are wigan fans wanting wane out after todays hammering at wakefield?

and leeds fans must be wanting mcdermott out even after doing the treble last season after only having 2 points more than us?

Leeds fans are asking the same questions as us crikey there was a McDermott out line on their thread last year before the treble worked out for them.

I am beyond the Anderson out thing now we are 8pts behind 9th/8th place the club have by inaction made their position quite clear so I will back them as I have always done and hope that they are right and this is a transition season and that the plans are already in place for Paul to get the players he wants and needs to turn this around for next season.

Anyway a visit to some Championship grounds is probably going to be more fun than yet another Grand Final disappointment and I've missed the annual trip to London too.

so does that mean that they were wrong to start a thread on mcdermott out and right to give him time?

thats good that you will back the giants , wont have to read as many downcast topics

I'd keep Paul,after what he has achieved for us, he deserves the chance to turn things around.Liked the way he changed our style and had got our attack moving nicely early this year.

The defence this year is a concern though,it needs sorting quick.The discipline of our one line of defence when the opposition shifted the ball was always one of our great strengths I thought,but just now it's gone to ratpoop.

I think this is the scenario we can hope for. His contract runs out end of next year so give me till then (he deserves it) But recruitment obviously needs to be addressed in certain areas. After that its Davy's call.

We are looking at 6-8th IMHO, with what would be a fantastic run at some point and I'll be very shocked if we finish higher. Lets hope we can do a last years HKR but with a better performance in the final.

im giving anderson the next 3 games to pick up a win

if not then i want him sacked as it will be unacceptable to win just one game from the start despite everything thats gone on

Is this the same Brearley suggesting our Coach be sacked a couple of posts ago ??


Unless you are over 61 mate it's impossible to have followed this club longer than me

You shouldn't cast stones when your greenhouse seems to be full of holes !!

To finish 8th from here we would have to win at least 8/13 and on current form we will lose the next three

Pride and passion that is all, if you have that the rest will work itself on the pitch. just look at cas they all played for each and want to win every game, we look like we've just give up

The middle 8's concept buys PA some time,there is no way a championship club should beat a team with ex NRL & former/current GB internationals in their line up - is there?

Considering how we capitulate in pressure situations (such as play off games), there is every way this can happen yes. It's not the best team on paper that wins these matches, and we have proven over the last three years to be the worst team in the competition in these situations under our current leadership.
