For me though the signing of Farrell was very much real even if it's not happening I will be chuffed to bits if Smith signs and we don't get anyone else. I really do believe he's worth whatever it takes to keep as with him steering us around we could have a real decent next few years. I would use wh...

Phil Gould mentioned him the other week, a lot will depend if he wants to go now or if he wants to, would be good to get him tied up for a few more years at least.

I don't think we will be weaker just different with potential to be better. Smithies is the biggest loss he plays most weeks seems pretty robust and plays at a pretty high intensity, in big games he can do the 80 knock out 50 tackles plus and takes ball in over a dozen times at least, his link works...

Always thought Joe may replace Isa in the squad, but he may well not have wanted that role, although I do think Isa's role as changed from cover to if he's fit he plays. His experience, aggression and attitude both on and off the field are highly thought of. Back to Joe been a valuable squad player,...

Been watching this for a while on RU sites. From around the time I was told we was in for him, at that point it seemed he would be offered less money than the 750k he was said to be on. Figures around 500k was mentioned. This as steadily increased over the time until now. Everytime it's been "h...

Pretty sure we played a challenge cup match at St Helens 83/84 season in a mud bath, we had our away strip first half and either a different away top second or maybe Saints away shirt! You couldn't tell who was who at half time.

You imagine with the forwards we have they will run with three middles. If no one comes in you could see Leeming or O'Neil taking the other bench spot with three big bodies. You could see O'Neil getting time at 13 with Leeming at 9 on occasion and it may even end with O'Neil being a 13 his aggressio...

Good luck to Sam gave 100% Everytime he pulled on the shirt. I would hope he wins a trophy but he's at at Wire :shock: With Smithies going and without knowing if the squad is finalized do Wigan see O'Neil getting a go at the 13 role at points? Obviously this then opens the pathway for Forber when ne...

Was very nice evening and a decent turn out great to see so many young families with Wigan bob hats, all part of the community work that's being done I imagine. Good band great covers of different eras and genres. The fireworks was also spot on daughters not a kid anymore but she giggled all the way...

Makes sense that we have signed Thompson as a 13 now. Good player Smithies, solid. But if we get a fit and firing Thompson at Loose, I won’t be too fussed with Morgan leaving. Good luck to him, sure he will go well. We must have strong ties with the raiders that’s 4 players they’ve had of us now. B...
