I think Lam deserves a lot of credit for how he sent the team out and how we played in the first half.

I thought his decisions in the second half, particularly his use of subs, was appalling and contributed to the loss.

Are you for real? He was clearly knocked unconscious.

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 thought we were the better team, the sky team seemed to think so too.

He failed the head test - which you obviously would as well.

He rubbed his head after an accidental stinger, he definitely wasn’t ‘unconscious’, he played for a penalty and didn’t get it and that’s ok just admit he played for a penalty and move on.

It was a penalty and the ref got it wrong. He got kicked in the head and accidental or not the rules say that’s a penalty.

Any ref not awarding a penalty because he thought the player milked it (which the player didn’t given he failed the HIA) would be in serous trouble if it then proved a serious injury and he didn’t stop the game.

Re: Lam's after-match comments : Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:11 pm  

Play should have stopped perhaps, or at least it should have gone to the screen, I was surprised it didn't. He wasn't kicked in the head btw, it was a shin on Charnleys other leg that made contact. But Lam is an absolute whopper, you were nowhere near the better team, how could you be when you went down to a team with 44% completion in the first half and Sitaleki Akuoala on the wing? He's an idiot.

You clearly don’t know the rules. It doesn’t matter if head contact like that is accidental or not, that’s a penalty and the ref got it wrong.
