47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| Ok we got taken apart by Wigan. We are behind Wigan by someway. Not one of those 3 games have been close. Unlike last year when we lost and drew with wigan in 3 games but they where closer.
Having said that I am not panicing, yes Wigan took us apart and yes we are unlikely to win anything, but the season is also about playing other teams and we can compete with others.
Taking all that as said,
Lance did less today and it's clear the kicking duties have been removed to help him do less.
Wheeler well he does have talent, but in terms of a dependable centre to turn up match after match, for me Jones is winning the contest for that centre shirt unless we are signing 2 centres.
I'm taking as written that Meli, Shenton and probably Wellens will move on or retire, Wellens does offer himself up to run the lines we need, but is now getting caught in defense and attack.
Wigan were very good and for an extended period we had no ball, but and it's a big but far more worrying was Wigan being a man less for 20 - 30 minutes and they score against us and we struggle to pass them. A decent half would have torn them a new one, we may still have lost but it should have been a closer finish.
The forwards once again take most of the credit, what little there was to give out at the end. But our weakest defense and our weakest attacking point all come from the backs.
I've no doubt that Gaskell will not get picked next week and we'll perform alot better against Hull FC. In fact we may go on a decent run, but come the end we'll be reminded once again that the forwards and Roby are not enough against better defenses. With backs leaking around both edges and providing little threat in attack, we are playing with half a team. The fact that half of the team can front up and take on most teams gives me hope for the future.

Yes, well, like I said in my amended post, Simmons took us to a CC semi last year too and to a Grand Final. You can hardly hold it against him that he didn't do that this year given that he was sacked!

You thought Wheeler looked bad in defence? Did you see how bad Turner was in defence; several times worse!

Didn't see that game.
I was watching the hudds game at magic sunday and hudds right centre was ripped to shreds!
Any idea who he was?

| One of the big problems I have with Wheeler is the way he seems to give up chasing defenders once they are past him. On a couple of occasions he could have got back to at least hamper Wigan breaks had he simply kept his foot on the pedal.

I noticed him shooting out of the line a number of times.
