The value of halfbacks.

Wigan this season are really struggling and I think the main reason is lack of creativity in the halfbacks.
Last season when Tomkins moved to fullback Wigan had Tommy Lu playing with Deacon in the halfs,Deacon was the straight man and Tommy was allways liable to try something different.
When Deacon was injured Lockers was moved to stand off which in a way was something different and it seemed to come off.
This season we have Deacon and Finch who are both so sterotyped in their play,by that I mean using short balls all the time trying to put a forward through.
Both of them lack the pace to try the unexpted by going themselves,one player of this type is 0K but two just makes Wigan so predictable.
I think Wigan have to show a bit of vision and get a young halfback in the team or they will carry on struggling as they seem to have all season.

As a footnote is JA606 back to stay ?.
