Permission to be baffled about what exactly is going on with this season's coverage.............. apart from that sneaking feeling that sometime in the near future we're all going to be paying more to watch any RL and rather more to watch the team that we support.

From a dreadful debut to being (in my opinion) the stand out player of last season, one of the great Wigan stories and he completely deserves this contract for all the hard work he has put in.
More good news from the club.

The perils of being seen as a "utility player" - reminds me of Lee Gilmour.
It's a shame that we didn't try harder to keep him - a real 100% player who will be missed. Hope we don't regret it when injuries come (as they are bound to do) next season. Wish him well at Salford.

Definition of an unlucky player with injuries. I always liked him as a player and he was key in our run to win the cup, combining really well with Harry. Hope he comes good at Salford. Classy on and off the pitch.

I hope Sam Powell does well at Warrington (heaven knows they are a basket case) and thanks for all the work he did for us. I always thought we could do better and I suspect we probably have with O'Neill & Leeming (plus other young up-and-comers) but he was always a 100% trier.

Actually, I think we may have got it right in RL. TMO makes a bad game worse and a slow game slower in the boring union. VAR in football was introduced because referees on the pitch were making too many errors so who did they put in charge of VAR? The same refs who were responsible for it having to ...

Living in the South (don't worry, I'm having treatment) selfishly, being able to see every game live would be great. I could watch every Wigan game live. However, I worry that it will lead to a decrease in numbers of people making the effort to go and watch their team live. Dedicated supporters will...

I wonder if in this brave new world, there might be a place for a revolutionary concept. Let's call it - winning matches. In this, a team enters a league - wins more matches than anyone else and does something called Winning The League. On second thoughts, it's a silly idea. I assume the Cup Final w...

Out of Season story (I hope.) He's hopeless in defence.

Does this mean that we now have: Havard, Cooper, Mago, Thompson, Byrne, Hill, Dupree, Ellis as main props with Chan, Douglas & Makin as back-ups? I'm assuming that Nsemba & Walters will be second rows along with Farrell & Shorrocks (assuming he's still here) & Isa - Smithies at LF (...
