Re: Owen Farrell

I'd agree with that summary pearl1 About 2 thirds of what they post is old, after the fact stuff that been reported months prior and is non-related to the story your attempting to read. The rest just unconfirmed speculation that's about as reliable as public forum for "news" The standard o...

No it isn't just you

I wasn't aware he was playing until about half way through the first half. Him and Whitehead are seriously past their best on the international stage now

Re: Seven Betfred Super League clubs awarded Grade A status

Here's a suggestion to improve our utilisation score: take 5,000 seats out. That's a "yes" from me. Take the lower rung seats out all round the stadium to reduce capacity. Should mean more sell-outs due to a more "limited" (if that's the right word) demand and also creates a bet...

Signing Adam Keighran and re-signing Willie Isa & Patrick Mago completed our overseas quote

We would have had to lose one of either French, Field, Miski or Ellis in order to keep Cust

Re: Eseh Jr

Is it true that wigan want to put there reserves in league 1? This could explain a few things Seriously can't see this getting off the Yorkshire stumbling block I know Leigh are recruiting heavily so that they can run a reserves team - maybe clubs now have to run a reserve team as part of IMG crite...

Re: Iain Thornley

Surely they've got to move a couple more on to accommodate the incomings and new contracts that's been handed out? Good luck to him though. I can't doubt that one or two more will move on Needs to be remembered that we never used Bateman's wage on a replacement when he left, so all speculation depe...

Re: Eseh Jr

Season long loan back to Wakey

Returns in a years time with Cooper, Isa and probably Mago leaving - makes sense to me that we've already recruited a replacement whilst one is available

Re: Nsemba 4 Year Deal

No transfer fee as Wakefield were relegated so all contracts were null and void. His agent was asking for a higher salary than Wigan were prepared to pay. Thank you for explaining. Well this just goes to show that shouldn’t believe everything we here . Egg on face with this one Wigan have just anno...

Re: Morgan Smithies set for NRL move as Wigan Warriors forward heads down under

After Sam Powell's recent comments that he'd like to continue playing for a team closer than those in Yorkshire, I'm thinking a possible move to either Leigh or Salford is likely once his testimonial year is complete He's the Richard Whiting of Wigan now, too slow to be a quality back and too small ...
