I’d rest as many as possible this week, it’s been a long season for us.

I expect Catalan to be pretty much full strength as they have a week off next week & won’t want to go into the semi undercooked.

If Catalans do go full strength (ish), then a tanking for a weakened Wigan side won't be great either.

True, a tanking and fatigue for a full strength side would be worse though.

James McDonnell has been recalled from his loan and will be in the squad on Friday. I think we can safely say we’ll be resting plenty.

Pretty much expected in fairness. I think I’d prefer us to go all out but can see why we’d rest.

He's also brought Isa and Clubb back in.

Who knows what team Lam will play tho. He could put Isa anywhere.

Lam said in his interview that we have the best attacking shape in the comp.

I mean that's preposterous. Like really really delusional.

I watched his interview on Wigan TV earlier and he spoke about how we’re aiming to keep teams to two try’s or less but then his next line blew my mind. He said we’ve been discussing in training how we can look to get the three try’s we’ll need to win games. Set the bar nice and low I know he probably didn’t mean it like it came out but he says some ridiculous stuff. I’ve gone easy on him these past few weeks with us knowing he’s leaving, mainly because of the huge respect I’ve still got for his time here as a player and because I can tell he has a genuine attachment to the place but thank the lord is coaching tenure is nearly at an end.

I can’t listen to him anymore.
I’ve got past being angry. I just shake my head at some of his comments.
It’s got to the point where I no longer log onto Wigan tv

Only 2 more games of this thank god.

Re: Catalans (H) : Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:13 pm  

I can’t bear to listen or read any of his interviews. The more I do the more I think he’s in need of psychological help.

Actually gutted this is how I’ll remember Adrian Lam more than for his simply brilliant playing days here. A delusional, useless coach.
