I have always said that everyone should give the guy a break and he will show up a decent player.

i have to agree that recently he has taken control of the game alot more and has created alot more oppurtunitys

I don't have any particular favourite player - not since Neil Cowie - but I am hoping that come next year we can have one or two really outstanding players that can stir the crowds. I have never rated Carney, although Rads has been a very solid player since he joined the first team. I can't see why the crowds get excited when Brown gets the ball, he never does anything with it. Once he twice in the past couple of seasons he has done something worthy of a shout. Can't say I was thrilled when it was announced that he had signed for another season. BTW - did anyone see Martin Offiah win the Weakest Link on BBC1 last night. He looks a lot leaner than last time he was on telly. Well done Martin!!! :eusa2:

Is this because you drink more every time you see him? :wink:
He had a better game on friday, him and orr are looking more like half backs than they have all season.

Typical, when Orr spends most of the 2nd half playing centre with the equally-limping Brett Dallas! And Moran's try was good... for a centre. Things are starting to improve with their combinations, but Moran creates most of his chances for Moran rather than the rest of the team, and Orr is still a worry in terms of injuries. I'm hoping it'll work next season, but not totally convincing at the moment.

True, and I'm very happy when things come off for him. But we've got other players in the team who can score tries and ideally we'd have someone who can create things across the park for any of the other 12 players. We can't rely on a grubber kick through the defense for him to chase himself. I know he's got more options than that, but you watch him play and that accounts for a lot of what he does. Maybe understandable when he's come from a team where he's got to do most of the attacking himself because of his less-talented teammates, but at Wigan he's got to learn to share the workload a bit more.

yes but you have to remember that we dont have as many tallented teammates at the moment and the ones we do (e.g. orr) are busy defending all the time to make up for our less tallented players mistakes and or lazyness

Its a good job Moran took that interception because Wakefield were lining up outside to score but I thought he had quick legs for a little fella!

My opinion of him generally is one of disappointment when he played for London he was one of their most exciting players, when he came off the bench he seemed to scare most defenses and on many occasion I praised his abilities. However I thought when he came to Wigan he seemed to lose his rugby brain! Just lately it seems to be returning (Must be that infamous pieamnesia) but even lately there have been some worryingly rubbish kicks and passes! I really want him to be that player he was at London and just hope that he can.

As for Danny Orr I could only watch the game at home this week (New house means decorating priorities etc...) and I have to say I hate Stevo the Stains biased man just doesn't have a clue! So imagine my laughter when he began berating Orr for kicking on the second for moments later Tickle to crash through and take his kick for an inch perfect try. Class I couldn't have shut him up better myself I nearly fell off my chair with joy!!!

So why aren't they attacking when we have the ball instead of defending?! No wonder we can't score enough points.
