Wed 25 Aug: SL: Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos KO 19:45 (TV)

[Charlie RL]

Lam's reported comments on BBC are very flat:

It's tough. When you don't have confidence, you don't have cohesion and you just start playing on your own.

"We look like a rudderless ship. Our spine and key players are not combining well. We seem to have a different full-back each week, it makes it really hard to build any momentum

 

[The Frying Scotsman]

Says it all.

 

[Padge]

Hopefully we don't make the play offs then we can regroup, rethink, rebuild and reset.

the great thing is though Wigan are once again proving to be the club that brings the headlines.

 

 

[Just Browny]

It's bad enough seeing 'fans' slagging off the game; do we need it from current players too?

 

 

[Derwent]

I think it’s a given that Lockers will be Wigan coach at some point, it’s just a question of who fills the gap in the meantime.

Thats been decided, unless there is a change of heart, and is another reason for many fans discontent.

That'll be the Alex Sutcliffe about whom it is said, "Who?"

[LEEDSLADGONE SOUTH]

Agent Lam is a legend. Give him a new. Long term contract. 
radlinski seems to be a natural as well. Player retention and recruitment is right where it should be for Wigan. 
keep us the good work lads.

Agree on all points. This season is a write-off for the game anyway, and for us definitely.

[Exiled Wiganer]

Surely now’s the time to get the felt tip pens out and sort out some COVID cancellations? Our complete inability to skip games has made our plight look far worse than it is.

If as rumoured Peet gets the job,it will be a huge statement that the club is excepting mediocrity,he’ll simply be a “yes” man who won’t speak out against the clubs shambolic  player retention/recruitment policies.

[M j M]

Took the two points then to really kick sand in their faces made off with the prized possessions as well.

Good grief. Not a serious rumour, I trust.

That was a terrible game to watch and really low quality. Wigans attack was just clueless.

Yes awful game

It's a done deal unless something changes.

Its him. He's referencing the soft as high tackle pens that were being given last night.

Apparently the first time Wigan have been nilled at home since this beautiful thing in 1991.

Pah your so-called major trophies pale compared to our moral victory in that game.

Edit - I'll add that, to this day, 19 is one of my lottery numbers because of this match.

72-6 later on in the same season.

Offiah 10 tries.

I went to both games.

Championship, Challenge Cup and Premiership pale compared to Loiners' moral victory. Fair enough.

I don't often agree with Koukash but as an advert for the game between 2 top 6 teams looking for a GF challenge then it was embarrassing. Terrible game by 2 very average sides. I reckon either of those teams would get a good spanking by the Canterbury Bulldogs and they're complete doggy doo in the NRL !!!

100%.

There are certain people on here who will continue to blindly deny it, but you are absolutely correct.
