On sunday we where losing untill late on and where very lucky not to lose ! And I can see us struggling against the Broncos at the weekend.
we need some positive action from the Management, otherwise our crowds will continue to be demoralised and dwindle even more.
We are awakening to the fact that we are no longer in the top 4 in Super League, NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
We have all kept quiet long enough.

The policung saga is literally nothing to do with Wigan RL as we don't employ police at the ground.
Singing players. Saints could sign Anderson because Michael Smith left. They had a slot on their 20/20 and space under the salary cap. They would not have been able to do it had Smith not left.
With Farrell still a Wigan player Wigan can't sign a replacement. I am sure that is why Whelan has set the deadline.

Re: We have all kept quiet...
Dave, I was making the point that wigan have two players on at least 250,000 out of a budget of 1.8 million, and that the times when wigan could just go out and buy players straight away have gone due to the salary cap restrictions...
Re: We have all kept quiet...
If its "singing players" you want Dave O how about a revenge raid on some of my countrymen? Now Welsh caps are harder to come by than they used to be, I'm sure there'll be a few ready to come "oop north". Is Paul Anderson in fact 'Angry' Anderson then?
Re: We have all kept quiet...
What i saw on Sat (Tsunami aid match) sign Bombo he was incredible the best and most exciting union player ive seen since Tuigamalla. Big enough for secon row with the pace of a winger.DaiJones posted:

Obviously we wont but we need cover now and im sorry to say if Faz is going he needs to be gone asap. Hopefully we will get quality in either second row or centre or stand off.
Re: We have all kept quiet...
Is this really true? Who are these two players? Given that's almost £100k/year more than Farrell's salary then perhaps that might explain his willingness to look at other alternatives. If an international captain, Man of Steel etc etc is paid so much less than some of his teammates then I can understand a bit of tension within the club.TomThumb posted:

We've released a player and brought one in. To bring in new players we have to release others. I'm getting bored of this, but who are you going to release to bring in these new players? And who are the new players you're going to bring in? Other clubs are also releasing players to bring in new ones, no-one's doing anything different.St Helens seem to be able to obtain new players, as do Leeds, Bradford, Hull etc (even Leigh).
What dwindling crowds? Season ticket sales continue to increaase, the South Stand has been made ticket-only due to high demand. I can't see any evidence of the fans deserting the club.we need some positive action from the Management, otherwise our crowds will continue to be demoralised and dwindle even more.
Evidence please. We finished 4th last season. That is a fact. Therefore we are in the top 4 in Super League. Ok, that isn't good enough, but your exaggerations are getting ridiculous.We are awakening to the fact that we are no longer in the top 4 in Super League, NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
