Lam's after-match comments : Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:03 pm  

Said what we all thought, of course, about that ridiculous headknock try, but can't agree that we were the better team.

We fluffed so many chances, especially in the second half. And that's down to the coaching staff.

This Wigan team has lots of effort, but zero finesse.

We really, really lack a cutting edge.

What goes on at training? Do we practise attacking moves, or not? Do we study the basics, because we have given some error-strewn performances this season.

Lam was right to call out Hicks for his most idiotic decision yet, but that didn't lose us the game, Our indiscipline, lack of composure and poorly prepared and non-rehearsed attack were the main reasons. And all those issues are down to him.

I stopped listening at “I thought we were outstanding” for fear I may smash the tele.

Im not sure he watched the same game as i did

Agree with all of that. I think Lam is trying to save what bit of fragile confidence we have by trying to deflect attention away from us.

I feel a bit aggrieved with all 3 of their tries, the third being the most blatant.

We lost that game though a lack of execution in attack, no other reason.

Really? Mamo’s try had an accidental collision, no obstruction by Ratchford, nothing else in it.

Pretty obvious we were off the pace tonight, lots of dropped ball. Wigan lack the dominance you’ve had in the past, whether that is injury related I’m not sure. Attitude doesn’t seem the same for me, you’ve always faced us with injuries in the past, I almost feared you more when you did. Somethings different.

He got kicked in the head which caused him to loose the ball, I agree it was accidental but it’s still a penalty.

Played for the penalty by staying down and didn’t get it, he wasn’t bad today but Marshall’s play acting there was a disgrace.

Re: Lam's after-match comments : Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:24 pm  

Disagree, the accidental boot/ankle to Marshall's head is a penalty as it would be with any accidental hit to the head of an opponent.
That try didn't lose us the game. Our attack is so poor there won't be many big games we win this season, if any.
Wire were the better team and deserved the win.

Are you being serious? Marshall went off and failed the Head Injury Assessment. He will miss the Leigh game on Sunday.
