Our club is run by a very closely knit clique

You could in fact call it "The Self Preservation Society" in the way that they all seem to go about their duties unchallenged

That is fine when things are being run correctly and when the club is moving in the right direction,
IMO we are on a downward spiral and our club urgently needs a completely new and fresh approach in order to stop us stagnating in the alarming fashion that we are in recent seasons

A new head coach who is fully responsible for signing players is a must, Let him also bring in an accomplished assistant of his choice, Then we can start to bring back the Wigan way and start winning games with style and flair

Regardless of if we win owt at all this season................I'm bored of watching this 5H1TE

I think that last line sums up how an awful lot of fans, me included, are feeling.
If we get beaten, fine, that's sport, but I don't think I can put up with the boredom factor much longer.
Watching the same set of six being repeated for 80 mins is becoming too much like hard work.

It really is a matter of signing the best players. I thought Radford would have been sacked after Hull's failures over the past two years. However, he has signed great players, is using the same tactics and as a result they have made it to the to of the league and the challenge cup final.
I have watched Wigan for over 50 years and in that time we have never had a slower hooker than McIlorum or Powell and Smith is the slowest scrum half I have ever seen. The spine of our team is broken in 2 very important positions.

I don't have a link to the Warriors game; I watched it on my Premier Sports subscription, Sometimes you can find the games on youtube, but not always straightaway.

There is a lovely score from Shaun Johnson in it!

its easy to make one player a scapegoat. purely as an outsider looking in, fobbing smith off isn't go to solve anything. play him behind a good pack and he'll be one of the best in the game. SW wants you all playing rough, tough, bash em up the middle rugby and your pack, as I'm sure you're all aware just isn't big enough for that. The one style of attack of running a double X, with the second man out the back throwing a face ball is all to predictable and all.

I've got a lot of respect for Wigan. But its not the players who need looking at, as said before its the coaching staff.

By our club, I assume you're talking about Leeds?

Do you believe that happens anywhere in professional sport?

The coach will contribute for sure, but the guy who signs the cheques is always going to have a say.

If he does he cant you accountable. Here theres some crap players go win the league...

Not sure what you're on about ?
