Totally agree with some people on here we play leeds in challange cup and use 16 men against a far bigger pack (tuson never played from the bench) feka travelled as 18th man, then again tonight we put deacon on the bench who does 8 mins surley we could have used feka on the bench to bulster the pack again against a far bigger pack. i understand feka is not what he used to be but surley 15 mins of feka taking the ball in killing energy from a side is better than deacon or tuson sat there doing nothing

Feca had a decent game in the reserves today - played the full 80, lots of carries and did nowt wrong in defence that I noticed.

Sorry but in my opinion we lost because of the actions of the players on the field rather than the choices of the coaching staff; perhaps the weather made a difference, the deluge before kick off changed the nature of the pitch and probably favoured the bigger pack rather than a running game which perhaps Wigan were looking for especially given the subs Wigan had. I agree that the coaching staff haven't got everything right - none ever do (I am sure even someone like Bennett has made mistakes) but there was enough talent on the pitch to win the game - at 16 all the game was there to be won.

Personally I base my opinion on Feka on the games he has played this season - and I am not convinced that in that game he would have made that much difference . Coley yes we did miss.

Maybe we would have been better with another prop on the bench - but given that Fielden took a very heavy knock early on (on tv the implication was he was knocked out or close to being) which I think effected him for the rest of the game - and Mossop got injured as well it limited the choices at the time.

Still water under the bridge now - I am sure the coaching staff will take on board what happened and the players too hopefully and learn from thier mistakes.

People seem to forget Maguire is using 'used tools' ie. an old regime's players (with the exception of Deacon). I think he has done terrificly well in taking us to where we are now. I'll be honest, I hope for silverware this season more than expect it. League leaders shield we may win but as for SL, I think with the squad we have and shortage of props is our achilles heel ATM, so for that reason I don't think we will win SL.

But even if/when we don't, I'll still be pleased with this season.

Agree with you.

If I assume that MM+SW had a reason not to select Feka that we as fans are not party to, Coley, O'Carroll and McIlorum unavailable, and Davies probably still probably needing a few more SL games before being thrown into a game like last night, then I think our bench selection actually made sense (i.e. we played what we could).

We had a very mobile pack out there, and I think we were looking to play to that strength. We then had the Fielden hit (having to bring on Mossop before plan, and greatly affecting the rest of Stuarts game) and then Roberts picking up his injury (2 tries follow) and we're forced to take him off and try and reshuffle on the fly. In retrospect maybe we could have reshuffled differently, maybe it would have made no difference, we'll never know now.

well lets not forget this is MM's first season as a head coach and also that its a new team to him, i mean compared to him taking over a game or two at the storm where he has been for some time

personally i think hes doing a cracking job, i mean, nobody is perfect
