I think Hansen got MOM. John Monie used to have words with the sponsors and explain who deserves mom and why.

At the game my mate said he couldn't believe Richards had got MOM then I heard them announce Hansen.

I'm thinking they may have made an error and announced it twice.

Im bumping this thread. Both awful again.

Im struggling as to why nobody has picked up on Farrell's bad form the last 5-6 weeks, it doesn't seem to get a mention. The lines he ran last night were awful.

I agree with you on Farrell and the lines he is running. Green got a lot of stick last night for feeding Farrell time after time and not going out the back - but Farrell just wasn't hitting the gaps! His drop in form is a big worry.

It's hard to be critical of Richards, he does a winger's job. A few times last night we worked an overlap, Thornley drew the man and didn't pass to Richards in space. The service to him (in recent weeks) has been crap.

I thought Wigan did very well to hold Shudds until half time. Apart from Charnley, who I think is currently the best winger in SL, you were lacking any world class players. Plenty of solid, reliable players - Farrell, Hansen, Goulding, MMc, Mossop types - some great young kids, and some living off past glories - Richards, Luauki (sp). You desperately missed O'L and Tomkins.

Im still a huge fan of Green and I think its unfair the stick he is getting. Last night he was missing Smith, Lockers and Sam out of the attacking line, he was trying everything on his own in the second half. Every time he looked to hit Farrell on the outisde he was either stood still or ran the complete wrong line. Green must be really frustrated at the minute, the first half of the season I think we saw the real Blake Green, a classy 6 who can hit his outside runners and create space.

One problem I think I can see is the difference how Wigan line up in attack when Sam plays and when he doesn't.
When he plays Wigan seem to position themselves deeper which gives the second rows and outside backs that bit more time to see the gaps for Sam and other players to exploit.

When he does not play Wigan are so flat that when an outside player receives the ball the defence is in his face, hence the amount of ball dropped in the man and ball collisions.

When Wigan tried to get in Hudds faces their halfbacks kicked us to death with their little chips through, Wigan only seem to try the little kicks when they are within 10yds of the line.

Richards hasn't done anything wrong, he might stand a chance if he ever got the ball. He must miss George Carmont like mad (as do we all)

+1, add on top of that the really poor performance from Powell who isn't ready for SL just yet, Hampshire on the other hand is. Blake & Smith have suffered from injuries (from late shoulder charges) and shoudlnt be too harshly judged, however as a fan its sooooooo frustrating to watch.Farrell & Green need synch training they are on completely different wavelengths at the moment. They lads know they are better than the last half a dozen peformances, but I'm getting a sense that either Wane hasn't learnt anything from these last few matches or he hasnt got any other choices available to him- and that would be a sad situation to be in for the business end of the season.

I have seen him get the ball plenty of times this season, when was the last time he went round his opposite winger? There are many times when Charnley would have finished the chances that Richards has had. He is still solid, reliable etc but just hasnt the pace these days to be a top winger. In fact I am staggered that he has got a gig again in the NRL.

Pat used to get a lot of his tries by catching a bomb to the corner. I don't remember the last time he got one of those.
As for his pace, he lost that after the Grand Final. He's been a great servant to the club for many years, but it is time to replace him.
