Re: New captain

Anyone heard any news about a new skipper? Surely we hear something soon? They should wait until after pre-season so they can see who steps up and starts to fill the void of Lockers. And then combine that with how they conduct themselves on the field. We can probably guess its between Powell, Farre...

Wasn't agreed before he signed for Canberra? sure I read it on here
Interview he did recently would suggest otherwise.

Re: Overseas players

Looks like they will have to go into a government approved hotel for 10 days when arriving back. I think that only refers to those 22 named countries that you have to quarantine from, Australia (and NZ) shouldn't apply due to their rates being the lowest in the world. Shouldn't be a problem for Fre...

Re: Bid for the ground

I doubt Wigan Council would ever grant permission to build another stadia when we have one. As soul-less as it is, if we buy and modify it, we could finally call it home. Fill in the corners would be my hope. As in spend money to add capacity to the 25k limit despite our averages being around 10k?

Re: New Prop

Everything seems to have gone quiet. We have our smaller squad and....... nothing. I wonder how much the probability of another shortened season is influencing the decision makers. Perhaps with fewer games we may be able to compete on the basis of fewer games = fewer injuries. We could be up agains...

Re: Overseas players

And you know this how? Pre season vs training on your own in Australia? It isn’t even up for debate. If it was, why even bother with pre season? Why even train at all. So how do you know the club hasn't set them a pre season training schedule to follow while down under in the glorious covid free we...

Re: Overseas players

They're better off over there for training right now I'd think. No lockdown in Aus once you're in. Better training on there own vs pre season with the team? I think not. Less likely to catch Covid but what they will be doing in Aus won’t get close to what pre season training does. And you know this...
