If this is the best Lam can conjure up then maybe it’s time to look elsewhere,for me the magic weekend was always going to be the tester and the magic weekend isn’t far off now.

Yea he’s had injuries so has everyone else the last two games have been risable and frankly unacceptable as a spectacle of entertainment

The Wane legacy will take at least 2 seasons to shift.

It’s will be a bit like the Noble era at Bradford. Took so long to get over it and killed a few careers on the way.

For me the issue is the weak pack. Week after week we are getting bullied.

I've only seen London a couple of times (Toronto promotion match and tonight) and both times I've laughed when their fat number 8 has lined up but boy..... What an engine that lad has, puts most of ours to shame. For me was probably the best forward on the field tonight.

Is that how far weve fallen?

Are you suggesting we have to clear out a few Wane era players as well? And I don't mean because they are not good enough as individual players but because, for example, they can't adapt or resent a new coach?

Yes, also with him having been at the club for so long it will take at least a year or 2 to change the culture.

That isn’t a criticism of Wane it is a credit to him, however it is a very difficult job for the next man unless they want to maintain a watered down version of the Wane years.

Wane never had a team this bad

Re: THE WANEY HATERS : Fri May 03, 2019 6:58 am  

Building up to Easter we had 13 first team squad out injured (including some of the fringe players). We got a couple back for Cas which was played in torrential rain and on a very heavy pitch. Last night was our 4th game in 13 days and it’s perfectly understandable to have a flat performance.
We now have most players back (barring Faz, Sammut, Manfredi and Davies) and 10 days rest / prep before we play Warrington so let’s see how that goes. I’ve said it before, even somebody like Craig Bellamy would have struggled in the situation Lam found himself in.

Re: THE WANEY HATERS : Fri May 03, 2019 7:02 am  

The issue I have is Lam has used returning players as a life raft but realistically there’s only Faz who’ll be back this season who would make a major difference. He said last night Clubb is back for the Wire game but I’m not sure we should risk him. He looked totally unfit and sluggish before his knee injury, so it’s tough to see how he’ll cope with the pace of a CC tie against Wire.

Could the clique that is rumoured to be at the club be players Waney brought through from a young age?, Talks of certain players being shunned, If so the offenders need ousting
