Although Bevan's very sad circumstances haven't changed the club's situation has because, each week, he is falling further behind the other players in terms of fitness/preparation. A difficult situation but I wonder if the club has a date in mind where they decide that they jut can't wait any longer.

Very pleased to see it back. I think that lots of younger players (not just at Wigan) had their development stalled by the lack of games last season.

Report today quotes Lammy saying that it's 'fake news' Never mind, would have been interesting.

Good signing for Leigh. I'll be very interested to see how Lachlan goes and think he'll look very good at that level. If Leigh don't get promoted, I'm sure that he'll move to a super league club the following year.

I've just checked and vaccinated people are still free to leave Australia so covid shouldn't be a problem unless things change again. Does the club book the flights or is it left up to the players?

I'm sure I've read that he prefers playing centre too. Bibby and Thornley will do a solid job for us but I'd like to...

Does anybody know for certain when they will be here? I know there are reasons why they're getting here later but the sooner we get them into the system the better. If we're hoping for a good season we need both of these players to be well above average. I know there's probably no point asking about...

Well done to all those people who, yet again, donated the money that Kev has raised. As ever, they are the real heroes in any charity fundraising.

The comment by Peet which I found most encouraging was that he thinks Thornley will 'increase competition for places' which seems about right to me. I know we'd all have liked to have signed a top class centre but if we can't do that a bit of squad depth is always a good thing. The Silva signing is ...
