In happier news, looking for some recorded TV to cheer me up after the game...

Ah, The Handmaid's Tale! That's do nicely!

We are bad and so was the ref. The 2 are not interchangeable.

We need some comfort

Although them boring their way to wins against poor sides probably won’t cut it. What does comfort me though is that a proper coach and a couple of good signings can turn things pretty quickly because the league is so poor.

There is a pic taken off Sky, of Lenegan looking directly at Lam which is going round on social media . It looks like someone might be in Lenegans office first thing tomorrow ?

At no point in that game did we look like competing. The commentators on Sky did their best to talk up the tie but even they knew how forced it sounded. We just do not look like a superleague team at the moment. We make it difficult to score for periods of time but always look like we are about to crumble.

A meeting without coffee hopefully. I'm sure he could make a good assistant but I don't think our squad is the right squad for him, he needs to go.

Looking at the few teams below us in the league, hand on heart how many could you see us winning home or away (as we stand now):

Leeds @ home = Difficult.
Leeds @ away = Unlikely.

Cas @ home = Unlikely.
Cas @ away = Very unlikely.

Wakefield @ home = Difficult.
Wakefield @ away = Difficult.

Huddersfield @ home = Possibly.
Huddersfield @ away = Difficult.

Salford @ home = Possibly.
Salford @ away = Possibly.

Leigh @ home = Likely.
Leigh @ away = Possibly.

I think I'm being kind.

And we still have to play Leigh twice?

There's fortunate!

Ill discipline. Poor handling errors. Complete lack of creativity in the halves.

Recipie for failure and we have all the ingredients.

You missed

Dumb play (seriously dumb at times)
Lack of go forward
Lack of creativity from 9
Poor defence at times
Lack of any obvious plan in attack
The worst long kicking game ever in SL (if it was a competition to kick directly to the opposition full back we would win it easily) hoof & hope
one out rugby
panic near the opponents line
No decent goal kicker

most of which are clearly down to bad coaching


I think that covers it.

Everyone (except Lam) can see the lack of creativity in the halves . That's what makes the continued use of Hastings at full back beyond belief . Convinced that Lam knows refusing to play Hanley there in in the first place was a mistake but he is so full of himself he refuses to admit he was wrong by playing him.

Where are the minority who a short time ago shouted down anyone who dared to suggest that the club was in a bad way and making poor average signing!

The bloke is so stubborn it’s ridiculous

Won’t play Hanley at fullback to release Hastings back into the halves
Won’t recall Hankinson
Won’t give Hastings the kicking job
Froze out Escare
Froze out Jack Wells because Wells wanted more games on loan at Swinton to regain match fitness following injuries . He’s now Salford’s best forward ( whilst we struggle in the forwards)

Do you not mean -Sub-standard play from Wigan and correct decisions to sin bin 2 players from a team that knew they were well beaten so resorted to Thugby??

Always felt we’d end up regretting the Wells decision. He was outstanding as a junior forward and injuries plagued him but he got himself fit in his last 12-18 months here but unless your under 21 and not fully developed or your Tony Clubb, you ain’t getting in this front row.
