Probably because Wane wants to utilise him more as a 9 than an out & out 7.

Great. So he's looking at surgery after the internationals? That will be him unfit for the first third of the season no doubt?

<t>What are the staff playing at? I'm all for a mid season team bonding event etc but if the rumours are true, large amounts of alcohol is involved. Mad Monday is all about getting wasted at seasons end, not mid season, especially as we've a large amount of playing staff returning from injury. <br/>...

I'm hearing torn pectoral? Hope not, that's a long stint out.

<t>Would've been a different story Thursday if Mickey Mac, Joel or Lockers were out there. That coward Simms would've gone into hiding. I'm sure the big Jessie has long hair for one reason, that being when there's contact from chest up he throws his girly locks about (like he did early on Thursday) ...

Always been a fan of Sam's. Thought for a while that he would be a nearly man despite him giving 110% every time he pulls on the shirt!
Proving his worth now he's getting a run of games even in his non-favoured position. His 53 tackles yesterday was a huge effort from him.

Very entertaining. Some clown has posted that "Wigan were very average and there to be beaten" ???
Hilarious!

Stealing a living.
Wilkin taken over the reigns from Wellens as chief moaner.

He must be devastated putting in an effort like that and coming up short.

Do the right thing Wane, dump Smith.
