Wigan squad for Leeds (R21)

[Firestarter]

You’re having a laugh if you think we will finish top or win the GF. I can’t see us winning more than 2 of our next 5 games.

Really? We were terrible but , even without smith , we should win more than 2

We won’t beat Saints, Hull KR or Leeds again. Should beat Hull FC but who knows as we are utter shite at the moment.

With energy its amazing what a difference it will make.Im actuslly glad farrimond will be back but i dont want hampshire or byrne anywhere near this team.Well at least carneys happy and hes now asking all the questions to martin ,so that we pick up more bans than we deserve

If TL is our attack coach. Sorry been a great player for Wigan. But an attack coach he is definitely not. Dint let briers go to saints get him back here. Fast

Been talking about squad rotation since before this period of 3 games in 10 days and Matt Peet just goes pretty much full strength for all games. This is the sort of tired performance you'd expect. I don't know whether it's too much confidence in our squad, not enough confidence in our fringe players, or not enough respect for Leeds, but I can't see how this has been beneficial for us.

Even when we were dominating possession early on our attack was lethargic. We weren't testing Leeds at all and there wasn't enough movement or conviction in our play.

Our discipline was poor but a lot of those came from some very lazy efforts. I can't even blame Keighran for his penalties conceded as it was clear he was struggling right from the start when he looked strained and running in treacle chasing down Rhyse Martin from the break.

I just hope this doesn't make things even worse, particularly with Smith likely to be suspended for a few games.

Jesus wept what a shocker that was for the love of god do not play hapless Hampshire or Byrne again it’s time to bite the bullet and say enough is enough with those two.

What on earth has happened to harry smith? Still I suspect he will get a game or two to reflect on how poor he’s been of late and perhaps recal he’s not old himself and stop berating the younger lads.

And yes I know Wigan have won all sorts but maybe at least look at getting Briers back?

Team didn't click in attack at all.

Hampshire twice passed to farrel who was marked when field was lined up with a gap.

Those two wrong options bomb to pretty much stopped two walk in tries.

There where plenty more in the game but it's sums up the afternoon nothing clicked.

Losing Smith with French our and Hampshire picking up an arm injury is bad though.

Hopefully though it will force us to change how we play as this making Smith do everything and not trusting his half partner is making us very one dimensional.

Amazing how quickly people turn

We beat them in the forwards for 20-30 mins.Bar their first try we defended well first 40.Its our attack that worries me.We have got to find a better way to attack and stop just driving the ball in on the 4th which is poor.Yes we are tired but throwing the ball around is not as tiring as all the wrestling stuff.Im not doubting we will finish top and still win the grand final but we need to be more fluent against crap like these men and hull.Once again what has Byrne added? Pointless bench spot when forber,farrimond, hill and even Dupree could take.I cant see hampshire playing again this year personally

Mate, I think you are being harsh on Byrne he saved two tries today. I think the blame sits with the coaching staff, there is no reason why we shouldn’t have put fresh legs in that team. We were absolutely knackered today. Eseh, Chan, Dupree, Byrne, Hill, Mago and Walters should have been in that team not because they are better than Thompson, Havard, Faz, Nsembe and Ellis but simply because they are fresher.

The attack has been poor all season. Who's fault is it? Just the players? If so then why do we need any coaches at all?

Cant knock the freshness thing pal.Byrne doesnt do enough mins for me( especially considering hes fresh).Like i said its the attack that worries me and farrimond is easily our best option atm.We all know we were far too forward heavy this season and its showing massively.Will be a massive win if we do beat saints next weekend.Keep the faith
