Well I can't put my hand on heart and say I'm up for the same on Friday. Can anybody else?
I'll be there but it'll be like going to Sunday School when I was a lad and my mum made me go!! :lol:

In response to curryman "be careful what you wish for" then it is up to KR and IL to go out and recruit a top coach. As much as it pains to me say it how many had heard of Holbrook before Saints moved for him, not many. Mike Rush did he business well and they made a tough call. The same players that where obviously struggling under certain tactics are now the form team of the comp and its simply down to coaching.

I worry that this will roll on and on and we will continue to serve up this rubbish.

Too many mates in the boys club for me, doesn't work in business or top level sport

I agree with MickW on the job for the boys. TL should not play for us next season my hope is that Sam Tomkins goes 7 and George Williams can start to improve seen none of that this season.

But most of all we recruit properly and not just bring in players through loyalty and their past achievements.

Think the Wane bezzy mates club has finally done the rounds. Time for a new outlook and an introduction of brain on the tactics side.
Fortunately it will be my last game for the season on Friday due to holiday commitments. Am I sad it is? No.

The jobs for the boys thing certainly has an element of truth to it,ive said all along that if you leave Wigan,you leave,you don't come back,the best club in the world shouldnt been seen as a safety net for a failed move,ILand Rads see it differently though,to me it just breeds complacancy.

This isnt a great squad,TL shouldnever have been brought back as a player,wigan shot themselves in the foot letting Smith go,Mossop and Crosby without really replaceing them,Navarrette was a project and shouldnt have been near the first team at all,young Bretherton and Sutton arent the same class as the two who left,Clubb was coming back after the crusher tackle and was an unknown quantity really,the balance of the squad always looked "off" to me,but again what do i know.

The whole point of the Marquee player is to sign players who have and will add to the game,Williams is still far from the finished article,is he really worthy of the marquee contract yet? im not so sure,cant help but feel his agent played the club like a fiddle to get the best deal for him,but thats what they're emplaoyed to do i suppose.

Changes are needed or we fans are in for another long,long season of dross.

No thanks, he'd probably leave us again once he got offered another NRL contract
