With 6 points against Wakefield next week, Wigan will have already equalled 2021's points scored this season. Wigan and Lam were just not a fit for each other. It was a painful experience watching the side back then.

Peet is still utterly reliant on two players and it's blatantly obvious that the rest of the team has regressed massively. Wigan under Lam only had one of Field/French fit and still reached the Grand Final and pushed the Champions extremely close. Lose one of them this season and Wigan would be nowhere near the final as they weren't with that embarassing collapse against a pitiful Leeds side last year.

Re: Wiggin I think they have some exceptional young talent in the forwards and it bodes well for the future. I also think Wiggin need a much better, more consistent goalkicker. Harry Smith is a very good player but I would definitely be looking for someone else to takeover goalkicking.

For all his faults Derek has given him free reign, even before he agreed to sign as coach for Leigh he had a meeting with Derek and gave him some advice on young players who had potential (Ipape being one) next minute Derek has gone and signed them, that’s what tipped Lams decision to join Leigh, can you believe Wigans hierarchy wouldn’t sign off the signing of Ipape and he initially came over on peanuts.

But it’s ok, as he comes across as a decent bloke on TV
