Our forwards did ok last night Singleton and Havard was very good if Singleton can play to that level consistently it eases any concerns once we add in Mago and Ellis. Byrne did well apart from the cheap penalty.
Bourough should have had 20mins at end of the game for me he scooted for more yards in 2 mins of possession than we normally get all game, I'm not saying it's all I want to see but the threat ties in the marker defense closer to the ruck and offers us easy yards and maybe the odd penalty.

The lack of minutes for Bourouh sums up Lams mentality for me. It’s all about us being solid, no thrills, no risks and defensively sound. We were chasing a game and left a fresh, attacking hooker sat on the bench until giving him a token few minutes once the game was up.

I’ve never come across a bloke as contradictory as Lam is. He talks about attack and wanting to thrill people but is so defensive and refuses to pick anyone who won’t play like a robot

Thanks.

Singleton put in a cracking shift and somewhat ironic Havard had a quieter night.

Rest of the middles provided the standard lack of go forward. I wouldn’t mind so much if they were generating quick play the balls.

Powell 21 is a big issue 11m. Whilst it’s not his job it highlights how 1 dimensional he has become.

add to that his slow and inaccurate passing and its a massive issue, not as much as just resigning him

Compare his stats to Clarke and Dwyer he is miles behind Powell is the problem at Wigan's attack too slow .Clarke and Dwyer playing at hooker look around them to see whats what Powell just passes the ball to whoever is on his left the defense then smother that player .
