Well dont say i didnt warn you. Some things in life are just nailed on and a big loss Saturday week is nailed on as sure as eggs are eggs. Thats if we manage to beat Salford which is not something im confident about in the slightest.

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

What do you mean "well dont say you didn't warn me"?
I KNOW WE COULD GET MULLERED
so what?
If we lose Friday we lose and Salford will deserve their shot.
What we wont do is "Let Salford have a go".
You can dress it up whichever way you want, but not wanting to win because your worried what Saints will do to you week after is, well, I'm almost lost for words.
Somewhere between, baffling, ridiculous, Defeatist, crazy and cowardice.
But that doesn't surprise me
You carry on coming out with some of the most ridiculous comments I've ever seen on here IMO, but dont surprised if you get called out on them.
PS
Cant say I've seen much of your posts over the last 3 months, then suddenly.
PPS
My comment end of the game Friday
St Helen's did 1 thing better us, EVERYTHING.
they're a very good team, we were very poor, static, passive etc and that's nowhere near good enough.
But, you dust yourself down, get on with it and if we beat Salford Friday then we will DESERVE OUR PLACE AT OLD TRAFFORD.

Smithies has to start at 13 with Flower and lockers starting props and Greenwood, Byrne and either Clubb or Partington on the Bench'"
Contrary to Lam dropping Greenwood I think he needs game time. I see a player who’s suffered head knocks and perhaps has had a loss of confidence. Once he regains himself he’ll be back to the strong running back rower we signed.
I’d put him back on the left. His combination on the left edge last season was one of the reason our attack was so deadly.

| Quote: Wigg'n "Did they play with freedom?
I posted on the VT that Saints beat us with 5 drives and a kick and don’t think I’ve changed my mind. They played basic rugby, not amazing, throw-it-around and offload entertaining rugby. Just steamrolled us with strong carries from the forwards and backs. Mainly due to how our forwards are coached. Imagine Luke Thompson hitting the deck as soon as he gets hit to “get a quick play the ball and into the halves hands”. It’s embarrassing. There’s a reason he’s one of the best props in the world. AND he backs it up with defence. Our props do half of his job (barely).'"
We let them play with freedom. We stood and watched them throw it around before bothering to take the tackle. So in a way they played with freedom but still went 5 drives and a kick.

I’d rather get there and lose by whatever margin then not get there at all.
You’re embarrassing with this “throw the game v Salford” mantra. I’d hate to play in a team coached by you. Every time you get a sniff of a better team you’d bottle it.
You brought up earlier that this squad has no leaders. That simply isn’t true is it? We have Powell, Williams, Gildart, Lockers, Farrell, Hardaker. If you have such little faith in this team, or this club, why do you even bother?

I never suggested we throw the game V Salford.
I was speaking as a fan, 'let Salford have a go' it would be good for the game and there would be no pressure on them. I think they could potentially cause a huge upset and that would be the next best thing to Wigan winning which IMO they have no chance of.
At no point have i ever suggested that Lam should instruct the team to lose the game on purpose.

You’re saying we should let Salford have a go. If you’re not suggesting we throw the game then God only knows what you’re suggesting.

At no point did i say 'WE' should let Salford have a go. You inserted the 'WE' on purpose to make it sound like i said something i didnt.
I said, 'let Salford have a go' meaning that as a fan and in the interest of the game i would like to see them have a go with no pressure on them and nothing to lose.

| I think you'll have every chance if you get to Old Trafford! Why wouldn't you? It's a stage you're used to winning on! I'd certainly give you far more chance than I gave Warrington at Wembley and we all know what happened there!

If you were locked in a gym on your own, you’d start an argument with yourself and then deny it.

Who else is going to give Salford a go other than us? Thus ‘we’ let Salford have a go, thus ‘we’ concede the game. We can’t give Salford a go without conceding the game. It’s an easy concept to understand.
You made a suggestion and ever since have tried to backpeddle on what you meant.

No, for clarification what you said was Just let Salford have a shot at Saints. At least they have a set of forwards that will actually get stuck in and not stand around looking shell shocked as the backs try to make metres.
Last thing we need is to allow Saints some more gloating to add to the 75-0. I cant think of anything worse than a Grand Final drubbing to Saints. I was there when Bradford took us apart in the Grand Final and its a horrible feeling.
Now whichever you look at it I find it unimaginable that anyone could think anything other than you dont want Wigan to get through as we'll get mullered and I dont want to see that.

You talk utter crap, the only way ‘Salford can have a go’ at Saints is if they beat us, and you saying you want Salford to play Saints means you want them to beat us, how hard is that to comprehend?

I don't think Greenwood is good enough for this Wigan team, very big forward but never ever runs his weight and his injuries are a worry. I think we missed a trick with Josh Jones, and most certainly last year should of tried more with Matt Whitley. Greenwood as well I imagine will be on decent sized contract. I remember Waney commenting on about him last year that he's not your typical Wigan style forward, absolutely correct on that one.
