This is a very good point. Wane is Wigan born and bred, will he able to translate his ethos to another club and make it work.

Yes, one game, in fact less than one game was all it took for my enthusiasm to be squashed. Five up forward drives, kicks to King, no dummy runners, no set plays, no support play, no enthusiasm and a defence that was breached with farcical ease.

I watched all the weekend games and we were easily the most predicable, boring, one-dimensional and lifeless team on show.

Hull fan here; having watched the game I was amazed at how a squad with that much talent could play so poorly and predictably. On paper that team makes or narrowly misses out on the finals; in practise though I wouldn't fear them so it has to be a coaching issue and I don't quite know how you fix that with a coach who is going anyway and will have no say in contract offers etc for the next season, other than sack him now and appoint an interim coach, like we did with Andy Last, until your preferred choice is announced.

The preferred choice is Price though.

He's not the preferred choice next year though is he, which to be fair our guest was pointing out?
