Injury prone signings, overpaid dross and naive use of the salary cap by Lindsay has caught up with Wigan. And naturally, the sale of Farrell who has been carrying them n recent years. Injuries have hit them but the likes of Salford, Wakefield etc have had as much if not more. The loss of O'loughlin was a cruel one tohugh and has hit them hard. He's an international class player, and a true leader. Something they're missing ATM.
Obviously I enjoyed the scoreline but I really feel for the fans. For what everyone says the core of the Wigan support are a loyal bunch, despite their years of success. They brought a lot of fans over and the majority stuck it out to the end, and supported the team.
They'll be better off when Lindsay's well out of there and that's starting to become the general consensus here in Wigan.
Listening to Millward as well, I'm not really sure how much of his heart's in this job.
On a positive note, superb display by Sean Gleeson. Young gun in his second game, playing out of position and looked like one of the few playing with heart and purpose. You've got to feel sorry for youngsters such as him, when the senior players such as SeuSeu, Moran etc are letting them down and not showing the way.
They'll bounce back though. May take a couple of seasons of rebuilding but they've got a big fanbase, great stadium, and good resources.
