He gets unfairly bagged for things no doubt but not on this point. Hamlin sucked in defenders and created space. He won us 4 penalties that made us loads of ground and got us in positions to test their line through Tomkins and Williams. He lifted the crowd and his fellow players and brought an energy to the side that we’ve missed. I’ve never seen as many positive comments from a players teammates on social media then I did about Hamlin last night.Exiled Wiganer wrote:Seemed a reasonable interview to me. I think he has a point about tempo, and I am happy with the entertainment on show so far. I would rather see the ball in George and Sam's hands with time and momentum than forwards making an extra couple of metres after impact. As long as we dent the line and get quick plays our outside players will make hay. I think there is a tendency to extrapolate into infinity anything that can be used to criticise Wane (wasn't he a villain because he was never going to pick Woods again over the week end?)
One jet lag defeat and one harsh one a third into the new season - and best of all a pretty much fully fit squad - there is a lot to like about the prospects for this Wane coached team.
The comments by Wane that he wants him to find the floor quicker were pretty scary after that showing. He threw a dig in saying fans see it differently which wasn’t needed in my mind because I would also say 95%+ of the coaches who’ve been involved in the professional game around the world would also think it was ridiculous.
