He was rubbish there last time and we lost all the threat he created at half backCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:21 pm https://twitter.com/WiganWarriorsRL/sta ... 51/photo/1
Hastings fullback.
Totally do not agree with this comment, Hankinson showed plenty of ability he was consistent and reliable, accept he isn't a world beater but showed alot more than we have at the moment!!Caboosegg wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:46 pmThey docherry toffee wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:12 pm If the decisions regarding Hanley and Hallsall have been made with their future development in mind those are valid points Mike but they don't explain management decisions to not recall Hankinson when we are short of both centres and goal kickers when he does both, even if was only for a short period
Hankinson showed nothing when he did play in SL
Don't need a kicker when you can't score tries
Lam obviously learned nothing from the HKR game.Charriots Offiah wrote:

It seems crazy why he isn't being recalled
his goal kicking would be a welcome bonus
No idea what the loan deal is? but raises questions of the coach / management of the squad yet again?
The trouble with all this is that if the fear is playing Hanley in his natural position is going to damage him what on earth do you think playing him on the wing is doing?Mike wrote:Its true, but we chose not to play KR at full back back then for his developement. Now we're saying because we have no recognised full back and we're playing very badly, we should drop this young kid straight in. Clearly the plan for Hanley was to give him some first team experience and let him develop.
Maybe its the right thing to do to forget about the damage this could do to one player's development when the team need a short-term fix, let him sink or swim? But I would say that the coaching staff almost certinly had a plan for Hanley and it look like their following that to me.
I don't know what's the right thing to do TBH, but these decisions are not made because the head coach is an idiot. These are professional RL coaches making decisions that they think benefit the development of players and therefore the longer term health of the club, and weight those against the short-term success on the field. You might not agree with what they decide to do, but I'd say people in the club are giving this a lot of thought, and aren't idiots.
