I don't agree that it was clutching at straws, but obviously you can only try and make metres when you get given a carry, and in that respect metres per carry is a better indication of go forward than metres per game.

It's all moot though now, and you're right Shaun is a young player in his first season with a great future ahead of him. Amos can deliver more than he has, and i'm sure if you talked to the guy he'd feel the same.

Lets see what next season manages to bring.

Boring!

Sorry to post this
I read these forums more than i post, but is their some sort of agenda at the moment that wigan fans pick on wigan fans.
i.e. every post seems to turn into Dave O against everybody else or have i missed something , its started to wear a bit thin with me,and hands up who thinks giving a four year deal to Amos Roberts was a good idea .

I'm sorry but I dont think I have ever heard a positive word about Wigan come from DaveO. He is constantly trying to put a downer on all things about this great club and TBH it is starting to 'wear a bit thin with me'. Fair enough Roberts hasn't played to his best ability this season, but he has signed a four year deal and he is here to stay. The best thing for Roberts could be a change of coach. A coach who at Melbourne was a coach for the backs and worked with the likes of Inglis and Slater. Whats the point in slating Roberts now? The season is over. If he carries on underperforming 2 months into the season, with a new coach, then fair enough.

How about getting behind the lad and supporting him? Isn't that what supporters do?

Nail. Head.

My only agenda is to support the club - that includes the chairman, the players, and our coaching team.

I'm not even picking on or even arguing with Dave, you'll notice i agree with some of the things he says.

I just really really want our fans to put any squables, arguements, rivalries, dislikes for certain players etc aside. Lets have a clean slate for next season with our new coaching team, and give our club all the support we can.

I'm seeing people optimistic all over the town, there's more people talking about the club than ever before - i'm even seeing people who stopped following Wigan closely after we left Central Park taking a keen interest again - I haven't seen this sort of buzz around since Graham Lowe took over and it's a good feeling, and i'd like to enjoy it over the off season.

I also seem to be developing Dave's paragraph structure.

I wasn't having a go at you. I was having a go at the fact that DaveO seems to have an obsession with picking the bones out of every post a fellow Wigan fan makes about something that he disgrees with. Ainscough has the fans full support, he has had a outstanding first season and he can only get better.

Shaun's a great young player who's got a great future ahead of him at the club - but he's not currently the messiah of wing play that a [itiny[/i few would have us accept.

Amos is a good player who's yet to fulfill what he's capable of delivering in a Wigan shirt - but isn't the piece of trash that a [itiny[/i few would have us accept.

I support both the guys, after all they're [iour[/i players.

Thanks for that reply i would like to argue butt i agree with the sentiment of your post .
It just seems some people seem to be targeted whenever or whatever they post . After all we are on the same side .

I agree with you completely and it's something that's occurring from all 'factions' of the fan base.

One Love, One Club!!

peace out

He's a very naughty boy? Ah well, blessed are the cheese makers.

And Brett Dallas

So MM will become an enemy of the people then if he deems Roberts a better choice than Ainscough next season?

I'll let him run with it

I suspect he knows a bit more about RL than us collection of opinionated numpties

I agree mate, but given people loved to beat Noble with this stick, you would expect consistency in this incorrect argument

Hey i'm sure the slagging off will start somewhere at some point



Lets just all enjoy the love for now

Thats stupid, metres per game is far more telling. It shows the work put in over the entire game rather than a one off carry. It's better to do consistent runs and not necessarily make many metres per carry but make a lot overall than do a few big runs and have a higher metres per carry stat. For example Fielden has a higher metres per carry than Graham but Graham has made 100m per game more than him. Which would you rather have?

What's so special about cheese makers?

Well obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products

100% correct

You just compared 2 completely different situations like I never thought anyone could. Well done.

Apparently you've missed the point.

Come on guys feel the love!!
