It has to happen if Wigan are to move to the next level. Tommy has a lot of heart but he needs to be at 9 or not there at all.

If Wigan had a top class 7 then they would have cashed in on all that pressure tonight. End of. Tomkins would be devastating with a top class organiser.

Good luck for next season!

Get who you want in, the new coach needs to fix that flat line with zero options in order to actually give any half back we play a fighting chance at doing his job.

We were way too predictable and to be honest weve been playing that way for a while. Tomkins 4-5 times tried the step back on the right side only to get hammered each time. If he had 2-3 people moving and creating space hed have got through on some occasions. Instead the centre and winger kept the same line therefore easy 1 on 1 defence situation.

Whoeever takes over has not got that tough a job to turn us into a top side. Just need a decent attack and a much better start to the season.

Absolutely agree with the flat line - our players are stood still when they get the ball. Watched the link on the BBC website the other day which showed the Gill try from the '85 Cup Final & all the space in that try was opened up by the depth & speed of the running. Well, that and Brett Kenny's pass.

Yes we did a few forward passes tonight.

yeah or get a 6 who isnt as greedy

I think we need to win the forward battle more often first!

Sort the front row out.

1. Reignite Fielden's spark.
2. Turn Feka back into the premier wreaking ball we know he can be.
3. Teach Prekkie how to carry a rugby ball into a collision
4. Stop Coley from having brain explosions.
5. Get us an enforcer!!!

If Long was playing 7 for Wigan tonight we go to Old Trafford next week.

It's like Groundhog day every time we are in a tight defensive game - we've nobody who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and dictate it. It's too soon for Sam by a couple of years so Leuluai needs to be the one who does it, but time and again he proves he just isn't up to it.

Correct.

Should have put £4k in those brown paper bags instead of £2k then

Lulu to 9, Piggy on the bench and McIlorum released, that'll do fer me
