offer Bowen another year , put Sam 6, Williams 7 and still have Smith and Hampshire as back ups ? |

Clubb was ill for two days before the match and was on a glucose drip and perhaps shouldn't have played. I was surprised when he actually played. |

Smith signed a new 4 year contract last September. Daft decision in my eyes. It would no doubt have infuriated our academy players.

I don't understand how Rocky can't buy a game in the halves whilst Smith remains undropable. He must be doing something I can't see because to be it looks like he often goes missing in attack, doesn't have any real flair when he does get involved and is a poor defender.

Defensively he's a worry and has gone backwards. He is getting swatted off with ease recently and has missed some big tackles.

I think last night proved just how much Matty is holding us back. He stuck out like a sore thumb and this guy is being trusted right in the middle to create things and control the game (which he fails to do every week)
I appreciate he gives 100% but a Matty Smith 100% just isn't good enough i am afraid and he is not only halting the progress of others in his position but is also halting the progress of the team from making the step up. Time to go. Waney needs to show some balls and pick the team with head over heart.

I've just watched the game again. Smith had a poor game no doubt about it. I think he just lost his composure after dropping that kick off and then also Bowens pass.He hasn't got a running game so we needed him to give us direction with his passing and more importantly kicking, sadly he did neither.
Looking at the match stats there is no way Wigan should have lost that game.

Just popped on here to read your thoughts about last night. As a neutral I enjoyed the game.
As for Smith I think he is a decent player who obviously has a great attitude and is a good influence off the pitch too. It would be a mistake to have Williams and Hampshire as your halves. I don't think you can have two kids at half back and expect them to play well consistently, it would harm their development. I'd put Hampshire at full back next year with Williams and Tomkins in the halves and look for Hampshire to move up to stand off once Tomkins retires or moves on.

You are quite right, and if the two youngsters played together and fail, it will still be Wane's faulty for playing them.. He is in a very difficult position. I honestly think he would like to play them, but he has to win games. |

I beg to differ, I said to the chap next to me that we were making more yards but we were clueless and predictable with the ball. Four tries to three is the important stat and was exactly the point and my main worry all game. Leeds are always a threat, even when teams are on top, we aren't as dangerous when under pressure and when we are on top we aren't crafty enough to capitalise.
We lost that game through lack of ideas and poor choices with the ball, not through stats and meters made. Those stats say to me that we did the hard work, made more yards and didn't put the points on the board. Stats don't tell you about movement and dummy runners off the ball, that's where we lacked and why we were predictable. |
