Is it not clear Wane was given players to work with rather than saying ‘please can I sign the 7th choice prop from Catalans’ or ‘I’m desperate to bring in that player released by Widnes’ etc? The players are signed by Radlinski and Lenagan and they’ve admitted as much. I doubt Lammy suggested we sign Joe Bullock or Jarrod Sammut and I doubt he’s asked for us to sign Mitch Clark. I’m also sure had Wane been offered George Burgess over Tautai, Liam Watts over Navarette and so on he’d have gladly taken it. Maybe we signed players to a game plan but I’m more inclined to believe we signed them due to the low costs involved. Good quality big forwards cost big money whereas small budget grafters cost far less.
The one thing Wanes detractors promised when he left was this upturn in the quality of the rugby on show. It’s probably been the least entertaining season I can remember as a Wigan supporter so far.
You actually think Wane would have not been in exactly the same position with the injuries and loss of players like Sutton, Sam T and Bateman and the likes of Bitcon gone from the backroom staff? Really? He always had better quality players to work with than our current squad and the RL was still dour. The quality of the side has been eroded steadily ever since he took over and it now worse than ever. No one who pointed out the obvious dour rugby on offer from Wane was advocating change so we could carry on down the same road. They expected a better and more qualified coach than Lam to be the man in charge and regardless of whether people were pro or anti Wane I doubt there is one fan happy with the squad given to Lam.
