But wouldn't that mean quick, decisive, attacking flair rugby?

That just isn't the Wigan way







We would rather plod through the field and stand still until a gap appears not get created

Won't happen. Wane is too stubborn.

I like that Ben Roberts at Cas, pity as I think he's signed a new deal with them.

Surely IL ( and Rads) must be of the same opinion as seemingly everyone on the forum and realise the limitations of Smith and even SW.
It is ridiculous that Rocky and George have never been given the chance to play together in the halves at SL level. If I remember correctly, Rocky has only played a couple of games at 6 - when Williams was injured.

I don't think Widnes are average. They have improved and played well but what you say about us is spot on. I have been saying it for a while now. Mr Negative and all that, but I think it has stuck out like a sore thumb we play the attacking game one way without the players to do it, yet stick with it. I honestly believe Wane thinks the issue is poor execution and it hasn't clicked with him we either don't have the players to do it or he doesn't know how to get them to do it. He sticks with it and every now and again a win like Leed spapers over the cracks.

We have absolutely no idea what to do in the last 20m. Unless we make a break and catch a defense out of position once they line up it is game over. You may as well give 'em the ball back on the first tackle.

When I say average, I mean compared to the skill level of teams/players of previous years, the skill level in SL has gone down hill quite alarmingly. Madge came in and we were brilliant, everyone else copied. Some teams have taken it further, but we are stood still doing the same stuff, but our skill level and flair players is way down on where we were a few years ago. Regarding Widnes, they have improved immensely, it was a general state of SL comment, not to put Widnes down.

this may be the last season for some of our players but if we dont win anything i think it should be SW's last season as well

Awful attacking display last night, simply awful

Awful last night, especially in the 2nd half. We defended very well in the first half but it truly was a horror show in the 2nd half. Smith had his worst game in a Wigan shirt. However, although it was a hugely frustrating evening watching that predictable attack, we have to remember we are 5 from 6 and Widnes are playing some great rugby. 2 wins over Easter and this will be forgotten but I agree that the attack needs some serious work. I would have taken 5 from 6 at the start of the season especially with Tomkins x2, Williams and Mcilorum out.

Once he has passed the ball he is already looking to set up the next move within the structure regardless of what else is going on so he is effectively out of the game. So offers no support play for example. Now he is either under orders to do this from Wane or this is how he plays the game. Either way it is predictable and not good enough.

Dreading he next 2 games

Wane has gone unless by some devine intervention we get to Wembley. Forget OT Wembley is ILs target.
Personally I would get rid of KR forthwith. Haven't got a clue what he does except sign shoite.
SW will be gone by September so no need to sack him just let time take its course.

Wait until May when we have 6 away games in a row...
