Personally i think Wane is a perfect number 2 for Wigan. Great rapport with the home grown players and young lads that hes brought through. However when it comes to big games we need more than his 'yer no were gonna be big n tuff and theyll no theyve bin in a game' Warrington pasted us at the HJ it was an embarrassment as was the cup semi at Hudds whether they had a few dodgy tries or not. Im not sure whether its all down to Wane or whether some of it is due to the experience that we keep losing seems like every year and lets be honest not replacing. Over the last few years losing Deacon Coley Hoffman Riddell Gleeson Joel and now Tommy Finch Fielden Carmont and Lima. Lets compare that to whose come in Luaki Smith Green and bringing Thornley back. Dress it up how you want but next year is our weakest side from when we nearly went down by along long way.

Correct , in Wigans favour last Friday night .

We were abysmal last week because we weren't allowed to be anything else. Not many sides would have looked good under the pressure that Leeds put us under both from their superb kicking game and line speed. Prior to the Watkins breakaway try we were well on top, but once they got ahead Sinfield murdered us with the boot.

Second half we put them under pressure with good line speed as opposed to waiting for them and it paid off with a few errors but we failed to capitalise.

yes the failure to sin bin the leeds player let alone penalise him in the dying seconds of the game was clearly in Wigans favour. And before you start banging on about the non-knockon that lead to our second try and then rewind a play when the players head was taken off and missed by Silverwood. When it matters.. when it REALLY matters Leeds get the rub. They did the Week before v Catalan and IIRC they won against Wire with a late penalty in last seasons semi. All teams get favourable calls but when a season depends on a call the refs are very keen to please the rhinos

We should have been better. Their game plan worked perfectly. Wane played into their hands putting a young inexperienced FB against Sinfield.

Quality!
