They are backs though and the problem is the pack. Field looked very exciting before the injury (well for the minutes he was in the pitch) but why did we recruit him? French was also relatively unknown but despite his obvious talent Lam doesn’t seem to know how to get him into the team when fit along with Hardaker.

We lost Burgess, Flower and our biggest back row in Greenwood and signed another back. We are now linked with Thornley and even Gelling. It all seems a bit haphazard to me.

A coach way way out of his depth and too many bang average players, myself certainly and i know quite a few others as well are in no rush to spend our hard earned money on the sh*te being served up!!

Add me to that list. I work hard for my money and like to spend what i have spare on enjoying myself. Watching us play rugby for the last 3 years has been incredibly boring and certainly not enjoyable. I bought a season ticket last season for the first time in years on the back of the Burgess signing, i was impressed. Luckily covid meant i couldn't go and watch the dross and i let the club keep the cash. I won't be making that mistake again.

Two games to cover at fullback. It has either got to be Hanley or take a risk on Smith. I cannot think of anyone else. Best thing to do is to say to Hanley that he has two games and to enjoy himself and remind him that his performance is not going to have a big impact by the end of the season.

Why would previous year’s performances dictate this year?.
If that’s the case then Saints would win in perpetuity

I’ll take Huddersfield when we meet and let’s have a bet where the loser pays into a named charity. I’d like it to be the Wigan Hospice but more than happy to discus an alternative .
Who do Huddersfield need to shutdown??

We’ve lots of missing players and and a coach missing in coaching skills so I’d be quite amazed if we can turn it around in 2 weeks

Simple process of probability. Like how Wire haven't won the league for 60 years.

I'll take your bet on. If we can get Gildart and Isa on the field I see us winning a close game, or a narrow loss but either way the charity wins.
