Heard a few weeks back Lam had lost the dressing room, and Wane is circling.

I just think Lam isn't a very good coach.

He made big promises about them being a more free flowing attacking team, but in 3 years it just hasn't happened. Wigan must be looking to replace him next year

That absolute battering against Catalans..I read they have scored fewer points than Leigh. Shocker, Wakefield had 9 out too I think.

To be honest Lam has almost seemed a dead man walking ever since he took the job as a temporary 1 year deal when Shaun Edwards backed out at the last minute.

As for tonights game with Huddersfield it really is going to be a lottery as to who gets the 2pts. For all the declarations from Huddersfield about not being able to name a squad they have a what looks a pretty decent one now. The forwards is where we really look very short so hopefully BH has a plan, think the work without the ball will be key.

The pies have had their share of bad luck recently, the loss of speedsters Field, French, Gildart, Manfredi, and Marshall, due to injury would weaken any team.

Alarming is the apparent inability for them to bring back George Williams, even with a first refusal, one of their own has slipped through the net, with Jackson Hasting returning home, and Gildart off to the NRL next season, the Wigan club of old would have had George, signed sealed and delivered as the song goes.

These crippling financial problems, are an indication that rugby league is just about hanging on, Covid and the financial vice it’s created, is squeezing the very life out of the game.

It’s a shame we couldn’t have put the game. back, especially now the Derbys rearranged, getting our best team back, playing against Huddersfield best available team, would of been much more enjoyable than what’s on offer tonight. And it’s raining at the MKM stadium

Mint and Swift out tonight.
Wynne
B
Scott
Fonau
Mitch
Grub
Sneyd
Ligi
JJ
Fash
Ma’u
Lane
Cator
Subs
Macca
Logan
Brown
Debutant

We’ve got more out than Huddersfield so let’s no get ahead of ourselves

If I could bring myself to back against our team Id be hammering on Huddersfield with a 12 point start.
Won't be happening like.

Strewth thats a big blow but hopefully Wynne will take the chance at FB, JJ will grab the opportunity at 9 and Mitch will do likewise on the wing.

It is certainly going to be two very patched up sides tonight but if I'm honest I think Huddersfield look to have the advantage tonight though hopefully this loss of Houghton and Swift for tonight in addition to the other absentees will further galvanise the 17 that take the field, if we have 17 that is

Aiden Burrell making his debut tonight.

One positive about this is the opportunities for young players to make debuts or get some game time.

So do we know much about young Burrell?

What's up with Houghton and Swift?

Should of accepted the postponement could of played the game in front of a bigger crowd potentially, plus we would of fielded a much stronger team, I do t think Hudds have that many out do they?

Tonight's game shouldn't be going ahead imo, far too many players missing on either side. It's more a reserve team game than a Super league fixture. Farcical. If we drop 2 points we've only ourselves to blame for not seeking a postponement.

It's hard to keep track but I think we are missing
Connor, Swift, Tuimavave, Griffin, Taylor, Houghton, Satae, Savelio, Bowden, Matongo, Shaul

Huddersfield are missing
McGillvary, Lautele, Sezer, Yates, O'Brien, Lawrence, Edwards, McQueen

Postponing would seem to have been a good idea but it's fitting the game in. We already have five games in July and six in August.
