Glad to hear that Anderson isn't happy with that.

But what will he do about it?


It's time to poop or get off the pot.

That was completely embarrassing.

Finished third, embarrassed in the Cup, abject in the semi final.

Pots won - none.

Off the field - another year of stagnant crowds.

That's not a great season. Nowhere near a great season. It's a disappointingly mediocre season. This isn't 2003 anymore, the club needs to set its sights higher.

To get over the final hurdle you need to keep getting into the position year after year and eventually one time it clicks.

Grand final semi in 2010, not in 2011 and 2012, yes in 2013, not in 2014, yes this year but i'm betting not next year.

Wigan have just under a 50% win ratio in grand final semis, but they've made a grand final semi every year for the last 8 years. It's about consistently year after year putting yourself in that position to carry through the momentum and experience.

I blame Sam Burgess for the defeat.

On the plus side I was worried about the Missus spending any time in Lancashire, given how pregnant she is.

Imagine that. An accidental Lancastrian child. I wouldn't know what to do. How could I look it in the eye, knowing what I'd let happen to it.

Disaster averted!

Lol!

You shouldn't have worried there are plenty veterinary clinics in Wigan she would have been fine.

I agree 100% with your post but can't shake the ever present feeling of pessimism that we have probably peaked as far as we are able to under Baloo.

He's been a great coach but I think that hes run out of ideas. Im not calling for his head but perhaps we could bring soneone in with more experience to advise him, a la Wakey and Salford. Controversial i know but perhaps its the only way to get the team to the next level.....

Anderson ain't happy but it is Anderson who picked the team. No good reason to change what was working. Bailey for Leeming was a joke, Ferres selection caused huge disruption both on attach and defence. Ferries jogging about lazy in defence while Bruno and Ta'ai sat on the bench was where An ordinary Wigan performance saw them get on top.

He was as bad in attack wtf was that kick?

Not Ferres fault though, he was clearly not ready. It seems our coaches simply did not trust Leeming and Smith, they should have done so. That shambles was all about leadership, or lack of it.

Frasnkly your post is rubbish. To suggest that having Leeming or Smith in would have had any effect is laughable.

Leemimg is a longer term project he is Not Cameron Smith.

Smith is a project as well who needs to develop.

There are far more fundamental errors that need to be fixed.

We were beaten all over the park today from 1 to 13.

There were many players who had bad games with special mention to Connor wardle and Murph who had shockers.

Schoey called the whole team out saying Hudds are a bunch of bottlers and didn't have it in them to get to the big dance. You totally blew it with in the last 10 mins last week and your ar$e completely fell out from about 2 minutes in tonight as well.

Schoey is completely correct. You can't really argue other wise.
