what do wigan actually do in pre-season training?
We work on an expansive running game, involving the hooker spinning a short ball to the first receiver, and he drops it off to a forward, who doesn't actually run onto the ball, and never hits the gap, that way we conserve energy as no running has to be done.
When we struggle to score any points using plan A, we resort to plan B, which is when the forward who took the ball and made no yards, turns in the tackle and offloads to another player who's stood still, and again makes no yards.
Plan C involves more of the above, however the guy taking the offload attempts to pass the ball, which usually results in a knock on and the fans complaining of us trying to be too flamboyant.
Plan D involves us relying on luck to get a few penalties to get us into the opponents 22, and then a kick to the corner for Richards, at which point the entire coaching staff can be seen praying for a try.
