Exactly, Jonh. You have summed up what so many of us have been thinking for several years. It's a pity that SW doesn't share our opinion.
The contrast between the Widnes halves ( ironically, 2 Wigan "rejects"icon_wink.gif was startling and there for everyone to see. I don't blame Lockers as he was playing out of position and filling in at stand off. I do blame Wane for never having given Rocky a chance to play regularly in his rightful position at 6, with George Williams playing in his correct position at 7.
I don't buy into the argument of 6 and 7 now being the same, one playing on the left and one on the right. What you do need is 2 halves who have pace, as well as the ability to take on the line. Any decent half should be able to organise and "direct" the traffic and kick - which is supposed to be the alleged reason Smith continues to keep his place.
This defeat has been coming all season! By the way, who is actually coaching Wigan's backs at the moment? Is it SW? How can a former prop forward do that effectively? Or is it Matty Peat?
We need a backs coach - and have done for over a year.

The last time we had a virtually Wigan raised team was in the giddy days of Melling, Hollingsworth and Fairhurst.
The idea that we can play anyone anywhere for me is the biggest reason for the dilution of talent.
If I want a new window frame fitting I don't call for a plumber.
IL KR and SW seem to think that a jack of all trades is superior to a master. Maybe IL won't pay for a master or that KR and SW wouldn't know a master even if he only had one ear and his hands were covered in orange paint.
One for the arty types there.

If Wane doesn't target their left hand defence next Friday - Owens/Dawson/Walsh v Medfredi/Gelling/Bateman he should be out of a job by Saturday.

Well for once Wigan and Saints won't be the biggest game on Good Friday that will be Widnes and Wires what a treat for them and no TV, it seems Waney And Cunningham go to the same school of coaching with both sets of fans moaning about their style of play, I agree with most on here and it does get boring watching the same tactics week week out,lets hope this is just a warm up before the serious end of season stuff

Anything less than a sell-out would be very poor considering it's not on SKY.
