Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png



Really good stat there. Shame about the defence, think if we sort this defence out we could make the 8 next year

No he wasn't. Just think if we had been able to win the SIX games that we have lost by 6 or less points we would have been in THIRD spot in the table. Dare to dream.

He coached Appo Satala who works with me in Gloucester.This Fijian guy played under Betts and definitely a defence coach.BBC dont get it right all the time look at the mistakes they make in the past.

I think someone who played for him knew did both jobs as a coach.Defence was part of his job, icon_lol.gif and should be a priority for any coach.

Tbh that paper seems to switch his role per article!

Not denying that defence needs a bit of work though I think a lot this year had been down to concentration rather than structure.

Just always threw at Betts you where a Union defence coach so why is your league sides defence poor? Do we even know if he runs our defence or if that's say Cassidy's remit?

I'd say he's got our defence quite good for a rugby union team....

CPWigan on WiganWarriorsFans.Com:



Widnes are as already stated a top 8, top 5 team in attack BUT their defence is not even Top 8. I think it is more down to the players that either Betts or Cassidy who were both excellent defenders.
