Hastings is completely wasted under Lams coaching. He isn’t used to his strengths at all and often ends up aimlessly running the ball in.

It’s not Lams coaching that tells him to run it in aimlessly on the penultimate tackle

Best not ask that question on a forum , you might not like the answer ...

[Futtocks]

All other factors aside, Leeds are just not dropping the ball even a fraction as much as Wigan.

I don’t think there have been any 6 agains awarded today have there? Ref seems to have been lenient considering the conditions

Wigan have had a couple second half. I did wonder the same first half

[Man of Kent]

Leeds have been superb but I haven’t seen Wigan play this badly for a long time. Not sure if Lam properly prepared them for wet weather rugby.

Lam has been completely out coached. Terrible tactics from a terrible coach.

It certainly was the first game of the season.

I recall at least one, but you are certainly right about the low frequency.

You can't say that for definite; he may have come up with a perfect game plan only for his players completely fail to put the plan into action.

Pretty sure it’s Lam. This isn’t a one off, we’ve seen it before this season and last.

Lam consults Just Browny and brings O'Loughlin off.

He'll be consulting the Job Centre before too long.

Leeds have looked at the conditions and made them work in their favour. On top of that, they've played really well for any weather.

Well, they are used to playing a Gale

That’s why he got a one year contract renewal and is yet to get another. 

Watson will be Wigan coach in 2021. 

[Northern Eel]

Wigan came off second best in every element of that play. It was a perfect summary of the game in one play.

Fingers crossed, but unfortunately for us Wigan fans, I think they will offer him a new contact.

Who the #### was Ash Handly celebrating to in the stand?

Well played Leeds. 

But pretty dissapointing game, maybe I have been spoiled with the 3 Aussie games the last couple of days.
