There are a lot of players who leave Wigan, and very few of them go on to have better careers than if they had stayed. I wonder if Gildart had his time again, for instance, or Budgie, or Josh… Thompson is an absolute beast of a player, and if we see him as a 13, then I can’t wait to see it happen.

If the World Club Championship doesn't happen, I would not be sorry. It's just a shop window for Australian clubs to have a closer look at our players.
Sadly you're not wrong at all Dave I feel the same way

Good player Smithies, solid. But if we get a fit and firing Thompson at Loose, I won’t be too fussed with Morgan leaving.

Good luck to him, sure he will go well.

We must have strong ties with the raiders that’s 4 players they’ve had of us now. Bateman, Williams, Rushton and Smithies
Ryan Sutton too!
Forgot about Sutton too! That’s 5 players the raiders have had probably in about the last 5 years!

And all of them moved on well before their deals were up didn't they?
