Quote Last Son of Wigan="Last Son of Wigan"I had high expectations for this season. Why wouldn’t I or anyone else? Even with losing two stars like Tomkins and Bateman we still had a quality squad with the added addition of Hardaker.
Sad thing is we don’t look good when we play. Honestly; one 80 min complete performance all season. Just one.
I look at how we play...with the words of Lam ringing in my ears of how. He’s going to improve our attack. Add some flair etc. Our attack is way off what it was in 2018.
He has all the person all their to really play some great rugby...no excuses for me.'"
I didn’t have high expectations, due to the loss of Tomkins and Bateman and the raft of inevitable changes post Wane but whether I/you had high expectations or not is irrelevant really.
In the context of how we’ve played, we’ve had some great spells and looked on fire at times with our attacking display. But it’s also looked poor, clueless and all over the place too. Sometimes all in the same game, so in that respect I do agree with you.
Defensively we’re nowhere near 2018 levels. We’re not moving off the line, failing to put the attacker on his back most of the time or even on the floor sometimes.
But we are also 2nd in the league 80mins away from OT and an unlikely GF win. If our attack and D has been as poor as we’re saying or making out, surely we wouldn’t be here?
It is really rather extraordinary. We’re keen to criticise but the criticism doesn’t stand up when you compare it to where we are and the teams that finished below us.
