| I like that Ben Roberts at Cas, pity as I think he's signed a new deal with them.

| Quote: stillinthepast "You are correct in saying that when Madge came in and that we were brilliant, this is were the Wigan "famed structure" came from. But under Wane this knowledge gained from Madge has been slowly diluted season by season albeit without the calibre of player we had then.
The problem is Sean does not seem to have any idea how to correct it, or what is more of a worry there does not seem to be anyone at the club willing to address the lack of talent.
Or maybe this obsession with an all Wigan raised team goes to the very core of the Club.'"
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.
