Fabulous performance. Some VERY smart use of subs from the coaching staff.lolohea deserved MOM. Our forwards were awesome. We worked hard for each other and in the first half we put hill under a lot of pressure and made them work work very hard which was their undoing.
Their forwards were matched. Gale and connor pretty anonymous. - apart from when connor was performing for his Oscar to try to win penalties.
Certainly deserved the win. Looking forward to the next game! Читать дальше...

I do,
It’s something I’ve discussed before.

The question is, why do we still conform to the team structure that was set up over 100 years ago
I.e. 1 FB
2 RW 3 RC 4 LC 5 LW
and so on

why not experiment with a different structure in much the same way that football has 4-4-2 or 3-5-1-1 etc.

Wigan currently has 2 class Full Backs and a conundrum about which one to play where, so why not play with 2 Full Backs?
Who says that you must have 2 Half Backs and 2 Centres? Читать дальше...

Could Cory Hall go out on the wing freeing Liam Kay as impact sub Hooker/backs

Apologies. I think I’m getting mixed up. The lad I’m talking about is called Will Roberts who is academy and not scholarship. The lad rogues is referring to is Harry Robertson but I don’t know much about him

Possibly interesting, a theory of Wigan could be the first team ever to play with two full backs tomorrow, yes,playing at full back in position with a line of defence spread, when we kick deep, right, or left, or centre, two very fast men can pass us at speed or link at speed ?
When in possession, either side, left or right can link & pass through gaps at speed ? That is the theory being pushed, not by me but by other ex players ?
Of course, it could be unique, but it could also be a disadvantage ! Читать дальше...

Think we saw why both teams are at the bottom. Poor in defence and don't take their chances. Luckily today we did take ours. I don't care how we win as long as we get the 3 points. A Norwich win tomorrow and we should be home dry

Harking back to some older posts, but Buzz Rothfield (an ancient but reasonably well-connected NRL journalist) said he'd spoken to Shane Flanagan who said there was zero chance of Kyle leaving the NRL.

The weird thing about the squad is that we all know what the problems are, and that some of them have been apparent for years. This season seems to be the straw that's broken our collective backs with respect to giving the club the benefit of the doubt that someone somewhere knew what they were doing and had a plan.

I don't think there's much strategy to what Wigan are doing. It's availability and finance that is driving it. You won't sign the star imports as you aren't willing to pay them enough, they'll continue to go to Warrington, Catalans and Leeds. Whilst it's good for Wigan and SL that Field is staying, you've got to be cynical and wonder if there is an NRL release clause in there. It's either that or he's had a firm no from them and has given up, fullback is one of the most... Читать дальше...

Assuming Gale wanted out there's not much we could do about it. McLelland was a different story. We should definitely have looked to find a replacement who actually plays in the halves. Didn't need to be a current international.

As Marty says, Sutcliffe and Myler have failed as halfbacks multiple times. Myler can play that wider role very well, but as a decision-making halfback he's no good. Sutcliffe is barely a SL player in any position.

All of our halfbacks would look better if... Читать дальше...

Rhys Kennedy is being offered to super league clubs so we may hear more about him. 6'6 and 17 and a half stone, don't know much about him to be fair and he's played 37 games for the broncos in 4 years. Could be a possibility?

Both an error, you need to get right out of the station and into The Sportsman around the corner, usually some decent Hudds fans in there as well.

Good luck, I would both love and hate a Rovers vs. Hull final.
