Re: O'Loughlin signs for final season

Brett Kenny was one of the best players of all time but I can't consider him a Wigan legend when he only played 25 games for us. Didn't Gene Miles win more trophies in fewer games? It's just a matter of opinion of course, but in my book, a club legend has to have played for 4-5 seasons. An interesti...

Re: Wigan Warriors 2020 Home & away shirt first look

They've probably just realised that they'd not made a shirt big enough for George!

Re: Wigan winger Davies linked with Catalans

I'll be sad to see Tom go, he always gave 100% and has not reached his peak yet. I understand that we have plenty of wingers (when fit) but hope that we're trying to free up some cap space for another signing otherwise why weaken the squad before we know who's made it through pre-season in one piece?

Great news, all the best Dom, you deserve a long injury-free run.

Re: George Burgess

It will be a fresh start and a new challenge for George and I think he'll be very motivated. He'll never be able to play effectively for forty minutes per half but I'm hoping for decent stints either side of half time. Playing in a different competition on the other side of the world from his two te...

Re: Poor attendance

We have to be careful here when we start to argue about fan loyalty. Some will argue that we should be loyal no matter what whilst others will argue that a club earns fan loyalty over many years. Don't forget, not all of us come from Wigan and we don't have that 'loyalty' that comes from supporting ...

Re: Harry Smith

I'm starting to think that the plan is not to replace Sammut and to promote Harry next season. I'd love to think he's capable of making the jump to regular first team player next season because we need an alternative to Tommy playing at 6 or 7. It would be good if Tommy and Sam P shared the hooking ...

Re: Jackson Hastings ???

I'm confident that Jackson will play for us next season. He strikes me as an honourable bloke and after all, it's only a season if he really wants to leave. If circumstances change then the chairman will need to insist that the contract is honoured and forget about the cash. Everyone now sees us as ...

Re: Wigan Warriors will have a big pack in 2020, says optimistic Ian Lenagan

The article reads as if the chairman has just realised where we've been lacking recently. I'm sure this isn't the case and the squad for next season does look stronger. I'm hoping that a bit more room can still be found on the cap if some of the 'fringe' players decide to go elsewhere.

Re: Which Wigan Warriors players may be departing in the off-season?

Interesting to read Lammy's remarks. I wonder if he thought recruitment was sorted until seeing us suffer in the final two games. I hope he now realises that we would benefit from another couple of singings. If we can 'move on' some of the players mentioned by other posters there would be room for a...
