Mcdermott's use of the interchange bench defies logic.



An innovative pioneer, who's ideas transcend anything us mere mortals can comprehend?



Or a bumbling baffoon?

.....or even a bambling buffoon

I was relieved when only one (JJB) of our obvious crock 2 (Delaney) played.



JJB shouldn't have played, wasn't at the races and dropped a couple of vital balls.



Clarkson should have started at 'loose' and be given a tackling mission for 25 minutes. Would have been much more productive.



Coupled with a one wheeled Watkins.....we were never going to have enough in the tank late on. So to leave Sutcliffe and Clarkson on the bench for so long, instead of letting them contribute to the team effort earlier, was yet another puzzle.



Probably been said far too much, but 'one game too far this year'. I hope the season review highlights some obvious errors.



As for Wigan, full credit. Won the arm wrestle and their halves moved the ball better at the business end of the pitch.

McDermott continues to baffle. I have previously excused his leaving subs on the bench until late as being some sort of tactic to either introduce fresh legs in the critical last 20. However, it doesn't work when some of your players can't walk. Bringing them on once the game is almost lost has no logic

Mac on JJB:



“He should not have been on the field – and a few more. He has got a ligament that’s hanging on by a thread, but he wanted to play.”



Well guess what Mac you should have made that call !

Do you have a link for that? (not that I don't believe you)



That's a very worrying thing to read and does McDermott no favors
