If you look at the boards of most of the other bigger names, Leeds, Saints and Warrington have fans calling for the coaches head. Higher expectations and all that. Not many were in favour of Lam but you can't decry his success so far at Leigh. Who saw that coming?

Peet I still feel is the man to take this club forward. Still early in his career. Some of the spark has gone from last year and I think it was when briers left. See how we do next season. I hope they take this forward in the off season and really look at our attack

Re: Wakefield (a) : Sat Jul 08, 2023 10:25 am  

[quote="wotsupcas"]If Peet said that he's got more front than Blackpool!
You got every other 50/50 call from that clown

Shall we ignore how much marshall was off side when the kick went through for his try or the try wakefield had dissowled for knocking ball backwards. Not seen the stats but i would say wigan had more penalties and more set restarts but wigan concede a penalty that was a penalty and lets all blame the ref.
Typical wigan fans

If we raise it in the big games then guess what........we might well win the GF.

Perhaps Peet has taken a lesson from Wane, who after 2012 never ever flogged us and we lost some utterly stupid games and yet made pretty much every GF.

Usual Wigan fan reaction to a defeat with absent posters all popping back up and I don't just mean WW69. I think the post calling for Peet's head is the most idiotic post I've ever seen on here.

Expecting a consistent and high standard in every game is “flogging” the players?????????
The format is totally and utterly wrong that it allows a team to lose “stupid” games with no major repercussions.
The GF is meaningless in that it is purely a financial necessity.

I wasn’t surprised at the result last night. It just confirmed my opinion that we are not a good team with a very average squad propped up with 2 individualistic players albeit that they are great to watch when they deliver. So far we have lost nearly 40% of our league games which screams out average. Admittedly there are several other average teams in the competition but I expect that the best 2 teams in Saints and Catalan will contest the final.

My concern is more about how we improve the squad and style of play for the 2024 season.
We won’t win the GF this season. Happy to have a charity bet with you up to say £50 and I will give you an extra 2 points over and above whatever Powder Power is giving today. DM me if want to take this up and we can agree odds and charities.

Regards Wane I gave my season tickets away half way through the season in 2017 and 2016 because of the “acceptance” of losing “stupid” games and the turgid “rugby” that was churned out. If I thought that we were getting back on that train I’d never buy a season ticket again.
Regards the Peet posting I agree with you 100%.

You won't get a high standard in every game because you don't need one.

The system is flawed, but that's the system and after seeing sides finish 4th and 5th then go on to win it as well as sides finish top and not even make the final, I'm only concerned with where we are after the last round and how well we're playing then.

Each to there own EC.
It is a flawed system but you will be concerned before the last round unless Peet can resolve the HB conundrum.

I would agree with the majority of your comments on us particularly our poor attacking prowess.
Obviously a loss is always hard to take but I hope that your turn in form continues and that you can move off the relegation spot.

Cheers. Used to have a soft spot for a Wigan when I was a young kid when you had the likes of Connolly and Wiganw ere my second team even had a Wigan shirt! I think that fled the year you got the points deduction mind Best of luck for the end of season.

That relegated Cas. You should love us

Re: Wakefield (a) : Sat Jul 08, 2023 11:19 am  

I’ll judge the season as a whole at the end. It’s been up and down and I could be way off but I do feel we’ve made a conscious decision this season to try and peak for the must win games and that is leading to some iffy form for the rest of the games. I’ve seen enough in the cup games and in games like Good Friday and Wire away to have some confidence that we’ve got plenty in the tank when the big ones come round but it has been a frustrating watch in between.

The real weakness in us continues to be around the middle, with us unable to get Ellis and Havard in the team at the same time. Guys like Singleton and Mago should hang their heads in all honesty, when you watch a couple of younger forwards like Nsemba and Hill busting a gut and then last night Smithies, O’Neill and Shorrocks ran themselves in to the ground and are just having to try and lead the way in the effort areas but they’re being let down by not having the right experienced quality in support.

Re: Wakefield (a) : Sat Jul 08, 2023 11:25 am  

A weird year, I feel we can beat everyone but also can lose to anyone.

Wouldn’t absolute shock me if we won the cup and got the GF but equally wouldn’t shock me if we lost the semi and crashed out the playoffs.
