If he can get the pack to perform at a consistant level the backs sort themselves out, as has been shown in more than one match this year

Just beat Saints

We have had this for the past few years, sucess can only determined with a trophy, even the Wire have won one

Its all very well IL demanding that a trophy less season would be a failure, but the onus is on him to get MM the players he requires. Wayne Bennett would have trouble delivering a trophy with that squad.

As ive said in other threads, 2011 will be the season where wigan can win something, due to the players within their squad comming off contract at the end of 2010 and the quality in aus comming off contract at the same time.

That is why my expectations are not for a trophy as I think the season after is our season!

That is a must at least. Wire put all there eggs in one basket. They won a trophy but cup nowhere in the league. Luck had a large part to play with it. It could have easily blown up in their inbred faces. But as a wigan fan I want good rugby, I want to go to the DW knowing we are going to win and put on a show, rather than going wondering if Cas are going to turn us other, or worry about Celtic beating us. The trophies will come lets just put the foundations down before we start to build.
