| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Micky's just come off an off season which required a bone graft from his hip to his hand. He's also one of our most valuable players. Why burn him out early in the season? If we're going to use him for the full 80 let it be at the back end of the season when he's battle hardened, his hand has had longer to heal in a game that really counts.
In Powell on the bench we have a player who can cover the halves and dummy half; valuable incase someone gets injured or sent off.
I think people forget our players are actually human at times.'"
I mentioned that I hope it's just a case of not burning him out and easing him back in early in the season but longer term we need to get more minutes out of him I believe. It's not a case of him having to do 80 mins every single week but in close games I'd be loathed to take him off for too long. If we're a good few points up then take him off and keep him off if everything's going well so he can get some rest for situations like last night. |

If you read the latest (wigan evening news) then it is surprising that McM played as much as he did given that he had little pre-season, only started training fully a week before the Catalan game. I suspect that we will see more of him in games going forward. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row

It's not just Wigan who do it though is it? So there is obviously a reason. Just watch the tv games over the next few weeks (here and in aus) and take note.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

It will be interesting to see how it's handled if we end up reducing our interchange down to 10 or 8 in the future. The NRL are cutting down on this and it will mean forwards will be required to do longer stints.
Players like Isa, Farrell, Bateman etc will be invaluable as they play big minutes and can cover various positions.

Robot like coaching again......which Noble was slaughtered for.
We need to bring more imagination to using the interchange bench.
I know they will be using statistics they have from training and pre-season to when they get to the red line of being over worked but changing Micky Mac when he ok to carry on is just stupid.

Agreed. Was a testament to his desire and dedication to see him play. |

I am just letting you know what I have heard is happening the moral or professional aspects are not being discussed.
Lam will be the main coach 2019 and Edwards will work along side but not in public view until 2020 maybe we will end up following the Leeds Rhinos director of rugby style.
And Mr Lebron James replied with !!!!!!
