Wigan Squad for Wakefield

[Bob the Builder]

Apart from "forwards no good" Our forwards are too small, too weak and get dominated too often. Solid performances and winning teams are based on a go forward pack. Simple.

Didn't see the game as we were travelling up to Scotland.

Ignore usual alarmist stuff like "forwards no good". I also disagree with the Briers theory. My view is we're a "new" team in terms of personnel and challenging for honours. We play weaker teams and start to believe that we just need to turn up.

Wakey players are fighting for their livelihoods. We see Cats and Hud both lose, and conclude were comfortable in 2nd. Go in with wrong attitude, Wakey get in front and were struggling.

I'm not happy with this, and not justifying the response from professional players, but it's a learning process. It's been said before that Saints get beaten, but they don't often get out-enthused, or lose through lack of commitment. Something we need to learn - maybe Matty Peet needs to learn how to counter it too as it's been evident too often recently.

Still think we can beat Saints in GF btw.

Good post

I was there today & Wakey played like a team knowing they need to win every game & they played well. Was stood with Lee Briers’ Dad the whole game & Matt Peet’s in the first half.

The only thing that spoiled it IMO was the going down injured in the tackle stopping the game for several minutes then getting up & playing as normal. They, Wakey, did it quite a few times during this game. The young refs need to learn about play acting spoiling tactics.

Retype your Powell part, I accidently deleted it, still trying to get used to this moderator crack

Yeah, it’s not easy is it

So far it has been, but then there's been no major blueys, It's just all the controls

Yeah easy for you I’m doing it all

We are at the business end of the season, why would we blood youngsters now?

Most likely to finish second and can afford to take risks to rest and rotate ?

Do you mean settle for second?

You honestly think 1st is possible? No chance.

Our forwards are too small, too weak and too poor. No go forward. You need a pack to dominate before the backs excel. Quite simple really. Msgo may be a crowd favourite but I'd be less knackered than he gets after just 5 mins.

I'd replace everyone but Cooper and Farrell, but that's just me

Havard? Cannot be serious.

When Wigan stink they stink, but the plus side, there can be plenty crucifixtions outside the Royal Oak!!
