Interesting what the numbers tell you about the assessment of Miski....that hes not really good enough to be the starting winger (as we expected would be the case), given Bibby's got the number 2!
Bibby has progressed significantly since joining wigan, and become a good established player, but he's never a winger in the memory of man....far too slow and his best position is easily centre. You could see that in the 2020 grand final when we missed two chances a quick wingman would have took.
Would have much rather seen Bibby at 4 with thornley as back up, which is what I was really expecting.
My concern, when you look at the team on paper is it still, despite the new signings, looks like a very average and weak wigan team. The starting 1-13 line up is what you would expect to see a team like wakefield or Huddersfield put out. Some good players here and there but generally pretty average and weak.
Let's just hope they gel and the sum becomes bigger than the parts.....if there was one thing wane could do it was that, so lets hope he helps us there.
