<t>Just two days later from the MEN story we know Ben Flower is contracted for a further two years and Blake Green is someway down the road with negotiations for a new contract at Wigan where he wants to stay and the club want him to stay.<br/> <br/> If this was "leaked" by Salford to unsettle the p...

<t>This maybe the start of a new era in terms of clubs looking at their chances of attaining SL status and remaining there.<br/> <br/> Crowds are their main problem but I'd imagine they look at averaging 5500 - 6000 a home game if they were in SL. <br/> This just makes me think if they are looking a...

<t>Wane sees Hampshire as a full back for now and a reserve for Bowen. Not a stand off at present.<br/> If Green where to leave our experience in mid field is diminished. I can understand Waney wanting to keep him and it's good news that he's well down the track with contract discussions. <br/> Hamp...

<t>There's only 18 Wigan players named in that squad list, Dom Crosby being ommitted, he is in the squad.<br/> That means SW has named six props in the 19. <br/> I do hope he doesn't go with Clubb at 13 again as I think he is very powerful playing prop. We need to win the front row battle if we are ...

<t>Do the RFL not realise the utter contempt Rugby League people in this country have for them?<br/> If Pearson and Hudgell made the greatest effort to bring the game into disrepute they couldn't do half as good a job that the RFL do themselves! <br/> <br/> No wonder SL club's chairmen want a detach...

<t>In the press conf for the Leeds game Waney said Flower had two years left on his contract and wasn't going anywhere.<br/> <br/> Blake Green is ooc end of this year as we know but with Powell, Williams and Hampshire to accomodate then his departure may well ease salary pressure to give these young...

<t>Clubb is better in the front row, where he played for London. Although he played loose last Friday the stats show him making 47 tackles, that really is putting a shift in. He doesn't look slow and cumbersome to me. He was the only one who could put Peacock down in a one on one tackle and that's n...

At lest week's presser for the Leeds game Waney said that Flower had two years left on his contract, that he was buzzing and not going anywhere.
Green is ooc end of this year as we know but whether he stays or departs may well depend on the offers he is made.

<t>After the loss at Leeds I think Waney will bring in changes for the Hull game.<br/> Wouldn't surprise me if he brought in Manfredi to play right wing with Gelling going left centre. <br/> He's got to play Powell soon so may go with him as interchage and Williams going to 7 giving Smithy a rest.<b...

<t>Leeds are a lot, lot fitter than previous seasons.<br/> They used to fade in the last 10 mins of a half but not this year. They go the 80 and are up and down for the ptb very quickly.<br/> <br/> If we are to beat them then we will have to put out our best front row plus Lockers at loose. The best...
