I was a massive wane fan up until last season and have a lot of concerns about this year but I think Shaun has got enough credit in the bank to be given a chance this year in the same way McDermott did at Leeds and let’s be honest our bad season last year was nowhere near as bad as Leeds 2016.

<t>My initial reaction was dread about Powell at 7, I even tweeted Phil Wilkinson hoping he was just going to say Sam T was still expected to play half back. That wasn’t the response I got so I was fearful.<br/> However the more I’ve had time to think about it the more the word balance has come into...

<t>whilst i'm an eternal optimist where Wigan are concerned I'm not too sure where we'll finish but I think we're more than capable of being in the top 4.<br/> <br/> lest we forget the horrible injuries players suffered last year or that the likes of Sam T and others had been out for the best part o...

if it's true MM has been forced out then i'm not happy. I also find it short sighted as Tommy is not far from retirement. Why not ask Tommy to take up his coaching role early and pay him a big wage for coaching.

i don't see how we could be over the cap as it's live and any new players or contracts have to be signed off by the RFL.

Why aren’t we looking to unload Sam Powell?
Or does no one want him?

<t>He doesn’t look the biggest tbh but nowadays it seems more important to find the floor for a quick ptb than to bust tackles.<br/> The videos I’ve seen (yes I know it’s YouTube) show he’s excellent speed and footwork at the line. Half beams and quick ptbs are the order of the day these days.<br/> ...

<r><QUOTE author="Wes"><s>[quote="Wes"]</s><QUOTE author="cherry.pie"><s>[quote="cherry.pie"]</s>League Express are reporting that Wigan are trying to sign Dan Sarginson for next year.<br/> <br/> While that can come as absolutely no surprise to anyone at all, it's more than a little underwhelming is...

Agree entirely Foz
I may be on my own but I’d have been willing for him to miss a month for us if he could have played through it tomorrow. He’s earned it.

Genuinely gutted for him. I also think we had slim to no chance anyway. Slim has just left town
