Neither do good coaches.

To be fair Wayne Bennett would probably have struggled to achieve results in that job. London have not exactly gone from strength to strength since Mcdermott left have they?

Flat Stanley. I didn't call him a twerp for having a horrendous 2016 as you allege. It is for blaming the floods for the latest defeat and for his outburst last year when we lost at Leeds with a heavily depleted team due to injuries and suspensions. As far as I can tell, he hasn't had the grace to acknowledge the massive improvement in the Reds performance compared to last year. If he hadn't had his outburst last year, there would have been no need to do so. With his outburst last year, it would have been the decent thing to do.

Ever considered that in Brian McDermots world we haven't improved, just his side have declined beyond comprehension from last year!

Sadly I try to avoid Messrs Wane and Dermott in their post-matches' interviews and comments: they rarely explain the game but give out excuses or challenging opinions. This is a pity as both clubs have produced excellent rugby and I would like to get an understanding of what made them do what they did.
Interesting, if you wander over different forums (fori?) on different sites as I have. There's a link between some of their fans' criticisms. Some Wiganers bemoan the dependance on home-produced players over buying in Aussies. Some Loiners are screaming for a play-maker and suggesting from overseas. Compare this to the several smug trolls who bemoaned our club's "mercenaries" and pointed to their success as they develop their own players, so do not need to panic buy. Mmm?

I agree with DirkDiggler's comment.

Fora I think

I agree with the rest of what you say. Some Wigan fans have been complaining about Wane's signings for years saying they have t been as good as the ones they're replacing and, whilst appreciating the quality of the kids coming through, wanting more quality experienced players through the spine. But they've still reached the last 3 grand finals winning 1

Leeds have been average a few times early in the season for a few seasons before last year coming good in time for the play offs so will be interesting to see how they are at the back end of this season. It's hard to see them making the top 4 this year but it's far from impossible. They were always going to miss peacock and sinfield and I was surprised they didn't go for a new half back to replace sir Kev
