Re: Another Wigan duo head to Championship on loan

All this loanining out tells me we must be bringing another player in surely? I doubt it. It's a month until the reserves have their first fixture so why not send several players on a months loan rather than have them kicking their heels. We did the same thing last year, possibly at the start of th...

Re: Wigan v Salford friendly

It was a good game overall. We dominated early on and deserved to be ahead but I thought when we made changes our performance dropped. I thought we were noticeably better with Cooper, Havard and Smithies in the middle than when Mago, Singleton and Ellis came on. I was pleased with how comfortable we...

Re: Wigan squad for Barrow

A very competitive game again. Barrow just too strong on the edges and smarter with how they moved the ball. They also dealt far better with the wind against them in the first half than we did in the second. Our backs were just a bit too lightweight to make ground when we were pinned in our own half...

Re: New Prop

i agree with you there with cooper and i thought he was good last season but IMO we need someone else like a Jared Waerea-Hargreaves or a Josh Papalii someone who strikes the fear into defenders like big Iafeta Paleaaesina All those players you mention are foreign. All our foreign players are contr...

Re: Rocky

Probably not surprising that this signing has divided opinion. It seems to tick the boxes of shrewd signing and nepotism so take your pick which side of the fence you're on. On the one hand, I seriously doubt we'd be interested in a player like Hampshire had he not previously been at the club and p...

Re: Whitehaven v Wigan - this weekend!

It was a really strong performance against a Championship side. The first half was a bit of a grind and it looked like Haven would be too strong for us unless things opened up and we could get the left edge into the game more. Harvie Hill was outstanding and must be pushing for an opportunity when t...

Re: Batemans's departure confirmed

Why play someone out of position when they should be playing their original position in the first place Our current hooker started off as a half back and look how thats turned out - oh yeh - I now see what you mean :) Too small for loose forward for me. I don't think size is an issue. Brad's about ...

Re: Batemans's departure confirmed

Bringing Bateman back was always one of those decisions that made perfect sense in isolation but became much more dubious when you consider our past record with bringing back former players. He's one of the best back row forwards in the world at his best, but his situation has parallels with Sam Tom...

Re: England Vs Samoa

I think Shaun Wane got some things wrong in this tournament but ultimately a lot of the blame has to fall on the players for today's performances. Why wouldn't Wane stick with that side when they've performed pretty well up to that point. They'd shown what they were capable of and then didn't delive...
