We should sign a crowd pleaser

<t>I wish the club would sign an old fashioned crowd pleaser type of player. A player with skill, flair and determination. A player who plays with his heart on his sleeve and clearly enjoys being on the field. A player that means you look forward to the match all week and eagerly await his first tou...

Re: Tonights Game

<t>Reasonable start to the new season, nothing to go over the top about but we looked sharp, fit and enthusiastic. The pre season training has done its job, now comes the difficult bit we've got to improve by about 5% every week something that last year we didn't do if you remember we started well t...

Planning for the future

<t>A few years ago l attended a fans forum at the DW where IFL gave a long lecture about the present and future make up of the Wigan squad. On the smart board he had a spreadsheet detailing which players would be playing this season, next season etc, which academy players would be coming through and...

Re: Shambles

<t>The thing that concerns me about all these comings and goings is the timing. Yes there is a cold light of day argument that FPN, Gelling and McIllorum take up too much salary cap and therefore should be released ( the same could apply to a few more ), but to do this a few weeks before the season ...

Re: Vs cas

<t>The biggest factor holding back our young players is the brutal wrestling regime at Orrell. Young players should be trained in the skills of the game in a way that does compromise their physical wellbeing. I've heard numerous reports of the goings on in academy training which are very unsavoury, ...

Re: Vs cas

<t>I think the score flattered us yesterday we only lost by 16 the gulf in playing standards could have resulted in a cas victory by 40 to 50 points.<br/> <br/> We had no idea tactically same as all season and our skill levels compared to theirs were dreadful.<br/> <br/> Why is this the answer is si...

Thank you Shaun but its time for change

<t>Shaun Wane was a good player for Wigan in the 80s, he signed for the club when they weren't top dogs and he spent the best part of a decade playing for the club. I remember him has a tough no-nonsense prop forward who never took a backwards step and he had a terrific game when Wigan beat Manly to...

We have ridden our luck

<t>A lot of the posts on this forum often bemoan our luck saying how unlucky we are and how we are being done badly to by the RFL and match officials etc. I would like to argue against this point and suggest that in the past few seasons we have been very fortunate and this papers over some very evid...

Tonight's game what Wigan need to do

<t>Well it's another Wigan v Saints derby and arguably it's the most important one of the year. If Wigan are at all serious about the grand final they need a home semi final and that means losing no more than two of their remaining 5 super 8 games and with away trips to Wire and Hull looming large t...
