Re: Site updated

I'll happily wait and see if it improves but at the moment, we get faster and better news about the team and injuries via Josie (many thanks to our star lady) on this forum. Hope there's going to be a 'button' to access Joe Mills & Bilko - don't care if all matches are on TV - I'll still listen ...

Re: SuperLeague+ Launched

Sorry to sound a bit daft. I’m a sky sports subscriber. Will I still be able to watch every game on sky sports? As far as I'm aware all matches will be broadcast live on Sky. I thought only the first 15 rounds of this season would be all live on SKY and thereafter, two matches will be on SKY each w...

Re: Super League streaming platform launch date and name confirmed as new era arrives

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.

Re: Abbas Miski - New 4 Year Contract

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.

Re: Shorrocks leaves 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.

Re: Cade Cust confirms Wigan Warriors departure: 'I've enjoyed every moment'

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.

Re: Sam Powell Has Left The Club

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.

Re: Video Refs

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 ...

Re: Seven Betfred Super League clubs awarded Grade A status

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...

Re: Seven Betfred Super League clubs awarded Grade A status

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...
