I agree but I don’t expect IL or Rads to do anything about it. They don’t seem to be able to recruit beyond ex Wigan players or fall into their lap for some reason like Hardaker. When they do we end up with players like Clarke.

The biggest issue is the coach though. He’s just not up to it. We need IL to find a bit of Mo Lindsay ruthlessness and give him the boot.

This was coming. No shocks at all.
I love Lammy. He is a club legend and was a brilliant player. He loves the club and I respect him, but he is out of his depth and this is professional sport.

Interesting few weeks ahead.

am stunned didnt think wigan would capitulate like that.
Anyway can only get better when field,marshall,french,gildart play thats practically a third missing. But still stunned !!!!!!

The squad we have is plenty good enough to be in contention at the top of the table, in my book. We need a new coach, and fast.

We are unlikely to see Field again this season but none of them are forwards anyway so they won’t make that much difference. The pack is not up to it.

Field and French are a way off yet. Gildart is just off...........to West Tigers.

Field and French may be some way off.
Lam should just be off.

For some reason the Wigan hierarchy seem to see any player who comes trough the ranks as top class when in reality they are absolutely bang average. But by any standards that was a totaly inept performance. The team looked like it had never ben coached - just a bunch of individuals on a field.How Lam is earning his money is beyond me.

Forwars were soft and lazy - some of the efforts in defense were atrocious,. Why does Bateman only play for the last 20 minutes of games? No one out there can take ANY credit in that shambles. Interesting to see who plays full back next game. But I'm afraid that was just the culmination of a lot of very poor disipline throught the whole team.

Sadly I think that will not be the last awful performance because the team is poorly coached and has too many average players. Every last tackle play seemed to be a big hoof down field which suited Catalan perfectly - there seemed to be no change in thought whatsoever, I think this is the dumbest team I have ever seen at Wigan -. We never looked like scoring.

And even though in the past I have critisied George WIlliams I would have him back over Hastings any day of the week .

We are a mid table team that has massively over achieved so far this season, this isn't even a shock.

In years gone by opposition teams used to be wary playing Wigan after a defeat. Now it's an opportunity to pile the misery on us.

Anybody who isn't wearing cherry and white specs would not have been surprised by today's "performance" - it just proves how poor the league is that we were unbeaten in SL so far - as soon as we came up against a decent opponent in the cup we lost.

After the Leeds game I pointed out how poor our line speed was and how easy it was for a depleted Leeds team to roll forward far too easily - only for some people to tell me how great our defence is.................

In fairness to our halves, they're generally playing behind a beaten pack every week. We have far too many forwards who offer absolutely nothing in attack, for all their heart in defence Partington and Smithies offer precisely zero in attack - until that changes and we actually get the size that Radlinski said we needed in 2014 (still waiting) things will not change.

This is Lam's third season in charge and I'm still waiting for this attacking mentality he promised over two years ago. Can anyone remember the last time you were excited watching up play? I can't. This one dimensional one up stuff until we're two or three scores behind is coma inducing.

After the likely tonkings by Stains and Wire, I'd get rid and give it to Lockers until the end of the season.

Assuming hell will freeze over before he plays Halsall or recalls Hankinson which 2nd rower is next inline to play in the three quarters ?
Not that that will fix the bleeding obvious front row deficiency but at least it will be something different
