics when the players we DO have, are simply not capable or skilled enough to carry them out
