I'd also throw Leeds away into the injuries being a major factor games.DaveO wrote:
If you actually watch the games you will also note that whatever side we have out we always get enough field position in the oppositions 20m area such that we should come away with points far more than we are doing. Particularly against poor sides like Widnes, Salford, and HKR.
It's the same throughout the season if you care to look. Rarely have all those you list been missing at the same time, strong Wigan sides take the field and they can't score to save their lives despite getting in prime position to do so time after time. Only Wakefield away and possibly Wire away can you say injuries were the major factor in the result.
If we were spending the game's pinned in our own half getting pasted you might have a point but since we often dominate field position for long periods and come away empty handed the injury excuse is just very lame and misses the fundamental problem, poor tactics from a poor coach.
Likewise injuries don't mean that our wingers should be carting the ball up from our own 20m line, that Smith never takes the line on or every attack should end in a grubber kick!
