In the last 53 weeks we've played 3 semi finals and not showed up in any of them.

10-40
4-28
12-26

I can't think what our game plan was in any of them. Leeds played the conditions perfect today - can anyone tell me what our game plan was?

Fully expect us to get to the last four and then lose when it really matters - Lam is completely out of his depth in big games and the team look like rabbits in the headlights when it matters.

I hope we're looking at a new coach for next season that isn't a mate of Radlinski.

I doubt it’ll be anyone other than Lam in charge next season.

I’ve seen enough in Salford again to know who should be our next coach.

The contrast was certainly stark. Salford on the back foot for much of the game, but found a way to win. Well done Watson.

I think it's pretty obvious who the best young coach is in this league...

I agree Watson would be a good coach, but it’s extremely arrogant to think he would definitely just trot along to us as soon as we click our fingers.

Agreed. He's taking his home town club to finals. Under a lot less pressure than he would be here.

Oh yes, agreed. But a new broom is needed, not doubt about it.

I'll bet a few people had a double bet on Wigan and Wire!

Don’t think you can blame Lam for your forwards getting steamrolled. You could, I suppose, blame him for selecting O’Loughlin who was abysmal for the time he was on.

That’s enough for me.

I’ve stuck by him for a season and a half but Lam nothing more than an interim coach. We should have been firing on all cylinders under Edwards right now. Do you think he would have lost 42-0 to Saints? Would he have the boys come out for a semi looking completely lost?

Lenegan get looking mate. On paper Lam has one of the best Wigan rosters in the last 10 years, and it’s the worst rugby we’ve played since 2008.

I bury my head in my hands sometimes at how little you value this club, or how little vision you have.

If Watson is even half the coach that many (including myself) think that he is, then he should be jumping at the chance to move to a Wigan, Saints or Leeds.

Yes - outside of Saint's, Salford are currently a better side, but I'd bet my house that over the next 10+ years we'll see more success than them. Up until Lam we've been a consistently top side. We've got a youth set up that even the NRL envy and some of the best facilities in the league too.

Hopefully IL isn't as shortsighted as you & others and goes hard after him. It's then up to IW to think hard about what he wants.

We had one for this season, his name was Edwards, but the club preferred to do it their way rather than his.

Shane Flanagan is still available. Been there, done it, got the t-shirt.

You are right mate, 99.9% of the time rugby league games are won by the collective efforts of the team not by one person. Leeds were far superior.
