Schofield writes in the Sunday edition of the Daily Star, but I don't think he has any input into the news bits. The fact that the DS is owned by Express Newspapers is significant, the Express has had a pretty good handle on rumours relating to Wigan over the last couple of years....

I like reading the express its for people who like to think they're intellectual but like to watch soaps. Imagine an article about Big Brother or Coronation Street written as part of a creative writing A-Level and you get the idea.

That bloke is a right Helmet.

The day we see Cooper and Mathers at Wigan this year will be the day we will win Super League.

i used go school with his son so dont think he'd be to happy if i did that to his dad!

saying that he's been more or less spot on with what he said about transfers in the off season. only time will tell if we get cooper/mathers

Very good!

BTW if we get Cooper and Mathers, Cooper will be earning £139,999 a season and Mathers a quid a season.

You never know IL might offer then £70K a piece and defer a few grand until 2009

Cooper seems a big bloke, whats he like for pace. Has the Jason Ryles rumour passed by with any positives or negatives.

I still feel the making public that we had 140 thousand left was some sort of a red herring. Signings would have been made last season regardless of owners.

The announcments will be made of players when we get around Dec 1 as to make the new owners look good.

Hope you are right but if there are signings on 1st Dec that surprise us given we have been told we have only £140K cap space what was the point in telling us we only had £140K cap space?

If we sign Copper and Mathers after being told that, it will be back to square one in that every man and his dog will be saying we are breaking the cap or that IL was lieing when he said we only had £140K available.

So either we are accused of breaking the cap or IL doesn't say what he means. No different than the current regime so I can't see it myself as IL wants to be different.
