| Even though he cost us abit i think that Gleeson was a good buy for us. Even though he hasn't had the best season at Warrington up to now, he's already getting involved in the game, scoring his first try on monday against Catalans.

Roberts is receiving more of the ball now which can only be a good thing. Gleeson set up his own try by freeing Roberts and then supporting him.

It's a step in the correct direction, he's a quality centre, an international, a Wigan lad and if it means Roberts gets more of the ball then that's great as it gives us attacking options down both left and right sides of the field.

Exactly, them two have a good partenership between them and lets hope it stays that way.

| All this means nothing if we cant front up in the forwards and defend.

Agreed, it counts for little anyway.

| For me, we have a great 1 to 7. The problem lie's after this.
Fielden - Lost his bottle.
Prescott - Not got the strenght, agression.
Feka - Not onlong enough. Teams seem to be getting used to him.
Coley - Not a prop.
Hock - Would walk in any team. Carrying the pack.
Hansen - Great effort, but cant break a tackle.
O'Carroll - One of our better go forward props.
Riddell - Still miles behind with fitness.
Mccolrum - Liability.
Massive clear out in this list Apart from Hock, id get rid of the lot.

O'Carroll and Prescott are great young prospects.
Hansen does nothing fancy but it is likely that Bailey will leave at the end of the season and you need a workmanlike player in your pack just to work in the muck and nettles department.
Feka is only on for 20 minutes at a time but there are other props in Super League who are interchanged at similar intervals and no-one seems to pick up on that. Feka, although didn't have a fantastic game against Les Cats is our main source of go forward along with Hock. I'd say without Feka we'd possibly be further down the league table than we are now.

None of our forward hit the tackle and look to off load. As soon as they are touched they are down.
There are other issues in this team besides the props. The main reason is the winning mentalty we dont seem to have. this gets coached into a team.

So really you want the coach out the door not the players ?

I agree, we have the talent but not the mentality or the motivation collectively it would seem sometimes.
Hock hits the tackle and looks to offload, Paleaaesina gets an offload away if he can and keeps the legs pumping as does Prescott and O'Carroll. Fielden probably makes the least metres of all our forwards. I wish he'd come good.

Like i say, there are other issues.
Coach out and bring someone in who's hungry for it.
Quite a few players out who are simply not Wigan class.

Spot on A&L, that try was created (if i rememberly correctly) by attacking down the left, then switching to ball to the other side of the pitch and finding space on the outside
and btw, OP, your right, Gleeson is a good buy
