There are a lot of players who leave Wigan, and very few of them go on to have better careers than if they had stayed. I wonder if Gildart had his time again, for instance, or Budgie, or Josh… Thompson is an absolute beast of a player, and if we see him as a 13, then I can’t wait to see it happen.

King must surely be a Warrington player?
I would have thought that, of next year’s wigan squad, if fit, Thompson, Dupree, Havard and Wardle would merit consideration for places in the squad, plus Marshall is much better than Ashton.

I can’t say I care either way. It’s Danson’s money, and he won’t count on the cap in year one anyway. Given the risk from his perspective, I don’t see what’s in it for him.

I agree, the Channel 4 one was superb. They do seem to have some very short camera people, but aside from that it was so good I would re-watch it. At the end, it sounded either that was it for Channel 4 coverage (or they don’t know whether it would be), which would be a shame, though I appreciate th...

As to your Aunt ask our resident insider, Josie, to have a word with Rads who I am sure would be very keen to sort something out.

I’ve sent him a PM

Oh, thank you! That’s so kind.

I just had a couple of questions… First, my aunt is 100 next May. Having been jumping around like a teenager after the Grand Final last week she is still going strong (and is a huge fan of Jai Field, whom she finds “lovely to watch”), I am thinking of letting the club know, to see if they would make...

I would be happy if he stayed, and agree that a team needs hard workers, which was his role. I wish him well, but am not losing any sleep over his leaving us. I think KPP is a bigger loss, but am looking forward to seeing what Walters can do. I will be beyond astonished if Owen Farrell signs, as tha...

I wish him well. I may be out of step, but isn’t he simply an effective work horse. How many tries does he score, or create and how many clean breaks? He might have developed into a ball playing 13, but he might not. I think the club has shown since Peet took over that it knows exactly what it’s doi...

I don’t want to labour the point, but signing for Canberra is not the same as signing for the Roosters. The winters are grim, and the place is dull dull dull. The lifestyle in Standish has more going for it than Canberra.

I think we could fill the Etihad for it. There must have been 40,000 of us there on Saturday.
