Under Madge we had (for his first season) one player different, Deacon, than under Noble and we looked like a different team. Went from boring to sensational overnight. The attack particularly in the last 20m or 30m was a joy to watch with dummy runners and depth to it. We see none of this now whether we have injuries or not.

The first thing Madge did was put them all on an equal pegging

everyone had to earn their place

Under noble there were rumours of players being let off training and the team sheet being a carbon copy regardless of performance. I dont think we are there yet but certainly Wane has his favourites

I am on the understanding some Wigan players were actually back sampling the Wigan nightlife Saturday night after the Catalans game. Must have used a private jet - but if anyone corroborates this then make your own mind up...............

The biggest Room is the Room for improvement.

The best form of defence is attack!!

Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!

Madge would make these players exciting in attack and the first thing he would do is to buy 2 genuine props not pumped up second rowers. Warrington made us play in our own half and our halfbacks cannot play going backwards mmmmm :conf:

Madgeball is even more boring than Waneball, Monieball was the best
