After last nights miracle win i believe we are missing several key players/positions in my opinion we need these positions strengthening for next season with more than average players. We need a number 7 who can direct play who has a kicking game, a left centre who can tear through defences like hulls ripped through ours, a left winger to take manfredi's place as he is out for 12 months, because Tierney isn't good enough. Also we need either a new head coach who as a plan b in his locker or a number 2 who can coach the attack.

To be honest I don't even know. We seem to struggle keeping hold of the ball doing the basics at the moment, let alone attempting to move the ball around. I don't know if it's tactics or confidence that's lacking, or both.

I'm sure all the forum experts said he was rubbish..

I would agree..... But not many players slot in quickly. Many would have shipped Richards out after his first season with us.

They showed one of Frano Botica's early games for Wigan on Wigan TV a while back.

Couldn't kick a conversion to save his life!

And Craig Smith and a few others over the years.

Going back to the original question though we don't seem to have anyone who will suddenly spring into life, do something unexpected or leg it down the field for a long distance try like we have had in the past being structured is good but we also need some kind of surprise spark element

Gelling does all of those

The last tackle. Hull peppered Wigan with kicks time and time and time again. To Wigan's credit they held it out but Hull had the chance to kill the game first twenty second half. Wigan's last tackle was awful in comparison. That was the major difference I thought.

Last tackle options and complete lack of dummy runners.

Sort those out and we finish in a good position and make our attack harder to read.

We have to stop passing the ball sidewise when we have no options to straighten up the attack.

I think MM is a massive loss. By no means the best hooker in SL but he fits us so well. His distribution is quicker than Sam Powell (That's not to discredit Powell this year, it's just clear he's a HB) and he leads by example in defense.

You don;t seem to have much structure in attack. At times last night, all of your players were within a narrow band about 10 metres either side of the ball and all bunched together. Really, you need a new coach

Getting to the last tackle would help.

Ideally a new coach but if lenegan isn't prepared to fire wane off then at least an attack minded assistant maybe from the Nrl to help Wane. Personally I'd like to wane replaced I can't knock his passion for Wigan but he has taken us as far as he can
