I dunno there is some merit in the argument that some of RS's ways put players in the position to make errors but I do think it's overplayed on here because people simply don't like RS.
You're right about a lack of direction on the field, but this is why Frawley was brought in by Smith and I can't see him pushing the side about - which he actually did in the first few games. I think his confidence is shot.'"
Agreed, and cant blame him with some of the stick he gets ( me included to be honest) but I respect him enough as he pulls the shirt on and still goes out there

| You need to underpin that brand of "eyes up / play what you see / off the cuff" rugby league with some actual structure.
You cant just lob the ball around like a grenade with zero respect for your position on the field and before earning the right to play, its moronic.
Without structure when the chips are down you can fall back onto good line speed, hard tackling and even the 5 drives and a kick to clear your lines, we dont want to do any of that, we dont want to move up and tackle, we dont want to string together sets, we just want to chuck the ball around regardless of field position real dumb rugby.
When it inevitably fails like it has done multiple times over two seasons weve nothing solid to fall back on, players get frustrated, lose concentration and start making more and more basic mistakes or even wilder risker plays to make up the shortfall. I agree theres certainly a player issue that weve had to deal with constant squad injuries and disruption that also havent helped, but the coach sets the tone and the players take the lead.

| Surely the coach should be able to coach the players to do the basics under pressure and ensure the players are fit and have the right attitude. It seems on all these fronts Smith has failed.
I agree injuries are disruptive but why do we get so many are the players fit enough to withstand the rigours of elite football? Players should be able to tackle, pass and catch - Roberts drops the high ball more than he catches it - that is a core skill coaching issue. Short drop outs - again who suggested this?
Attacking structure and attacking plays - surely that is a coaching issues - allowing the attackers to come to you - again that is a coaching decision. Yes the players should do better but the coach needs to provide a platform for that to happen.

Wigan's team would struggle with this God awful system Rohan 'coaches' cos it's destined to fail.

| Wigan's team might feel under more pressure if their own fans started chanting "get out of our club" and booing the players on the field?
People here who seem to think bollocking people is the way forward and getting on their back, have you seen players like Roberts and Frawley respond to this from you all?
Bevan French would probably love RS - then again Wigan have a pack who can lay a platform unlike ours at the minute.

It shouldn't matter which back position u play in, catching a ball is a basic skill that it taught at U7 level.. these guys are prodessional sports people... if u can;t catch then u practice until u can.. simple.. a bit like kicking a ball, u practice until it;s second nature.
