Some of that but mainly because there's a game this week in case recent activity on here instead of the pitch clouded things.
Don't worry because I'll not be back when you beat us.

We were saying the other day that Wigan seemed to have a very unbalanced squad lacking in depth. You are never in the short term going to replace S Tomkins and Bateman and I'm not sure if you have replaced McLlorum either and the other side of the coin you have 4 wingers and 2 full backs when you need an extra half back and a prop to challenge the players that are in that position now.

Is it a season too far for O'Loughlin now that Wane no longer has an influence to keep on going. Lam has inherited a weaker team and Lenegan obviously needs to splash the cash in his favour.

Still a team good enough to be way higher than joint bottom. Still a squad to be pushing the top lot.

It's not like we've slightly declined, we've gone from champs and undefeated in the playoffs to joint bottom on 2 points. That's a massive fall. Would be ignorant not to consider a change in coach to be a factor.

Over 5 games, if thats the case after 20 then u may have a point. Rome wasnt built in a day

No but Pompeii was destroyed in a day!

Lol... I borrow that off you.

Despite Lam's positive spin on the game in his post match interview, I'm still convinced we're in big, big trouble unless major changes are made.

Yes there was effort but the physical inferiority was shocking as was the basic errors, penalties and lack of attacking ideas.

I actually would be prepared to have a little charity bet that we will be relegated UNLESS there is a coaching change or some significant player recruitment.

We won’t get relegated, not if Furner stays at Leeds

Our next four games before Good Friday are vital to get our season kick-started:

Salford A
Catalans H
Cas A
Wakefield A

To be honest I can only see us winning one match (Catalans at home). I believe the league & playoffs have gone. We must do everything we can to secure Super League status, maybe have a decent cup run (but not at the expense of survival).

2019 has gone, plans must be put in place for 2020.

I’m afraid Lam seems utterly delusional.
He’s happy because training goes well. He sees a defeat as a turning point in the season.
The bloke’s on a different planet.

He's just utterly out of his depth and waiting for the hammer to fall.

Lenegan needs to pull the trigger now.

Who replaces him?
I’m not saying he shouldn’t go. Just a genuine question, who replaces him?

The messiah.

I trust him and can’t wait to see the egg he puts on a lot of faces.

IL is not a sacking coach. Refused to sack Noble and Wane (despite the fairytale ending there had been many, many calls for him to go).

This

We need to keep our collective knickers on.

The bleating hysterics from some wigan fans is cringe worthy

Our timing was off tonight but I finally saw a glimmer of this improved attack we have been promised

Sacking him would only further destabilise us unless people are suggesting he’s lost the dressing room?

Which after 6 games is comical. He ain’t and deserves more time.

Spot on. I’ve seen enough to know we have some great rugby in us. I always said I won’t judge him until Easter at the earliest. The hysteria on here at times is mind blowingly over the top.

With respect, when and how?

The Decks are being cleared and I expect a few others to be let go at the end of the year.

I imagine contracts are already being secured.

New coach whether or not Edwards or a similar Mcguire appointment will made.

Lenners will sort it out, have faith.

This could be a painful season. But I hope it is a 'clear the decks' season allowing Edwards to come in with as clean as slate as possible.

Hopefully with his contacts as status he can bring in talent reforming our club, as currently, it's poop.

the only issue I have with this is that this season must have been seen as a write off then. If thats the case then thats terrible.

Perhaps I'm reading into it... but the silence from IL during this trying period is defending. If anything it could be unnerving for Lam. IL has always been public about support of his staff...until after Joelgate.

There is no reassurance for weary fans about Edwards...however I can appreciate that, IL might see that as being negative and undermining Lam.

I do think some words of support from IL would be comforting for almost everyone connected at this time.

Nevermind Lam needs to go the SL is dead

Just watched this weekends dish served from sky sports and have to say it was pretty dire , less than 5k saints v Hud really poor game
wire v Wigan was pretty poor to watch too.
The game is going backwards
No stars/ambassadors.

Needs some massive changes , salary cap needs to be the first thing that needs the chop. As big of a prick he is , we need to let Eddie Hearn take the reigns at the RL headquarters .

Widnes in the late 80's, wigan in the 90's and Saints/Bradford in the early 2000's that was quality rugby ,entertaining and potential to grow. If we had even a top RL player on question of sport these days no one would have a clue who they where , probably not even some RL fans.

the RL have forced growth with catalans and now they want to send them the bill for having some success , one club who did grow and have success they shutdown (Sheffield) .

SOL but only on a temporary basis.
We need someone to steady the ship. someone who understood the SW system and also has the respect of the players.
