Thats it mate, i was sat in the stands at half time thinking "he needs to go now" it was the same old story in many ways, wigan ripped us apart down the flanks time and time again, and playing some very good rugby for me, richards 4th was a treat IMO.
As the game went on I did start to be realistic, wigan looked so good with or without the ball it wouldnt have mattered who played where, who was coach or if Bell was playing or if Bosc had played regardless Wigan were hot.

They did alright. Tactics spot on, but to say they were fantastic is stretching it. They never had to get out of second gear, so we didn't see whether they were fantastic or not.
We, on the other hand, were utterly abysmal. And now I'm about to relive it all for a report....
Both involved Casey McGuire, the first was a high shot on Gleeson, the second a grapple tackle on S Tomkins (I think), wrestling him to the floor by the head.

Fantastic in terms of the season so far. The fact that we didn't have to get out of 2nd gear and still managed to rack up 58 points AND nil Catalans is a superb effort.

Oh, come on. You can make all the excuses you want but the fact is Catalans should be aspiring to play at that level. It was the same Wigan team that a weaker (on paper) Catalans put 40 points past last season and lost to by two points away, the only difference playing wise was Deacon.

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

And a new coach that's actually getting the players to perform to their potential.
