Havard looks shot. Desperately needs a rest after carrying the weight of the entire pack on his shoulders for far too long.

I appreciate we have signed Mago and Ellis for next year, not both are still kids in real terms in their positions.

We desperately need another 28-31 year old battled hardened prop.

Lams turned on the players now: https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/lam-slam ... ers-42509/ It was Adrian Lam’s birthday today, but he was far from happy with what his Wigan side dished up against Leeds at the DW Stadium. The Warriors went down 14-0, with an attack that looks void of confidence and a team that seems to lack any kind of communication. And, Lam can certainly understand fans’ concerns. “I feel it worse than anyone else in the stadium – I’m looking out thinking that’s not how we train or what we do,” Lam said. “I just don’t get it and I use the word cohesion a lot, but when you’ve got players that haven’t played big minutes, they get easily fatigued and worry about their own performances and injuries rather than the unity aspect. “We’re doing it tough at the moment and only those between the four walls in the changing rooms can get us out of it.” Lam believed his side should have gone into half-time ahead. “It wasn’t a good night, we’re a little bit down in confidence in the whole group and I think it is reflected in how we’re playing at the moment. “We had some opportunities in the first-half and we could have taken control of the game. “But when we didn’t score first the pressure builds, and we then go into halftime 6-0 down it becomes a sh*tfight.” Lam says he will have no problem in dropping some players for their performances – though Sam Powell will not return for Monday’s away clash at Castleford. “We need to consider some people’s position in the team, some changes need to be made. “There’s one thing picking players but you need to pick players that are playing well and that’s hard at the moment.”

I’d like another but it looks unlikely. On the plus side from tonight, Singleton looked to carry on his upturn in form from before his ban. One play tonight summed up how the game really isn’t rocket science and that was Bateman throwing a short ball to Singleton in the second half. He absolutely steamed on to it, broke the line and went close to scoring. Why does it seem impossible for our players to show that sort of aggressive running on a regular basis?

Just watched the game and the Sky comments again and they’ve at least gone down the line fo questioning Lam’s position. Having been in the ground tonight it came across far worse on TV actually. The general apathy in the stadium and the comments from Lam I’ve just read from his interviews with different press, I just can’t see him lasting until lunch tomorrow if Lenagan has any ounce of respect for the club and fans who’ve stuck by the club. I note that Gildart was dragged off, I think after the comment on the screen where he said ‘don’t blame me blame the pass.’ If only Lam had been as ruthless with some other players in his tenure we may not have fallen quite as far. I won’t complain if Gildart doesn’t play again for us though. Shambles of a performance and by the looks of it an attitude to match.

On one of our attacks we had all the momentum. Hastings was carrying it we had the overlap on the right edge but nobody pushed up with him.

In the end Hastings put in a grubber.

If he had push around him we would have walked in the try.

That happened a few times. The absolute lack of basics is embarrassing.

The dressing room is lost and player power is in progress.

We don't have a wonderful squad, and it certainly has weaknesses, but it is certainly good enough to be competitive at the top of SL. There aren't many SL sides who wouldn't want an in-form Hastings, Gildart, Farrell, Marshall etc.It's impossible to think another coach could not have got more out of these players, considering how far we've gone backwards.

Don’t forget you also have the best Full Back in World Rugby too!!
