Wigan Warriors - wiganrugbyfans.com • Re: Sack Adrian Lam - bring back Wane - all is forgiven

I think it’s unfair to judge us on the Saints game. They’re clearly the benchmark in the league and took Warrington apart the week before.
I don’t think the coaching let us down as much as lack of quality players. We created opportunities but didn’t take them. The glaring example was when Isa bombed the overlap we created on the right, something he did several times at Castleford too!
Go back a few weeks and we were brilliant in attack and nilled Catalans. We showed glimpses of class against Salford, we were excellent for an hour against Roosters.
I accept we’re nowhere near where we need to be but I don’t put that down to the coaching. I put it down to too many players in the side who are simply not good enough. That coupled with the number of young players being thrown in with little experience around them, being played through necessity rather than choice.
I’ve said all along that I’d like Lam to stay on but I’ve always qualified it by saying with a few players being brought in who he trusts to deliver his style of play. To put our current situation down to him alone is just wrong in my view. He’s trying to coach with his hands tied behind his back.
