Re: take over offical!!

<t>When it comes to hiring and firing, it isn't 'our club', it's Ian Lenegan's (at least 89% of it is) and Joe Lydon, who incidentally is a very clever chap and nobody's fool, has obviously impressed Lenegan whilst working for him at the Quins. I believe that he will prove to be a most able C.E.O.<b...

Re: Continuity, and a sett...

<t>DaveO, I must take issue with you on this.

In addition, the 'backbone' of the...

Re: A week to decide

<t>The term "spirit of the salary cap" is a new concept which has been 'foisted' upon the RFL by the Independent Panel which heard Wigan's case. In civil and criminal law, the terms, "letter of the law" and "spirit of the law" are used mainly by Appeal Courts where a set of circumstances don't fit a...

<t>Very sad news. <br/> <br/> We signed Keith twice at Wigan. Once when he left school and later he was re-signed from Leigh for £4,444 (an unusual fee - there must have been a reason behind it).<br/> <br/> To me, his finest moment was when he side-stepped and wrong-footed the entire Hunslet defenc...

Terry Newton - A New Slant!!!!

<t>I have read the reams of comments about TN and his indiscetions on the rugby field - from alleged supporters calling him 'our animal' to other sanctimonious posters advocating that we 'de-register' him but I should like to add my own views.<br/> <br/> During a season when our under-sized, under-w...
