Hope everybody had a great Xmas in their own way.
I was made up with my "50 Wigan Legends" book. Looks like a good read.

Wishing everybody a healthy and prosperous 2024.

Looking forward to Wigan going from strength to strength and all-conquering, starting with the Panthers!

Pardon my ignorance: I am right in thinking Ian Lenagan finishes end of November?

Is there anything planned to give a big 'Thank you' send-off?

Superb performance and a wonderful night which cheered me up no end after Wales's exit from the other code's World Cup. It was a hugely professional performance that has clearly got the rest of the league worried and resorting to saying the standard of the league "is terrible" or that rug...

I'm old enough to remember his Dad, the great Gus Risman! His other son John, wasn't too bad either!

By coincidence I'm re-reading 'Simply the Best'.

The bit about Mission Impossible is incredible.
After the 1991 Cup semi-final they played EIGHT matches in 18 days!! Nearly a match every other day. AND they only dropped 1 point!!
"Simply the best" is an understatement!!

6th August 1934, William John Boston entered this world.

Just 8 years younger than Billy I saw him play at his best.

All the best Billy and I hope you reach 100! (and I'm still around to see it!)

I have always been passionately anti-union, and have only ever seen 2 games: Bath v Wigan and a match at Morley RU (Morley v Rosslyn Park) which I left before half time, bored rigid. However, even I had some admiration for the Barth players who played in those games. (Guscott bottled it, saying it ...
