So so poor in attack, no dummy runners just pass side to side and when that doesn’t work the awful inside ball, worst attack I’ve ever seen at Wigan

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg



Quote: Pemps "I have no real issue with Hanley and Halsall playing wing. There's history of young backs being blooded on the wing regardless of where their natural position in the back line is. What I doing have an issue with is Lam happily flogging the young lads in the middle of the pitch, but he's been reluctant to play the young backs. Instead taking the option to move our better second row players into the centres. Also playing every Tom, Dick or Harry at fullback instead of Hanley.'"

I can’t help but feel your young forwards are being flogged to death and are likely to burn out. They don’t have the bulk to play against mature forwards week in week out. Clubs owe a duty of care to their players and I’m not sure that is evident here.
On a different note I saw a comparison on here between what happened to Fielden and how Bateman is at present. I certainly hope the blip is temporary (wearing my England hat) and not Fielden like!

It is sadly true.

We have lost Flower & George Burgess. Clubb has been banned/injured most of the season, Bullock is either not selected or gets 10-20 minutes per game and Clarke never plays.

We are therefore down to one senior player, minimal support from Clubb/Bullock/Clarke and the reliance of Havard, Partington & Byrne in the front row.

Its a joke.

And then when Hanley played there and had a great game he was dropped the following week.

Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock "I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count" [quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote] Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!" I thanked him and went on my Merry way! RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015! "The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth." Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: Egg Chasing "And then when Hanley played there and had a great game he was dropped the following week.'"


Or refusing to pick Clarke for months on end, he eventually has to at Wakefield then drips him next game

Plays him 3 games or so later hudds at home and was going to drop him next game at Hudds away only to play him last min when Powell pulled out. Plays him for the next 3-4 games and even gets praised by Lam in press, only to not play again since then.

Baffling

PS
As you and I know
Gildart wasn't playing late Saturday/early Sunday (I certainly knew he wasn't supposed to Be playing then). For him to be named was confusing at best, to then make out that he pulled out late and it caused all kinds of confusion is misleading everyone and just embarrassing.
