Re: Willie Isa

Willie had a few knockers, but, when he was out at the start of last season, our right edge defence was struggling. He came back and it settled down surprisingly quickly. The doubters seemed to quieten down after that. Also don't underrate the Matt Peet philosophy of team togetherness, "having ...

Re: Wigan Warriors haven’t had things all their own way - and might be even stronger for it

One significant feature of this report is that there's no mention of Nsemba. I know it focuses on the spine, and our difficulty period, but you'd expect him to be in there. My first thought was that this is wrong, but on reflection I'd say it's a compliment, as he's no longer considered a young lad ...

Re: Super League playoffs: can anyone topple serial champions Wigan?

None of this negates the point that we can be beaten whatever our expectations lead us to believe. I'm sure that our coach is cognisant of this. And nothing I said suggested that, Archie, as the highlighted section above indicates. I appreciate that point Morley but "in all honesty "you a...

Re: Catalan Dragons face huge financial challenge in 2025…

I'd like to think that the costs saved by SL clubs will be put into developing their own scholarship, academy, and reserves so that each club has a clear pathway for younger players to enter the game and develop through to the first team. I won't be holding my breath! Agreed, Ted. I'd add that IMG ...

Re: Super League playoffs: can anyone topple serial champions Wigan?

In all honesty if we play well we win. I agree, FS. We shouldn't overlook the fact that we need to respect Leyth and beat them first In terms of who I'd like us to play if we make it to the final, I think us v Rovers would be more entertaining. However, I'd feel more confident on the day if it was ...

Re: wiganwarriorsfans.com Player & Young Player of the Year results

Thank you Josie and Meds. Great job done.

Talk to another Wigan fan from Morley the other day and we agreed we couldn't separate Jake and Luke. Marshy was also in the frame for us.

Re: Mike Cooper to retire

I found this a very informative write-up. Rads said "He added that element of experience when we needed it." Despite Mike's limited time on the pitch, part of the reason he was brought in was clearly the influence and example he could give to our younger players. The fact that Cooper calls...
