Quote Mike Ehrmantraut="Mike Ehrmantraut"Longy was telling anyone who'd listen at Chester races last weekend how he regrets leaving and would give anything to come back.'"
I was told he was seen at the Stadium last night..
Quote Mike Ehrmantraut="Iain"How much of last year's attacking flair was Long and how much was Holdsworth/Patten/Moon doing their own thing? I ask as we showed none of the same moves earlier this season while Longy was still here. I'm not having a go at Long, just wondering how tangible his attacking coaching actually is.'"
Holdsworth & Patten were there before Long and apart from the inside pass to the Fullback joining the back line. non of the more structured attacking moves from 2012 were obvious so there must have been some influence .
I think no pre-season and a squad of rag-tag of hand-me downs & loanees are more responsible for the lack of structure in our attack this season , I'd imagine Wayne Bennett would have struggled.
I'm told he had a good influence on Fages & academy backs and they were gutted when he left. That's what Wigan were after when they took him on but obviously thing didn't go as planned.
