The low crowds and crap team is a direct result of Wane, similar to when Alex Ferguson left David Moyes with a team he’d won the league with the year before. Moyes was left with a substandard team as is Lam.
You’re clearly another Wane roundhead who would have him back tomorrow playing his Grey Soviet dull Lada rugby. The funny thing is, apart from the Saints 75-0 and the Leeds 70-0 the worst defeats we’d ever had were with Wane in charge. He never knew how to win a game but knew how not to lose one, by playing negative boring wrestling rugby which worked yes but it’s turned a lot of fans away. How many Wane games were 0-0 at half time? You remember the Widnes 7-0 game? How many tines were we billed under Wane?
I’ve seen enough of Lam to know that our attack is getting better but we need help or need to work on defence that’s for sure, it will be pretty hard for Lam to do anything considering our injury crisis as his methods weren’t going to happen over night. If we had a regular 6 and 7, a proper 9 and Hardaker playing together behind a pack of forwards who run hard and offload then we would be in the top 3.
Just looking, in 2011 in his first season we had an average of 16,000 plus, over 5 years it went down to the figure of last season as 11,000 plus. So 5000 fewer fans per game, how much revenue is that? And that’s a team that’s winning trophies, that’s fans who have voted with the their feet.
2011 wasn't his first season, 2012 was, and that season was fantastic rugby but crowds went down.
