Why would he come here?? Let him go or stay at Saints, he hates Wigan Warriors!!
He has stated he prefers Latics to us!
Jack Welsby grew up in Wigan, his dad and grandad are Warriors fans and he is a regular at the DW Stadium to watch his beloved Latics...

Some Latics fans hate Wigan rugby so much, they actively support our greatest rivals.
Strange but as long as it makes them happy

[*]yes I was once pelted by rubbish thrown by Latics fans as I was leaving the ground. Like you say "it takes all sorts" D
Re: St Helens star Lewis Dodd signs with leading NRL agent after World Club Challenge exploits
One thing I have never took notice of, The Rugby and Latics rivalry. Totally nothing to do with each other. Different Sports. The football team I follow are not rivals with them, Well apart from when they play each other.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

Hey, us too! Going to a grand final, our coaches were leaving from think it was car 3, anyway the road that goes out passed B&Q. The coaches were all lined up there.archiekeith wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:01 am [*]yes I was once pelted by rubbish thrown by Latics fans as I was leaving the ground.

Latics were at home & we had to walk pass the south stand to go over the bridge, we were abused, spat at & drink thrown at us, at least I hoped it was drink!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: St Helens star Lewis Dodd signs with leading NRL agent after World Club Challenge exploits
it's daft. Rochdale football and Hornets don't get on. That has got worse actually. Rest of the other Town and Cities with both sports seem to want each other to do well.josie andrews wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 11:59 amHey, us too!
