| Early days, he's caught by trying to pick players to get them to gel (Asotosi HB combinations), play them into form (Atkins Bridge Myler)whilst managing a few injuries (Wood Harrison Russell) and trying a few younger lads out (Ormsby Riley Evans Laithwaite)
Sorry we've not seen more of Rhys Evans and Dwyer to be honest but I think that there is a real search by TS for our best 17 until we find that and a way to play it's going to be tough.
Last night wasn't the worst I've seen by a long way Wigan probably deserved their win but a bit more composure we could've nicked it and this board would have been a different place.
Also a bit strange seeing our right hand side getting attacked constantly

| Mike Monaghan is captain and Higham is our best hooker so Dwyer is going to find it tough getting in the side.
GOB had his first ordinary game which is the excuse Tony Smith has been looking for to drop him, Myler is untouchable it would seem.
Asotasi is just a run of the mill prop, severely underwhelming and I guess won't be dropped, Captain material they said, a leader at Souths? Really? He's quiet, he drives in half ars*d in fact sometimes will pointlessly pass so not to have to take it in. Inspire? He's the Chesterfield of spires.
Riley must have body dismorphia syndrome, he looks in the mirror and sees an 8 stone weakling, run it in lad you're an absolute beast and don't skip leg day at the gym, in fact double up on leg day.

I can see it's going to be tough, but, why haven't we seen more of Dwyer to make our minds up?
I accept that it is Tony Smith's mind, not ours that needs to be made up, but, it appears that its already a done deal on the hooking places, which is a bit of a shame IMO
Not quite sure this captaincy thing is working either

| Lots of frustration on here - and I can easily understand that.
We were well beaten and didn't really look like breaking the Wigan line all night. Wigan were well worth their 10 point margin and to be honest I didn't expect anything else.
I thought Westwood and Waterhouse were immense last night. You couldn't fault either for commitment and desire.
Russell showed promise and Ormsby did OK.
Monas and Higham had reasonable games - Monas particularly injecting some 'attacking' defence.
But I also have to credit Wigan (through gritted teeth) for their defence which snuffed us out completely.
I was also mightily impressed with their attack and in particular their 'blitzkreig' like moves have 4-5 players close together in 2 lines attacking our flank. Most impressive against our right. I've not seen that before, and once they'd broken the line there is no way Joel would catch his opposite number. He's got a lot of attributes but simply isn't fast - come back Spider......
TS has a lot of work to do and it's clear he's not sure of the way to play the halves. For what it's worth I don't think you can easily interchange halves. They're too pivotal.
But look at other 'winning' teams in the past and they've developed through the year. Let's hope....

Building every season? You didn't recruit at all last season. This season you signed Asotasi, Russell and brought Penny back. Time was, Wire would bid for every decent player they could lay their hands on!
