Re: Worst Wigan team since late 70s and 2005

I don't think we are as bad as we where in the seventies, the drop from last season is very worrying, but injuries and playing so many games against fresher teams has not helped. But the way Jackson Hastings is trying to do everything does remind of the seventies when Bill Ashurst used to carry us. ...

Re: A brief history of The Derby

Some interesting facts in the article Josie, I was at the match when Green Vigo scored the seven tries. He was a very good winger, but neglected the fitness side of his game. But to be honest he was not on his own in that era when it was a part time sport. Still enjoyed watching many a game back then!

Re: Referee for Friday

I have always had my suspicions about Phil Bentham, when Michael Maguire took over in 2010 we lost

seven games all season. Phil Bentham was the referee for five of those games. Since then I have always

hated him reffing us.

Re: Signings

We are adding some much needed size to our Front Row, they are coming at the right time age wise. No disrespect to Tony Clubb but he is 34 and has been through a lot physically; they must be a step in the right direction. Joe Bullock looks like he will be leaving at the end of the season also. They ...

Re: Squad v Huddersfield

Would like to see Umlyla Hanley given a go at Full back so Jackson Hastings can revert back to Half back. But if AL insists on playing Jackson at Full back I would put Umlyla on the wing and put Jake back to centre. Would give Tommy Leuluai a rest, looks like he needs one and play Harry Smith with J...

Re: French stays

If our pack could get us on the front foot more often, and with Hastings pulling the strings. French and Field
would cause havoc.

Sadly with the injuries and Hastings leaving at the end of the season we probably wont see them all playing together.

Re: Squad for Wednesday

How must Hanley feel when AL is trying everyone but him at Full back. Put him in the position he has played all his academy career. Putting Liam Marshall at a new position after being out so long seems ridiculous to me. He looked rusty on the wing in his first game back, and understandably so after ...

Re: Dom Manfredi

To Dom, so sorry you have had to retire at what would have been your peak playing years. You have tried so hard on numerous occasions to come back from all the knee injuries. You have shown great physical and mental strength to last so long fighting against the odds. You should walk away with your h...

Re: Rads

Very worrying times at the moment. The lack of transparency on just what is going on makes it even worse.

Fans deserve to be kept in the picture. Everyone wonders just what the hierarchy of the club have got planned?

Has this apparent apathy filtered down to the team?
