Quote: Staffs FC "I think Wigan are fairly predictable at times. Their go to play is a double second man move that for much of the game at Wembley we were stood out wide waiting for and snuffed out pretty well forcing them back inside a lot. Where they are far superior is in the quality and therefore speed of their distribution and they have one or two individuals with real quality who can beat men one on one.'"


Took my Mrs to the Final on Saturday, she has seen all of 3 or 4 games on Sky so her first ever live game. She commented that Wigan looked far faster - with their passing speed and their intensity and going forward with the ball.

This is something that needs to change - we go side to side, very slowly and as a result we are predictable. The only time we do look good, is with quick scoots from hookers, Briscoe or Shaul and when Whiting can get an offload away

In a nutshell...a brissie LEGEND:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44896.jpg



from the top tier of wembley, it looked like fc were playing in slow motion compared to a very well drill offensive unit in wigan...
serious work is needed to address our current situation

I LOVE LAMP:Black Backgrounds/Statler.gif



I would throw some money at Croker? the centre at the Canberra Raiders. Also unlikely but would love to see him at Hull, Jason Nightingale. Maybe more realistic would be Sam Perrett. Croker/Perrett partnership would be a cracker.

i know people think we should'nt be getting players from the likes of cas and so called lower placed clubs to challenge for the top 4 and whilst i agree some of the signings are not going to take us to the next level i do think there is some real quality out there at the lower end.heres a few from teams below us who i feel would really improve us whilst not costing megabucks.
wakefield-amor,poore,kirmond,collis,c?@kend (don't like but better than crookes)
london-kaufusi,baily,dixon (better than crookes)
cas-chase (had to put him),hauraki,shenton,carney (def better than crookes)
salford-broughton (better than crookes)
widnes-handbury,j mellor,hock (tech wigan but up for grabs),joseph (always makes impact off bench what we lack and would be on small wedge,maybe a jamie thacks kind of signing)ah van (kicks goals and better than j.c)
bradford-manuokafoa,bateman,foster (kicks goals and i don't need to say it)
i expect alot of people will not agree but all the above always stand out when i watch them,even against the top teams.whether gentle is the man who can take good players and make them great remains to be seen.a 2013 version of brian smith would be perfect

Which is why fans shouldn't hope for players who are completely unrealistic. Another case of people playing Fantasy RL, I'm afraid.

So what your saying is: there are a lot of better players than Crookes?
With Briscoe leaving I do think a winger needs to be brought in
Cockayne, Carney, Dixon - for me NO
I liked Foster while he was with us, to be honest I didn't really see why we got rid of Will Sharp to bring in Crookes
Wigan signed two players last year from clubs below us for their 6 and 7, just one example and i agree with you that there are good players in teams below us.

i thought that might come across but i don't not like the lad and am prepared to give him my full support.it just happens when i was looking at the teams below us they all contained a winger i would be happy to swap him with.carney would be my choice as a out and out winger,he would def provide some entertainment for the fans.however foster would probaly be the one i'd go for simple for his goal kicking (d.j's just not up to it and if he's injured)

The poor man's bonaire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32641.jpg



Been told we're getting an NRL forward (no names), Thompson and walker and that will be it. Was also told we'd sounded out brown from rovers but decided against it

Seems poor as we're losing Briscoe, galea, o'meley, lynch and tickle, all of whom must be on a big whack

i think the signings depend on the game plan gentle wants to play.for me its a total contradiction.i would always imagine you would play a expansive game if you had a light mobile pack.abit like cas have for a fair few years.always getting dominated by bigger packs (especially away on bigger pitches) but throwing the ball around and playing some really exciting attacking rugby.we have the pack for that game plan yet play the flattest slowest and most clueless attack i'v seen in the league this year.the drop off move sums it up for me,works for the likes of giants,wigan,warr as they have size and ball speed.we lack both

A lot of players in improved contracts, apparently. Still don't buy it, like you say we should have more return for the players leaving if that is all we have coming in.

I like Walker at Rovers, he seems a right handful. Rovers look a different side when he's on the pitch, makes good yards with the ball and hits like wrecking ball. But too players from the land of make believe might not be to everyone's taste. I also like Hock, I like that he's dirty, we could do with a bit of that in our boyband pack.

You're right, we are dreadful with the ball in hand. HAlf the time it looks like some of the players lack even basic passing skills
