Wigan fans have said that the Rugby played under Wane in his first season as head coach under Madge was some of the best Rugby played by Wigan for many years, the points scored that season highlights this.
Since then you can see that the points scored by the team have steadily decreased season by season culminating by the fall last season, even though they played 3 matches more.
There can be many explanations for this, under Madge Wigan had far better players and we saw the emergence of Sam who was a points machine himself.
That first season for Wane he was still very much under the influence of the framework Madge laid down, but since that Sam and Greene etc left and the calibre of players left and new ones brought in is not of the same standard as previous.
Therefore why didn't the Coach and especially the people over him right up to the owner not realise this, they seem content to think Wigan can still play the same structure with the players we have because we keep appearing in Grand Finals.
All it shows is that we scored almost 200 points less (with 3 matches more) than in Wanes 1st season, which goes to prove how bad the standard of S/L is at the moment.
This probably doesn't make much sense, but is a few stats for those that like to look at this type of thing.'"
This is why statistics frighten me!
