If you could just keep him for another week, that would be great,

The lack of action from IFL on this if Lam is still there by our next game highlights a total lack of strength from our senior management.

He must go.

The slight problem with this is that it’s clearly not all down to Lam.

We simply don’t have the tools to do the job.

Our recruitment has been suicidal at best and to see this team go from side to side due to absolutely no go forward is sad to see.

I was one of the few who stated that Lam wasn’t ready for the Wigan job but it’s clear he has been completely undone by shocking recruitment.

If you average our for and against over 21 games, we lose each game 17-16

So who is selecting the team? Is it Lam alone or does he ask for input then ignore it? What on earth is going on?

Again he selected the young props whilst our three other senior props were sat in the stand. Week in and week out Lam is flogging these young forwards when their careers are not at the stage to be starting props every week. Especially with the workload of playing more games than any other club due to Covid.

Cas on Monday is a nightmare waiting to happen and at this rate Wire will have a field day. What does worry me though is if Lam puts those young forwards out v Catalans who have probably the biggest pack in the league. Lam simply must be prevented from doing that. Whether we like them or not Bullock, Clubb, Clark & Singleton all have to play against that huge Catalans pack. Lam also has to change tactics.
The idea that we can kick long and chase hard after playing more games than anyone is ludicrous. He has to slow the game down and slow the opposition down. Not in the tackle or wrestle as we'd concede too many pens and restarts. Simple enough and he must do it.

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.

All good players but useless without decent props.

200+mins without a try

We’re short at prop, make no bones about it but we’re not this short. We got mullered in the middle against Saints but not tonight. In that first half we made ground and still don’t do anything with it.

Re: Enough is enough. : Wed Aug 25, 2021 10:33 pm  

Yeah, but I just don't fully buy this catch-all argument that lack of props is the top and bottom of the problem. There have been plenty of times in recent games, including tonight, where we have in fact had a fair amount of field position, but our attack still looks blunt when we reach our opponents' 20. And that's surely down to basic coaching.
