Re: Wigan v Leeds match

was so nice not to have any daft head contact issues tonight and a decent clean game overall. Far better to watch. Absolutely but the head contact thing is not going away so I will be more worried next week if we pick up a ban for playoffs than anything else. Which is a ridiculous thing to have to ...

Re: Saints announce increased losses for financial year 2023

with the TV deal i dont think you can say we have a bad deal unless you know what if anything the other offers were. If no-one else wants to buy the product then Sky are well within their rights to offer as low as possible - they owe the sport nothing they are a business. The lower levels of revenu...

Re: Zak Fulton

He’d have to be excellent to take a quota spot. I do think second row needs more depth. Not necessarily, the choice may be limited as a consequence of the amount of money we have available under the salary cap. I think you will see some players leave at the end of the season easing the salary cap i...

Re: Tonight v Hull KR

So much said about the sin binnings and Wigan's ill discipline. I've not seen anything written that HKR lost the game due to their ill discipline. The media have created this narrative that HKR are a very well disciplined outfit. Well they weren't last night and if the media think Wigan won due to ...

Re: Tonight v Hull KR

I thought we’d had it at 8-20 but the team showed great character not to panic. As to the Peter’s and his comments such as quoted on the BBC web site where he obviously thinks 13 v 13 they would have won, well maybe he should ask why when down to 12 they couldn’t keep Wigan out? Team weather a sin b...

Re: Losses deepen at Wigan Warriors, despite boost of new ownership

I'm very grateful for the likes of Lenagan, Danson and all those before them that have kept our great club operating. Thanks Mike, please keep it up. It is certainly not a sport you get involved with as an owner to make money from. Hopefully the losses this year are in part to investments in the tr...

Re: Wigan squad for Catalans (R24)

Kendall doing his best to give Cats a chance. Nothing wrong with that Leeming challenge. I agree, there wasn't. But my question is, at that stage in the game, why take the risk? All he did was tackle the player and it wasn’t a penalty. What happened is IMO that the ref had made his mind up to sin b...

Personally I think if he's fit for Cats he should at least get a few minutes in his legs even just for 20 minutes or so
Me too.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (R23)

I can see Wintergreen's point to some extent. Hopefully we'll have French, Smith, Faz and Ellis back before the play-offs, and minds will be more focused maybe. The other positive is the young lads who've been given a chance to sign and not let us down: Eckersley, Farrimond, Douglas, Nsemba. But to...

Re: Wigan squad for Leeds (R21)

Watched the Harry Smith sending off, it was the act of a petulant child after things haden't gone his way, not good at all. Also watched the Peet interview and he was very honest about errors, soft penalties, discipline and a general poor performance, the trouble is, he is having to do this type of...
