No, it’s not the opposite at all. I am happy to be a happy clapper the majority of the time, and for others to share the joy that our team has often brought.Caboosegg wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:03 amIsn't it the opposite of that.

In answer to the OP’s question, I have seen nothing in any news reports since Peet saying that he and Hardaker may not be available at the start of the season.
Just remember the key points
Everything’s great
Wigan and the best
Must not mention hookers unless to praise
Wigan coaches are never wrong
Anything outside of that might be met with discord
Wigan win a game the forums dead
Wigan lose a game, 5 page long thread and multiple topics about each player and how bad everything is.
When I have concerns, I am happy to share them and support them with reasons. And am happy to hear counter arguments. I happen to think, just at the moment, that we have considerable reasons to doubt that we are going to be entertained this year, in part because of the position we are in with French - where, honestly, I would have suggested he stay in Oz and find a club over there last year when his situation became apparent - but for other reasons, including years of Waneball and constant references to the “Wigan way”, and “hard to beat culture” as opposed to entertaining us.
That isn’t miserable for miserable sake, it is a fair position based on who are likely to have the ball in their hands most often, the evidence of last season and many years of Waneball.
Back to this thread, I think it is very fair for someone to ask what is happening with French, as I simply can’t recall another example of us giving someone indefinite leave of absence because of a family illness.
