Congrats…… it was a good effort but not much in the way of attack tbh….. like most have said ,we definitely need hastings in the halfs and possibly zak and field to bolster our backs before we can click…… french was massive to us in attack
Without French Wigan seem to have nothing in attack a one trick pony it seemsFirestarter wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:49 amCongrats…… it was a good effort but not much in the way of attack tbh….. like most have said ,we definitely need hastings in the halfs and possibly zak and field to bolster our backs before we can click…… french was massive to us in attack
Hey many congratulations to Dan, his missus & Baby Girl Dan2266
xxLooked to us as if the giants player took a swipe & Ollie or I thought it was Amir & he stuck up for his small team mate, Ollie won’t take step back but doesn’t go looking for trouble now!keptinthedarkfans wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:52 am Congratulations Dan. Played better than expected with team picked some good signs from players brought back in partington is starting to look like a liability goes looking for trouble that's not there. Seriously lacking direction and firepower but at this stage a win is a win.
I was referring more to the forwards being dummy / decoy runners. It’s too much catch and pass from 9 to 7 to 6. That’s why we never create space because the defence just numbers up and doesn’t need to slide.moto748 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 11:13 pmObviously, but as far as the forwards were concerned, you can't say that Wigan were dominated by the opposing pack tonight and never got a sniff; we had a fair amount of ball in attacking positions. At the most basic level, we seem to lack support for the ball carrier how can you take advantage of an offload or slipped pass if you're not on the shoulder?nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 10:08 pm
Down to the coach, halves and forwards to make the space for fullback, centre and wingers
Good to hear, He's looked crap the few times I've seen him but last weeks game he showed how good he could be, Hope he continues to get more game time at 1 and improves even moreGraham1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 11:00 pm Both Hanley and Halsall coped well under the high ball. Hopefully, Hastings will go back into the halves next week which should help. But nobody seems to create any space or overlaps like other teams do. This has gone on since the start of the season it makes you wonder what are we practicing in training. I know we have had a lot of injuries and suspensions but seriously Lam needs to be replaced for next season.
Yes josie I have . I watch more academy and amateur rl than sl . And don't have tinted colour glasses on in assessing players. Imo and I am entitled to that he gets involved in minor things and turns them into a penalty there is a big difference between standing up for you team mate and blowing things out of proportion for ego. Also he is not only one from academy the young props are getting headlines for wrong reasons there egosjosie andrews wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 8:00 amLooked to us as if the giants player took a swipe & Ollie or I thought it was Amir & he stuck up for his small team mate, Ollie won’t take step back but doesn’t go looking for trouble now!keptinthedarkfans wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:52 am Congratulations Dan.

Did you never see Ollie play for the academies? He’s nothing like he was, he probably got sent off every couple of games back then. His discipline has improved 100%
