Re: Derby Day!

Since when has Good Friday not mattered? Ok it’s not a cup final, but it’s far more than just another league game. If we have extra gears to go up, we should have been using them on Friday. We need to celebrate when we play well but not be afraid to call out poor performances. Friday had too many po...

Re: Derby Day!

I think Field lost his confidence after those two early fumbles and then late in the game didn’t compete and let them score. He is an outstanding attacking player, but his mistakes are too costly and he is becoming a luxury that we can’t afford. Can’t say I’m impressed with our new players. Thompson...

Re: Luke Thompson

This is a huge gamble on a player who has had an awful injury record for the last three years, and still not looking great. Add to that his questionable attitude, and being on a low having failed in the NRL, this could be a massive problem for us over the next 4 years. What he has shown is that he w...

Re: Sticky plaster Over A Gaping Wound

Matt P inherited this team & he is 18 months in. I think we can win it this year but I’m certain next year after the signings are announced we will all feel in a much better place. We are going in the right direction . I'm sorry, but we do this every year, and every year we end up in the same p...

Re: Hi all

If you mean Smith’s goal kicking then I think that’s unfair. Not sure if you went yesterday but the difference in the wind at each end of the pitch made a big difference for both him and Coote. As for the penalties in the second half, Kendal just had it on him at the time. Even giving a knock on th...

Re: Ian Lenagan maps out Wigan Warriors’ future ownership landscape after admission

IL has been steady, but nothing more. The club has pretty much stagnated under him, we haven't moved forward, or kept up with other clubs. The lack of our own ground is a major blocker to our progress, and will definitely limit interest from any prospective future owners.

Re: IT IS VERY CLEAR

We're 8 matches into a season, with a new coaching team and significant changes to the squad. No doubt more change will be needed for next season. Any reasonable plan/expectation/forecast would not have us beating Saints after 7 league games! I disagree. Madge came in and turned a woeful side into ...

Re: WIGAN TO SNAKE HELENS

Too much emphasis is always placed on individuals. Trying to work out which players are better in a Saints or Wigan side is impossible, because it is how the whole team fits together that really matters, and that comes from coaching and culture, which we are sadly lacking at present. Remember Madge ...

Re: Field

Yes, now get him tied down to a long term contract :D I’ve said it before, but on Hastings podcast just when Field got injured last year he said he’s on a 2 year deal and intends to return once that is up. Fingers crossed things change and he is settled, enjoying his rugby and ambitious to win thin...

Re: DISGRACEFUL

Honestly, I didn’t see it as being remotely as worrying as last year. Our props dented their line much more, and we have already seen plenty from KPP, Field and Cust in attack to feel confident this year will be far more entertaining (with French to come in soon). We can eliminate unforced errors, ...
