It's a good job we were playing a team with even worse discipline than us, otherwise that would have been another game down the pan.

Re: Team for Salford : Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:41 pm  

I thought we did really well considering the battering we took Friday . I thought Salford would dominate the last 20 mins as we tired but we dug in and showed some guts and spirit.

Re: Team for Salford : Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:54 pm  

Discipline or lack there of is absolutely killing us.
What should have been a straightforward win turned into a get out of jail win thanks to a miracle play.
Thank god for the two points though.

If only Williams realised he could pass to his right. We telegraphed the moves to Gildart & Greenwood too much IMO.

Good game that could have gone either way,the lack of discipline is at times shocking and against better teams will finish Wigan off,still after Friday a win is a win

Yeah, it's Williams fault.

Astonishing today after Williams first 25mins where he created a try ,created an opportunity that burgess should have scored, nearly scored twice himself, got 3 repeat sets, made a dozen tackles and was basically outstanding - he then kicks to corner on 2nd tackle and Burgess doesn't get to it and the wall of deafining criticism from the experts was astonishing!

He put one average bomb up in 2nd half (shorrocks put 2 terrible ones in) and they're at it again, despite him putting Greenwood in for 2 tries, made another dozen Tackles, takes a quick restart after Salford fail to score over line where he's involved in the tackle amd makes 15yards, and chased his own bomb and recollects and offloaded for hardaker try.

Said on way back, I'm going to cherish his last 20 or so games for Wigan, because I'm not sure where were going to find a player who does What He does for Wigan over and over again.

Absolutely bang on mate, some of the criticism he gets sickens me, he’s our most creative player buy a mile and has been good this season, year after year he tops the try scoring charts and often gets into double figures for tries, those “experts” will soon realise next year when we have Woods and Shorrocks in the halves

Re: Team for Salford : Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:29 pm  

We’d be knackered (and soon will be) without Williams. I said after the game today that him along with that left edge in general will steer us clear of any trouble. Don’t get me wrong Williams can be frustrating but only because he’s a fantastic talent who sometimes could produce even more then he does.

Re: Team for Salford : Tue Apr 23, 2019 12:10 am  

Williams certainly can't be faulted for his attitude, wherever he goes. He continues to put a shift in and as said upthread, did some great things today. If every player in the squad had his attitude, we'd surely be better off now.

Re: Team for Salford : Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:58 am  

Our defence is as bad as any team I've seen at SL level, it's embarrassing. This has been a consistent issue Lam this season. After 11-12 games it massively needs addressing, we seem to have lost our structure and aggression completely.
