good luck stuart raper.... all the other posts pretty much cover it..

the win`s over saints were paticularly nice this year!!
u`ll be missed mate..

Stuart,
Thanks for the memories. We've had ups and downs but the ups - the wins over saints, the challenge cup final, the win at Odsal - are the ones we'll remember you for. Good luck to you and your family. I only wish the fans had had the chance to say goodbye, that's one of the sad things about this episode.

all the best stuart and i hope you continue with your successful career as a coach..its sad to see you go as im sure most of the fans are not happy with you being sacked it puts such a dampner on you leaving wish we could have got the grand final win for you mate..good luck and safe journey back to aus for you and your family...

I am still gutted several days after Raper being sacked. I think it's about time Dave Whelan learned his lesson and stuck to selling stuff on his little market stall (everyone knows that boring story he always tells us)and that the board paid some attention to the fans.
It makes me wonder sometimes if the board get rid of people like Raper because they are so popular and they don't want unrest in the ranks! So they sack people off, keep the fans in their place and have no period of consistencey. I know, a very Big Brother like theory....but I hate the Wigan board at the moment!

I'm sick as a busted wellie - not a particularly well known Australian phrase but you get the picture. As with all the others I can't thank you enough for the Challenge Cup victory and your young guns shooting the Saints and Bradford down - just wonderful. Of all the Wigan rugby tapes I keep playing the Good Friday one time and again and I just can't stop the grin spreading across my face every time I see that game. I wasn't in my normal place that day and ended up among a load of Saints supporters who were flamin' unbearable in the first half but oh how I did enjoy the last 40!
Good luck and best wishes for the future.
