Lima in pre season frienlies was also outstanding but yet in superleague so far he has been at best average IMO, I don't know why but he has . Also Finch has so far not lived upto my expectations but it is still early doors yet.
Agree that Hoff is OK. But we haven't won a game with Finch which,IMO, is because of Finch. Played 3 Won 0
Just wish we hadn't signed any of em. Convinced we could have used our Salary Cap better than we have!

We signed 3 expensive players from the 'Mighty Storm' to take us to the next level. They have wiped out last seasons achievements and taken us backwards!
Finch. Can't see us winning a game with him in the side. Lazy, slacker, bottler and only here for the money.
Lima. More than likely be banned for more games than he plays. Not that he's all that bloody good when he's on the pitch!
Hoffman. Best of the 3 by far but we were never short in the second row!
We lost Piggy and should have focussed on replacing him whilst developing Mellor and Powell.
Frankly, I would play Chris Taylor before I let Finch put the shirt on again!

Hoffman is a very good player, reminds me a bit of Bryan Fletcher I have no problems with him.
Lima is hit and miss, sometimes he looks like an excellent prop other times he does nothing...plus is discipline is shocking.
Brett Finch just reminds me of the mistakes of the past, bringing an Aussie into a key position and presuming he wil play well. It's true that Richards had a rubbish first season but has been excellent since but Pat was playing in a team going through a huge transition, plus he was playing out of position. Wigan are defending champions, we shouldn't have to take a step backwards to go forwards...i thought writing off seasons to let players 'gel' was a thing of the past.

Because 'these three' are the major difference between last season and this and obviously the reason why the team are not performing!!

how about we're now the team to be shot at, we've had a wcc to distract us and the halves and back line have had to be swapped around more than at any point last year.
there's plenty of 'major differences' if you know what to look for.

Constant team change through injuries, suspensions, new players trying to settle in,
End of Leadership group captain rotation?
End of hooker rotation/minus Piggy,
No Stuart Fielden, some even say No Feka,
Home form poor at the end of last season, continued in 2011. Plenty bad form well before 3 players especially Finch,
Fickle fans in part to blame for Home form / Away form discrepancy, CONFIDENCE is huge in sport,
Different conditioning, geared more to later in season? look how well players finish the game but how lack lustre they start?
Madge rumours, Look at Hudds when they had similar rumours, even Brown announcing he was leaving
SO SO MANY POSSIBLE REASONS, LETS CARRY ON BLAME,
Bring back the stocks
