Worries/nightmares:

Defence out wide
Coley playing
No obvious Piggy replacement without switching everyone's positions.
Starting with Hock and Feka

Positives/living in dreamland:

Coley dropped
Hock and Feka making a massive impact off the bench a la play-offs
Roberts having space to enable us to see his pace first hand
Riddell controlling the ruck area
Smith's brave plays come off and he goes from being villain to being hero (think I was the only one who was happy to see something different like crossfield kicks on the 3rd or 4th tackle - shows initiative and should be applauded. Can't win with some people, bored with one out rugby but when we do try something different they compain about that too!)
Wigan demolish Hull and the pressure is lifted off the players and they go on to enjoy their rugby and play with confidence for the rest of the season.

One can dream but I live in hope

Im worried woody might fall asleep and miss the game

Sorry.

I was just dismayed that a new thread had immediately veered off towards Mathers again. The worst thing he did on Sunday was pull out of the 50/50 kick through. Admittedly, that had me fuming but we have far more pressing concerns than Mathers' defence.

At the end of the day that team - including Mathers - only conceded 12 points. With anything like an attack we should have been able to overcome that. That IMO is the overriding concern at Wigan.

So tripping is ok then

Oops!

Of course it isn't OK - even if it did save a try. The point I was trying to make was that whilst I am not happy with him he is being blamed in some quarters for all our woes.

BTW Demetriou's head shot on Feca was much more dangerous. The fact that he committed the offence doesn't IMO portray if he played well or not.
