Completely disagree. The play off system is nowehere near perfect - over half the league can qualify - but the play off system is far better than a 'finish top and you win' structure.
Regarding Wane, yes he made a mistake but you tell me a coach who hasn't ballsed up with his selection at some stage. It's early days and I suspect Wire/Leeds/Huds will be in for a shock defeat somewhere along the line. The first half of the season is all about getting the points and getting high up in that table, the second half is about solidifying your position in the league and/or shifting a place or two up.
Wane will take Madge's work further. Wane will maintain our success. Wane will keep Wigan a force to be reckoned with.
I hope your right but from speaking to many people before the game on Sunday the result was clearly not a shock once we heard the starting line ups from both teams.
Shaun Wane has had a solid start to his tenure as head coach but Sunday really highlighted a change in attitude for me in comparison to the previous two seasons and if Wane can make a mistake like Sunday what other poor decisions behind the scenes could he make in the future?
Under Maguire Wigan were ruthless and i have no doubt that his attitude on Sunday would of been to forget about who the opposition are and put a full strength side out that would be capable of putting 80 past them.
Calling for SW to be sacked is ridiculous but Sunday was a balls up of epic proportions - if SW was confident that the side he fielded against Widnes was good enough to win the game then im sure he will be confident enough to pick exactly the same team against London.....then again.
Hope we respect the opposition in future.
