Danger now is we have a makeshift team for next week and get battered out of sight
Hakim Miloudi on social media at Manchester airport. Could be visiting family in France obviously.
Carlos for Connor and Hadley for Houghton are decent replacements but Watts is in our top 3 players IMO and a huge miss.

Yeah I know what it is but not really heard much about how severe an injury to it is. Knee injuries always seem to be acl which generally requires reconstruction surgery

I think were still suffering a big hangover from this trip. Half the team still thinks theyre on Manly Beach and havent come back down to eath yet or so it seems

And yet Wigan seem to be doing just fine with one loss and second behind Saints having played one game less? It's not the trip, the problems lie elsewhere and it always will do until people realise that we aren't going to get any better than 2016 (when we had the best team in the league and pretty much an injury free season) unless we make changes.
We need an attack coach and a sports psychologist at the very least, I'd say the latter is much more important than the former.

Leeds and Wigan are both big clubs and have the knowledge and ability to cope with things like the OZ trip/playing in WCCs. We are a medium club trying to be one of the big boys and as such are not capable of coping with the demands of WCCs etc.........at the moment
I honestly believe some of the team are still coming down from the trip and have forgotten what got them there - hard work

yup, medium club, bacj to back CC and semi finals, we're rubbish. Maybe you should stop "supporting" FC and stick to KR...

I've seen no evidence to back this up.
We have some key personnel missing, and specifically ahead of the Salford game we had some major squad disruption and for some reason the players never seem to be up for Salford away. Don't forget, the week before we travelled to Leeds on a horrible Thursday night with a very young squad and should've won. We'll see what response the players have this weekend.
Sometimes as fans wed well too much on one result, similar to Rovers this week with their Grand Final ambitions after a win against a crap Huddersfield team.
