Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Watched the game on tv perhaps now the curtains will fall from Marty Peets eyes and realise he’s. Very good half back in Keighran and the future with luck Farrimond so it’s time to stop with the Ryan Hampshire experiment which isn’t working and if the game calls for it move players round young Zac won’t let anyone down at centre it’s time to say goodbye and move on.

I only think Hampshire was getting picked because Farrimond is suspect in defence. He was again last night but the rest of the edge defence was much improved.fozzie58 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 10:26 am Watched the game on tv perhaps now the curtains will fall from Marty Peets eyes and realise he’s.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Can take him defence being dodgy,it is mainly because he’s still learning the ropes he just offers so much more for me than Hampshire has ever done attack is after all the best form of defenceCaboosegg wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 10:34 amI only think Hampshire was getting picked because Farrimond is suspect in defence.

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Didn't expect to win when I saw that team. Superb win and a real testament to the spirit and ethos at the club under Peet/Wane/et al.
Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Surely at the end of the day, Farrimond is a pretty little guy. He is always going to be targetted in defence; he knows that, like all the smaller players do. He just has to work to be the best he can.

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
A solid performance from a makeshift team.
The thing about Keighran to me was how he responded to being given responsibility. We must find a way of using him more when Smithy and Bevan are back.
Similarly, we've got to find a role for Farrimond. I'm not making a direct comparison, but didn't we protect Shaun Edwards from being targeted by opposition forwards by giving him a brief to shadow behind the main line of defence?

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Edwards played wing and full back at first. Totally different game back then. We have defensive systems now… I thought Farrimond made some great tackles, and do did Peet.
Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
I've only just now seen the tries properly on the TV. And three belters they were too! So looking forward to seeing the full game now when it's available.

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Fair point, just watching the game back now and, around 30 minutes, Walmsley then Lees run at Farrimond and he dumps them on their backsides on succesive tackles, not too shabby. Telling also how Walters and Dupree where there to finish the tackles off - we have learnt how to defend that tactic better.
