I always thought Wigan would recover from their early season debacle and win a few solidly.
It doesn't seem to be like that though. Their senior players come back and nothing changes. Today their pack had Paeleasina back, and again they were trampled.
Their kids are digging in well, its the senior players that are letting Wigan down. The likes of O'Loughlin and Tickle are struggling for form desperately and the likes of Danny Orr, Dennis Moran and Micky Higham seem utter dead beats, despite being stars at their former clubs.
Their imports have failed miserably too. I simply cannot believe a talentless hack like Pat Richards not only played in the NRL, but won the competition as a starting winger. He cannot tackle, it defies belief that he did so well in Australia. David Vaeliki too is an absolutely shocking signing. He is reportedly the highest paid player in Super League, on more money than Jamie Lyon if you believe the press. Yet he has done absolutely nothing to suggest he is a professional rugby league player. In his current form he wouldn't stand out in amateur British league, he hasn't beaten a man since he signed for Wigan that I've seen.
Long may it continue.
