| Last week Wane went with 3 halves in the 17, Powell and Smith at halfback and Williams on the bench to spell MM and also to be able to mix it up at times as if they had 3 halves on the field.
This week Wigan started with 2 halves, no doubt Wane thought he needed 4 forwards on the bench, Conner Farrell came on for the last 18 mins.
I always thought that when you went with 4 forwards on the bench it was because all of them could be spelled at least once
Wane could not have made it more clearer that Hampshire will not start at standoff unless he is forced into it (like he was in the Hudds match when Williams broke down in the warm up).
I can understand what Rogues and others have said about protecting him by saying he is not ready for an extended run at standoff, but after the complete lack of understanding shown by the halfbacks tonight something has to happen. In there defence though they were not helped by a pack which seemed to be completely rudderless.
Hampshire has got to be given a chance because Williams and Smith seem to play like complete strangers, if Wigan are not carful not only Hampshire but Williams as well will become so disjointed, that what promised to be the prospect of a glittering halfback partnership for years to come could be destroyed.
Hampshire has started 11 matches , 9 of them have been at fullback and only 2 at standoff and one of those at standoff was when he was a late replacement for Williams in the Hudds match.

He had the easiest run to the CC final and fluked the GF due to injuries.
Other than that he's be an abject failure. Last season was a poor one apart from a run of 5 games at the end of the year. As much as you don't like it he's judged on results and most importantly trophies and apart from that one season he's not delivered.
Funny how fans think he can't do anything wrong just because he's from Wigan. It's laughable as the results and performances are obviously going against him.'"
Well you can't have it both ways mate. If you are judging him on trophies - you can't then dismiss the trophy by saying we were lucky.
In three seasons he has won 1 of each trophy available. Has any other coach won 3 trophies in the last three seasons?
Who said anything about him doing no wrong? I recognise his faults. We are in a bad way - But he has earned the right to be given time to turn it around surely???
If you can't back a coach with Wane's record who can you back?

Well you should be able to guess from my username... My favourite bike; I've had a couple of them. One yellow and one red.
I came up to Wigan on the bike at the end of last season. It might have been the Leeds game? Friday night fixture, anyway. I remember I had a nice run back heading southeast from Manchester, Glossop way, into Derbyshire. Just lovely around there.

Yup. Brian McDermott - WCC and GF 2012, CC in 2014. We've been awful at times under him but I don't regret the club sticking by him (with hindsight, of course).
