Quote: Dirty Pretty Thing "If the attitude of the players is a problem then surely there is something wrong with Wigan's recruitment?'"


Perhaps, perhaps not.

Losing games they ought to win could be as a result of any number of things rather than solely recruitment.

[b]ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS MARCHING ONTO WAR "support our boys overseas"[/b]:icons077e_files/5446-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: tvoc "I'm a big admirer of Gary Hetherington, always have been. From his wholehearted efforts as a player, to his formation of a player's union and starting a club from nothing in South Yorkshire while selling double glazing and running fund raising marathons to make signings. But at times I think he acts as if he is still the Chairman at the Eagles rather than running what should be the biggest club in the ESL.'"


Are Wigan not the biggest club in the whole Universe??

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: tvoc "Hetherington's job is (or should be) to maximise the clubs potential and that includes on the field. Ultimately he will be judged on results not whether the club made a huge profit.'"


Agreed the two are linked you will not make a profit in RL without a winning side - simple - your revenue streams are driven by success on the field - no one wants to entertain serious clients to second class entertainment - winning on the field is everything - the rest will spin off that - sort that out and you will have a successful business - especially that given the salary cap - the marginal cost of winning is zero.

According to Titchy Tinyrod - 9 out of 10 Aussies say their NRL players prefer Wigan to any other Championship winning teams. icon_rolleyes.gif

Richards is very Irish. He only played all his rugby in australia because he was brought up there by mistake.

not necessarily. Take 1 player out of a team and putting him another and his performances could be on another level. Good team management and club mentality have an impact. Fielden for example...

Trent Barrett was contracted to Wigan for this season and where will he be playing on Wednesday night?

Thomas Leuluai (while perhaps not World Class) is a current World Champion.

And Tim Smith was tearing up the NRL before his drink problems. He was hardly a reject because of playing talent.

Ryan Bailey (11/11/83) - The Most Feared Man In Super League The Most Feared Man In Super League (TMFMISL) * Coined by thebloodbath * Inspired by Bailey *:39092.jpg



Thought Lee Smith did a very good Brad Godden impression when carrying the ball up against Quins.

Scrappy kind of charges. Alot stonger then he looks. i know this, but sometimes he surprises me when he bounches off bigger players, re-foots himself and sets off again.

Strong and direct in a similar way to Godden when he needed to drive it up.

Same here, I commented on saturday and have always thought that he has excellent upper body strength for his stature.
