Burrough stank the place out on Wednesday when he came on. I know he is a young lad but he is leaving anyway so O'Neil has to play surely

On the basis that we’re almost certainly not recruiting at 9 for next season, consistenly leaving O’Neill out (particularly after bringing back from Widnes) is up toward the very top of our long list of baffling player non-selections recently. Having Borough in there is equally as baffling. If you have a long time servant say returning from injury and on their swansong then they’re in, regardless of how long of the season is left. With Bourough not being retained, why on earth is he even being considered for selection, particularly as a very low risk back up 9 option when we have another there of the same ilk who we deem worthy of keeping on?

It's not just the personnel, it's the entire structure. It doesn't matter who plays, if we carry on offering little movement and options for the player makers, we have no chance. Players just aren't moving, there's little effort other than the odd play where we set up, and when we do it that obvious we are doing it, it's easily picked up on.

Our confidence is shot to bits and without some serious changes in how we play, this season will just fizzle out as one to well and truly forget.

The bad part is that who we have lined up to fix this issues, is already part of what has been going wrong.

Castleford -6 with William Hill is well worth lumping your life savings on

I checked big handicaps online and quite fancy Cas -26 on Bet 365 at 6/1.

Buying money at -6

I feel really sad saying this but I honestly think Il watch Corrie instead. Not because we'll more than likely lose but because it isn't even remotely entertaining to watch us play.

Dreadful when it's come to this.

This.

Just watched an interview with Darryl Powell and he blames most of your woes on not having a settled full back or hooker for most of the season.

Could’ve been fixed by playing a young lad at fullback but Lam only flogs young forwards to death.

I’ll be honest, I’m not interested in who starts not picking a side. We could have the Australian National Team starting for us and we’d still look crap. I’m not looking forward to today’s game one bit.

Wigan will win today and score loads of points

We had two tickets for Cas a few seasons ago but, on the day of the game, my wife wasn’t feeling too well and I ended up going on my own. I sold her ticket to a Cas supporter half price. Karma’s coming our way tonight, mark my words.

Just realised it's on at 5 so can't use Corrie as an excuse - maybe Il watch Pointless instead (there's probably some irony in that somewhere).

Hopefully Mcshane being out might limit the damage somewhat.

They looked even better the other night when Ollie Holmes went there. I just want us to get hammered every game now and miss out on the top 6. Anything to show Lenegan the club needs a kick up the ass.

A measure pof the current times when

A measure of the current times when Wigan TV have offered no build up to the game.

No interviews for this one.

Is Wigan TV still a thing? Can’t believe people are shelling out for that if it still is, particularly with the forum not being shown.

Lam after Leeds: we need a shake up, players keep playing out of position
Lam for Cas: yeah we’re running with a prop at hooker with the hooker on the bench and we’ll drop Field and put Zak at FB. Should be fine.

The guy is an absolute moron.

I absolutely hate having what I full well know is false optimism that one week we’ll turn up and put the quality performance together that our current squad is well capable of.

Far more likely to have 50 put on us that that at the moment…how many s***te performances can we string together in a row. Leigh aside (which doesn’t really count), how many half decent performances have we put together this season?

So much for those big changes and threatening to drop people. Bourouh and Field not picked?

Lam has officially confirmed himself as the biggest fraud going at our club. Any ounce of pity I had for him losing his job has gone. His comments now just make him look like an over-emotional idiot who can’t back up what his gob puts out in the press.

“We didn’t score last Wednesday because of the short turn around”

What about the week before? He’s deluded beyond belief. He must be half cut during these interviews.

Bingo!

First pass.



Its going to be a long night.

Cas easily march down field each set, we struggle and end with a kick with absolutely no pressure applied.
