No problems here, 'mate', I'm just intrigued at this enthusiasm of you Wigan fans to come on here over the last couple of days....

Given his game plan on Friday, I hold my hand up you are right he shouldn’t be coaching

That’s what is successful in modern rugby league, there is no coincidence that teams that have won the Grand Final have all had wingers that make the hard yards. By the way, I never said that Wire’s wingers aren’t good to watch but they weren’t effective in the wet weather. Hence Powell introducing Russell for Thewlis.

Well when Abbas Miski (an enforced change to the Wigan line-up) becomes a GF winning winger you can come back and say you told us all so. Until that point he'll have to make do with having had a decent game in a dominant Wigan performance that saw them massacre us by 7 points.

And when Warrington have won a GF you can come and tell me how your wingers contributed to your success. I just hope you live long enough to witness it.

FYI Wigan have been making the change of position during games tactically to get French to 1 and Field to 6. King has been moving to the wing and Cust has been phased out for longer and longer periods during games.

It was at this point it became obvious the move would be made longer term given this is when we started to tick as a team and score points. King like Miski was very effective on the wing for periods in games because he is another player that makes robust carries and big metres. You would be stupid to use a bench spot on a winger but it was always coming down to how is the team more effective. Is it with Cust in the team or Miski, it’s clear Cust was being phased to cover half and doing spells at 9. I think the form of O’Neil and Miski means he will struggle to get back in the 17 when everyone is fit.

Do you have to win a Grand Final to be considered a good player? Some very average players have been part of successful teams that have won Grand Finals….Gill Dudson for example.

Yep, we are definitely here to just have respectful RL chat and not to gloat over and mock Wire's inability to win a SL title...

French is probably the best in every back position bar scrum half at Wigan.

McGuire is listed as a prop on your website so Powell and the club must think he is. What would concern me is the lack of cover you have in the backrow.

Maybe that's why we have him the 13 shirt for this season.

He's a loose forward covering prop because he can play there too.

Tell Powell and Fitzpatrick to change the website. There is no such thing as a loose forward in modern rugby he is a ‘middle’.
