<r>Far too early to write off the season, far too early to write off Wane (though until he "proves" himself many will have their doubts - me included). <br/> <br/> About the only thing I can write off is Bret Finch <E>:D</E>. Hopefully he will prove those right who said he needed time to settle in.....

<t>I have to say that from the SoL testimonial, Dudson looked unfit for the Wigan level. <br/> <br/> I'm not saying this is something that can't be worked on, but he was blowing up after a couple of sets. From where I was sat (near the dugout's) it looked as if he was being given more game time prec...

<t>It would be an absolutely terrible signing. <br/> <br/> The comparison to Steve Menzies (one of THE greatest Rugby LEAGUE players of the last 20 years) must have been a wind-up. It can't have been serious. <br/> <br/> II keep hearing David Beckham is out of contract in LA in November. Surely we c...

<t>It's perhaps not helped him to be alongside Deacon who, whilst I wouldn't say has been terrible either, is certainly coming to the end of his career. <br/> <br/> If I was talking about Finch in comparison to other half backs in the competition this season he'd be mid-table. There's certainly wors...

<t>No. I'm no relation to Mellor...<br/> <br/> I just don't see this great play from Finch. Has he been terrible? No. Not even in the dark days of the early season when he clearly wasn't match fit. <br/> <br/> If you think Finch has been brilliant then fair enough. Opinions make the world go around....

<t>The RFL have to face facts; <br/> <br/> The poor Wigan-Saints crowd (which I can totally understand by the way) was the biggest of the four games. <br/> <br/> The fans have voted with their feet. But we don't count do we? <br/> <br/> I went, but begrudgingly as I think the playoff system as it is...

<t>Mellor would have made mistakes, I have no doubt. <br/> <br/> But my point was that Mellor would not have played any worse given the run in the team. Of course, that can never be proved. <br/> <br/> And Mellor is a rookie. Finch is a seasoned player with a lot of experience behind him. Which make...

<t>I get a lot of "raised eybrows" at work whenever I bring up this subject but I am CONVINCED that the RFL use the referees for their own aims. <br/> <br/> And this isn't simply "they are against Wigan" (although I will say that it was made pretty clear against Warrington who was "supposed" to win ...

<t>A bit late to this but I'll throw my pound in. <br/> <br/> I wasn't one of the "send him home" brigade at the start of the season but neither am I part of the "best thing since sliced bread" throng now. <br/> <br/> He's clearly not a bad player (someone with his NRL record can't just be dismissed...

<t>I'm getting REALLY sick of everytime we lose a game this old chestunt about "they couldn't be bothered" gets wheeled out. <br/> <br/> It might come as a surprise to some, but Billy Boston had bad games. Shawn Edwards had bad games. Ellery Hanley had bad games. Andy Farrell had bad games. Sean O'L...
