The decision on Peet could make things worse but they could make things a damn site better.

It isn’t a given he’ll crash and burn at all, it isn’t a given he’ll just continue to plod away with our current style of concentrating on nilling teams and playing the most boring brand of rugby I’ve ever seen a team play etc. He could be sat there as frustrated as everyone else with how things have been going and be bursting with ideas of how he can change things. We better hope he is anyway.

That’s pretty much my last bastion of hope and why, in my own self delusional it would seem, I’m clinging on by the last thread of my fingernails to the ‘we’ve a bright future’ notion.

Although at this point having re watched the game I’m wondering why I’m even bothering anymore. I can’t remember enjoying a Wigan game in a long time, I just can’t even be bothered speaking about Wigan anymore.

I’m relieved we were beaten and the season is done.

Exactly the same as me. I sit there bored out of obligation and i'm almost glad when somethng comes up that means I can't go. I've never felt less excited about watching Wigan....without any signs of change next year I think it will be even worse. Tbh i'll probably give up and start watching more NRL.

I think fans are concerned about the new coach appointment ia because no matter how bad that coach does thet won't be sacked. So giving Peet a chance isn't see how he goes and if he does well then good, if he does bad then get rid, fans are worried that if he does do bad we are stuck with hin because IL doesn't want to sack a coach

Huge concern of mine as well. I honestly wonder what it would take for IL to sack a coach - bottom? Adrift by 6pts? Does it really have to get that bad? We for some bizarre reason decided to stick with Lam even when Stevie Wonder could see us for what we were. We had a chance in May/June to get rid, if we’d have done that I wonder where we’d be now. I’m not for one minute suggesting GF contenders but if bet my bottom dollar we wouldn’t have lost 14-0 then 8-0 to that Leeds side at home.

The length of the deal will be interesting. I can’t see it being more than a year but if it is 2 or 3 years than I’d hold those same fears. Hopefully Peet will do the business though. I’ll throw my (vast) weight behind him anyway and back him because he at least deserves us to do that. This seasons been a nightmare and boring beyond belief but the good parts have been without the ball, so there’s no reason to doubt he can do the job he’s given on that basis.

I wish the guy well.

It would be an interesting one, I don't see Wigan as a team that lacks effort/discipline necessarily so it would be more about the coaches around him than him.

He was after the Wakefield job, I’m guessing he will end up at Salford.
