| Williams, though, is not a 6!! He is a scrum half - preferably with Hampshire at 6.
The question is where does that leave Matty Smith. Bench 9 to spell MM if that is needed?
The problem with Conor Farrell is he isn't big enough - which is probably why Wane didn't put him on earlier.
Wigan might supposedly have a first team squad of 35 as keeps being mentioned, but where is there any size or power, particularly if a few players ( Flower and Lockers) are missing?
The problem may be that Wane is "too close" to the players he brought through the academy and junior teams - as Jonh has said, playing in a successful academy team should not guarantee your succession into the first team. Wigan have been crying out for a couple of big forwards for over a year - most teams seem to have several Antipodeans who are naturally bigger than most British players. Hence the shortcomings of the policy of mostly home grown/Wigan born players, when applied particularly to the forwards.
Cunningham and Long seem to have got it right at Saints - even the back row forwards are big units, including the young British lads.

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).
