| Quote: just_browny "This just comes across as a bit petulant. Wigan haven't got to where they have with a load of eye catching signings. French is a great player, but so are Williams and Dufty. Wigan are a great side because they get the best out of decent players like Miski, Leeming, Havard etc and work cohesively as a team.
We've got a lot of the cohesion this year but probably need to improve again in the forwards, including getting some big dinners into the likes of Holroyd and Whitehead. If we do that, we don't need to sign up the entire Dally M team of the year, and as you well know the salary cap wouldn't allow us to.'"
Wasn't meant as petulant but I take your point.
In my view we are unproven at scrum half and limited at right centre.
We seem to be light in the forwards and our best forward may be leaving. We dont have a reliable goal kicker.
But we will see next season.

Pretty much said this myself regarding those positions and with reports of Russell in this mornings match I’m concerned. I did say when he was announced I did not see him as a replacement for Nicholson and that I’m not sure how we improve on this season.
Like you we will see next season I guess.

| Little rumour on our (Wigan's) board that we've signed a young out of contract HB, a six, from you, nothing confirmed, just wondering if you've heard any whispers ?

If that’s true maybe we’ll see a massive dummy spit from Burgess like the ‘likeable’ Peet.

Peet saw his arris good and proper over Nicholson. His face is a picture. About as classy as those Wigan fans singing "you're sh it" with 3 mins to go last night,

It is still one of the most laughable outbursts I can remember. Not least because Nicholson is a Halifax lad who learnedhis rugby at Siddal, he is not some Wiganer raised on pie barms.

| Quote: Captain Hook "Last night absolutely demonstrates the importance of winning LLS in my view. KR had the guts sucked out of them in the game against us and we had them on the ropes but couldn’t finish them off, possibly due to our efforts against Saints.
Wigan had a nice rest, then an easy game against Leigh.
KR looked like a team who had peaked last week.'"
I see we have swung full circle from "Tony Smith's teams peak too early by winning the LLS. Look at McDermott's Leeds - they finish 5th and peak at the right time".

To quote a very wise man “Say what you see”.

| You can be the best team by a mile and win the LLS at a canter, but it means nothing if you then lose when it counts. See Cas in 2017. Ultimately you need to put yourself in a position to win two games at the end of the season, and then win them. Wigan, Saints, and for many years Leeds, are really good at that.

| The point is by winning the LLS you give yourself the best path to the final and should be in the best shape. It obviously does not guarantee you will win the GF. I thought I was stating the bleeding obvious…
