Didn't think anyone would take me seriously!!

Goulding isn't, yes he might be a nice lad and have lost some weight, but my god, his defence is shockingly bad. He gets flack for being ball greedy but his real weakness is his defence, he gets skinned all ends up all to often.

Him and Phelps are both average. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ainscough should keep his place though, no question.

Ainscough looked promising but Goulding had a hard time against Shenton

Wasnt taking you seriously was just making a point - i know you dont want Mathers in over Ainscough



Ah that old rlfans myth that Gouldings defence is cack....lets bring in phelps...oh yeah his is worse.

Was this due to the tactic of Wigan walking 3 steps forward and holding allowing the fastest centre in Sl the space to get up to full speed and take the outside line?

Was not there so its a genuine question.

Thank god





His defence is though, he was beaten all ends up for both Cas's tries at the end of the first half. Massively at fault.

Phelps is no better, but he is no worse, and would have scored the chances at Hull that Goulding fluffed.

I will now cause meltdown - Bailey needs to play in that centre position until we get back on track.

No, it was due to his poor positioning.

When was the last time we had a young local winger with raw pace and power like that? Exciting times ahead for Mr. Ainscough

You've got lots to say, but do you ever actually go to a game?

I will take your word for it as i have yet to see it.

I do ask the question though did we continue with the move up 3 yards and hold defence tonight?

Did the markers get nailed (again) sounded so from the comentary.

We seemed to in part and at other times we were moving up, the trouble is our players weren't strong enough in the tackle to hold the Cas players on either occurance.

Our marker defence was okay, it was our defence outwide that was as weak as soggy Weetabix tonight.

So we were inconsistent in defence and our conditioning was not up to scratch.

In my opinion both Noble issues.

Basically those were the 2 issues.

Forshaw surely has to be to blame for some of the conditioning, he is over that area, am I naive to think that he sets up the conditioning programmes etc?
