Blimey folks, anyone would think we're a game from relegation, alright the team are'nt playing well, though yesterday was encouraging, remember we have a very young team,
No, only Allen, Melling, Hansen and Brown (who is experienced anyway) were "young" players in that game. The others are all over 21 and some have plenty of experience. This young team tag has gown old!
ok I know the saying, if they're good enough they're old enough, but they are young! and we've had a very bad run of injuries, it will be a big difference when we have a consistant team that have played together for a few games and know each others play and are, most importantly fully fit! Come on guys we need to be behind the team, being Wigan doesnt entitle us to a win, and the standards of superleague have risen dramatically this season.
SL isn't that great IMO. Not a patch on rhe NRL and at the same time our standards have slipped. We have gone backwards not stood still and the others caught up. If that were true we would be playing well not coming up with the UTC performance.
No one thinks we have a right to win everythng and I am sick of seeing it implied that some people think we have that right. No one thinks it and it is not why people are complaining about what we are being served up at the moment.
I am as of yet to decide on Bett's skills as a coach, but he did well last season when he took over from Greg, I like him to be given some more time, lets see what happens when we have a few games with the same team! If we did sack Betts I think we shouldnt even consider Millward as replacement, as Saints wouldnt sack a coach of his calibre for no reason!
I can't see Wigan going for Millward unless he is exhonerated in some way from his reported and alleged misdemenours.
