Our county is called Lancashire, not Cumbria,
Greater Manchester, Merseyside or part of Cheshire
Celebrate Lancashire Day - 27th November: |

| We've been very poor since the Magic weekend.
I certainly think that because of the young age of the team, we are suffering from a level of fatigue that is not being affected on older players.
The players have shown us what they are capable of earlier in the season, I think that once this group mature they will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come.
Injuries have also played a part in the dip in form, the replacements coming in are even younger and not quite ready for the first grade: they have shown glimpses of their quality and will improve with time.
Rather than doom and gloom, I am really looking forward to future seasons as I think we have a promising bunch of talented young players that will serve the club well.

| The most striking aspect for me last night was the lack of enthusiasm. The little simple things in the game for example getting up quickly and set at the markers. On one occasion Catalans had a scrum with 10 mins to go 10 m out from their own line, did we make an effort to stop the clock? Nope, not a chance.
We can only hope this masterplan for peaking in big games will come off next week. However, I'm not sure you can turn form on like a tap...

You would increase training intensity in a cycle beforehand, so to be at peak peformance in september and october you'd be training yourself into the ground now then easing off for the playoffs. So if a team has an increased workload during the week their performances are likely to be flatter.

thanks for the vote of confidence
as BK says, its about going into the KO stage with freshish players.
We burned out last season, and i am expecting Hudds to burn out this time around...hence i want to play them

| Quote: NickyKiss "I was sat having a think about why our form keeps falling off a cliff at the back end of every season since 2011 and I've come to the conclusion that it's because of the constant departures that are either rumoured or confirmed. I think they affect the guys who are staying as much as the ones leaving. It must be as frustrating for the players staying as it is for the fans to keep seeing the team ripped up with no signs from Ian Lenagan that he can, or even wants to stop it happening.
In 2011 we lost lads like Hoffman, Joel, Deacon and Coley. We then lost guys like Leuluai, Carmont, Finch, Lima and Fielden last year and will lose Richards, Mossop, Tuson and obviously Tomkins this year. You can even look in to the future and see the departures of guys like Charnley and Hansen coming a mile off.
It's so scary seeing all those names written down. The quality and cap space that has gone out of the door in comparison to what has come in is just doesn't stack up IMO.'"
I've been saying it for a while, the sheer quality that's gone and continues to go against what we bring in(good players that they are) is very scary and i just can't understand it.

Correct. Any Wigan fan who attended the Hudds game feels the same.
