I have no problems with him at the moment. Robinson i dont rate as a quality first choice scrum half, i am not bothered about him being released, Briscoe is good goin forward but is suspect as hell in defence, never goin to get in the team ahaed of Radlinski, could have kept him but he would have been a bit part player. Paul Johnson has not fulfilled his potential, right to let him go. Ok now for the young players he has brought through.

1. Aspinwall
2. Brown
3. Wild
4. O'loughlin
5. Sculthorpe
6. Tickle
7. Hock
8. Hansen
9. Mark Smith
10. Rob Beswick
11. Liam Colbon
11.David Allen
13. Bryn Hargreaves
14. Paul Prescot

Ok players being signed.

Wayne godwin - 23
David Vaealiki - 23

Then we have Seu Seu with plenty of rugby left in him, and Davico who is a solid performer. I dont think any of you have followed Aussie rugby that much over the last 10 years, otherwise you would know that davico is a 100% player with plenty to offer. So over all we have 15 players or more who I would class as young who have been brought through the system or have been signed for next season. We have 1 player who you lot class as an over the hill Aussie, i class as him as a decent prop forward who will not let anyone down. So compare that against the 2 players you are all moaning about, and I consider that huge percentage of young players being kept at the club.

Gossip.
As i said, the word in Warrington is that it Luke Robinson was behind the leak of Quentin Pongia to the press about his blood disorder.
There seems some logic to it also due to the very public timing of his pending release, months ahead of any other Wigan player who was on the way out.

That's exactly what Rob and Mario were saying at the time if I remember correctly...which I probably havent cause I was having a coughing fit at the time we were talking about it..anyway he's the only one that would have had any kind of grudge against Wigan. Ooooh look what you've reduced me to, gossiping with a wire fan!
...It's probably not true though, most likely just another rumour gr

bill makes a good point, we cant really complain about our board when we look at other clubs. however this isnt about other clubs its about the biggest mistake maurice has made and so i take it back, bill makes an irrelevant point! is it true that pongia will be a fitness coach of some sort at widnes next season?

I know you don't mean that.

Warrington didn't deserve to be in that semi against you. We only got there through very easy ties.
We have been very poor all season.

Nah I do mean it! Sick of hearing "yorkshire yorkshire" being sung, why would anyone be proud enough to sing yorkshire!? Dodgy north-easterners. You still beat us, just looked at the table from last year didn't realise you'd lost that many games! What you all reckonin for next year?
