First year in SL, what did you expect? Our first year in the comp we were regularly getting these kinds of hammerings (I remember Burrow passing to another player to score a try when they were both in the in-goal).
The following year we made the CC final.
Yes, you could do a bit less badly if you bought in a bunch of journeymen and played to come 13th, but what is that worth. Develop the squad, develop the side and keep the faith.

Don't get me wrong I'd be pro coach change as well but these points can't just be ignored. Unfortunately it was clear pretty early we were going to take a few beatings so just put a lot of focus on performing at home and enjoying the wins when they come. We have two more than a lot thought we would just a month ago icon_lol.gif

Quote: mickburkes boots "so your happy with Betts ! look how noble turned wigan round from near bottom to play offs , its not expectations its a professional sport if players can not tackle they shouldnt be playing the sport for one no disrepect Betts signed these players and if he cant get the basic rights he shouldnt be coaching at this level, A good coach would atleast get the basics right TACKLING its not the Losing its how ther losing !'"

I'd say im happier with betts than i have been with any other coach we've had since super league.
Noble was given a blank chequebook at wigan and told to ignore the salary cap , if that was widnes the r.l would probably kick us out , i think the game has changed a lot even in the 10 or so years since nobby was good at bradford. If it was say Graham murray or a top aussie coach in the pipeline i'd say go for it but Nobby et al , no thanks stick with betts for now. I believe he will get the basics better covered in a couple of months , and he has signed better players than ive seen at widnes for a good few years.

It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99] Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.” [i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99] [b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg
