Re: Wigan vs Penrith

Very much enjoying revelling in the bitterness of other club's fans this morning. You forget how much everyone else hates us and are terrified that another era of dominance is beginning. People can't even decide what to moan about. Last night I kept reading that Wardle had grounded the ball well sho...

Re: Wigan vs Penrith

A truly magnificent performance from the team. Every player who wore the Cherry and White should be proud of the way they turned up and faced down what Penrith threw at us. We may be missing a few more in the pack for our next game though. Brutal. As ever, when Wigan have won a big game all opposing...

Bill Francis

Bill Francis , one of Wigan's greats, passed away yesterday at the age of 76. He played 400 games for the club between 1964 and 1977 scoring 159 tries. He won the Lancashire Cup twice, the League Leader's Trophy, the BBC2 Floodlit Trophy and was unfortunate to lose twice at Wembley. In the 1968-69 s...

Re: Site updated

I do wish they'd do proper player profiles. Height, weight, place of birth, games played, tries scored etc. This is what player bios should be for, this is why someone would click on one surely, not to check out whether Bevan French has electric pace and dancing feet

Re: Garry Schofield Column; my prediction for Wigan Warriors Super League 2024

Wow. Even Garry thinks we’re the best team.
When he says he didn’t like everything we did in the 90s, I assume he means stopping him winning any trophies whatsoever

Re: New players

Sport wide problem. Club websites are never updated across the competition. The NRL team sites are all the same template so if you see a player you want to know more about you click on the team site and can read a detailed profile of them. Here, both the club and Super League website are useless. Pl...

Re: Owen Farrell

Heard a rumour last week that he had been discussing a possible short term stint with us at the end of the Saracens season. Maybe he is exploring all options? If it comes down to a choice between Wigan or Paris it is surely a no brainer.... :D

Re: Owen Farrell

Farrell quoted in today's Times talking about committing to another World Cup cycle in Rugby Union. He doesn't 100% explicitly say that but it sounds very much like a man who is not planning to jump ship to another code any time soon. Think we can firmly put this one to bed once and for all.

Re: Owen Farrell

It seems like Owen Farrell is to be the Sarries marquee player and Itoje is off so it looks like this rumour is dead. Oh well. I would love us (and all Super League clubs) to be making use of the rugby union market. There is a lot of talent there and we should be able to offer a viable career option...

Re: Owen Farrell

Agreed. This story looks very much like an agent ploy to alert RU clubs and England
