| Well they certainly proved a point today.
I feel like Michael Palin in the Ripping Yarns episode where he was a football supporter of Barnsworth United.
8 bloody 1 !!!!!!!
In our case today .................30 bloody nil !!!!
Unacceptable.
If Lenagan doesn't have big changes in the wings then 2018 is going to be bad news. And I recall when we got relegated. Even in the 1970's we had 'sash' to entertain us on the field.

What do u mean again? IL dragged our club from potential relegation fodder to champions, challenge cup winners and world champions.
He deserves far more credit than he gets for his positive influence on the clubs upturn in fortunes.
At the start of the season, most of us were filled with genuine optimism and felt we were genuine title contenders. We had the worst injury crisis that I can remember but that is only small mitigation. The fact is, the players and coaching staff are fully responsible for under performing all season. It's not the chairman's fault!!
I do hope we make some changes though. Fresh ideas are definitely required.

| Fact is that if you ask most supporters from other clubs, they would say that Wigan have (by far) the most talented squad in SL. The fact that the team regularly underperforms points to a change in coaching staff. Cas have nowhere near the talent, yet have proven (thanks to Darryl Powell) that you can achieve great things with good coaching yet limited resources.

By "most supporters from other clubs" you mean "me"? I'm not sure that it's true that Wigan have the best squad, and certainly not 'by far'.
I agree Cas are not a side of superstars, but they have the best half in the comp, the best full-back, and a very decent pack of forwards. Compare that to Wigan...

They had a bad run of injuries though around 10 players from the squad which the coach is going to struggle with. For me there has been a couple of poor signings in Lulu and FPN and a lack of leadership when Shirley doesn't play.

How deluded are you, nobody thinks that except you - get a grip man.
Fifita alone is worth any two of your front row, it was like a fox in a hen hut at times.
As for Cas they have more talent than you spread better across the team FACT

You are aware that poster is not a Wigan fan?
Stop pretending you're on here to make reasonable observations.
You're such a self-righteous pillock that you don't even know who or what you're responding to.

If for no other reason than clear perspective, you need to get over yourself, mate.
You're cock-a-hoop because Wigan aren't going to Old Trafford for the first time in five years.
And yet your club has only just found out where it will be playing next season.
Yeah, right ... we're the ones with problems.

| Thank goodness that we were not in the bottom four. Given our performances U would not have given us much chance against the likes of London. We play like only the ball carrier is allowed to move and no one ever expects the ball to be recycled from contact.I even see the union boys playing more like us than us. With our start to the season I would have liked to have seen us take risks and to back our defence if it did not work like you see in the NRL.

| Did I really see that Joe Bretherton was able to back up the game on Saturday with an outing for the reserved on Sunday. It does suggest that our props are not being overworked under the present system.

Saturday's team selection was a bit of a head scratcher.
We moved the club's best centre to the wing, then moved the club's best second row to the centre. Marshall played in the reserves yesterday.
