Under Madge we had (for his first season) one player different, Deacon, than under Noble and we looked like a different team. Went from boring to sensational overnight. The attack particularly in the last 20m or 30m was a joy to watch with dummy runners and depth to it. We see none of this now whether we have injuries or not.jao711 wrote:Under Madge we had a big solid pack,great halfbacks(Finch was pure class),quality centres,and the two top scoring wingers in the league one of whom was a magnificent kicker.That's the team I remember,and it sure as hell wasn't boring.We are still scoring wingers tries in the corners, unfortunately it makes the kicks more difficult.What we didn't have was the the run of injuries and the consequent shuffling around of the team.You can't please everybody,and some you never will please.
BORING

Under noble there were rumours of players being let off training and the team sheet being a carbon copy regardless of performance. I dont think we are there yet but certainly Wane has his favourites
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Re: BORING
I am on the understanding some Wigan players were actually back sampling the Wigan nightlife Saturday night after the Catalans game. Must have used a private jet - but if anyone corroborates this then make your own mind up...............Wigan_forever1985 wrote: Under noble there were rumours of players being let off training and the team sheet being a carbon copy regardless of performance.

The biggest Room is the Room for improvement.
The best form of defence is attack!!
Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!

Re: BORING
Madge would make these players exciting in attack and the first thing he would do is to buy 2 genuine props not pumped up second rowers. Warrington made us play in our own half and our halfbacks cannot play going backwards mmmmm :conf:

Madgeball is even more boring than Waneball, Monieball was the best
Re: BORING
When Madge came to Wigan his attacking formation was sensational anything but boring

Re: BORING
When Madge came to Wigan he brought Finch, Hoffman & Lima. Nuff said.
