Re: Ian Lenagan

I entirely agree with Big Steve, and would add that he also had good ideas for the direction of the game and tried to make SL more professional. Even his “mistakes” - arguably, bringing back players too readily and being too slow to move on when things were not working - spring from positive qualiti...

Re: WELCOME MR DANSON

Well with 5 gigs lined up that will certainly generate revenue. I saw Simon Moran is promoting the Richard Ashcroft gigs so I assume he is also promoting the other three. Wonder why Wigan rather than Warrington? I am going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that Richard Ashcroft may have close t...

Re: WELCOME MR DANSON

Everything that he has done so far - the new signings, the WCC played on a day that suits us, the smooth roll out of kit etc - shows a high level of investment and professionalism. It is second hand, but I met someone whose job it is to find sponsorship who told me he was working on some great deals...

Re: Ian Lenagan

I would like to start with an apology. In 2008, I was in Sydney for the World Cup and was (inadvertently on my part) mistaken for him by the owner of an NRL club - and treated very well indeed. During the evening I had the privilege of being introduced to one of my all time heroes: summoned by said ...

Re: Any more to come?

I am very excited indeed, in particular because for the first time this century we will have a running threat at 9 AND a big pack, hitting the line and making post contact metres. When we played the Roosters, KR made the point that we needed to be much bigger, but it has taken us forever to do somet...

Re: Wigan announce new Principal Partner

I am going to say they provide support in areas any developing businesses might need it, eg accounts, HR, strategic advice, IT, but that’s a complete guess.
What caught my eye was Andy Coley - it’s a different one, right?

Re: Wigan Warriors favourites to dominate 2024 season

Year 1 of life after KC and Roby for Saints. As Leeds have shown, and Man U show us in football, the period after the end of an era can be very difficult. It will be fascinating to see how they adapt - I simply don’t see their next generation as being anywhere near as good as this one, but they have...

Re: 2024 Squad numbers

I think squad numbers have been used as a reflection on what a player has achieved the season before. It will be fascinating to see how Peet goes about handing them out among the props. If we give 13 to Thompson, then I would rate the other props (if fully fit) in this order: Havard - Ellis - Dupree...
