Thank god there is no relegation next year if this is true.

Good luck to Jammer but we are utterly, utterly ruined without big red leading the way.

Get a grip,nobody's irreplaceable.

Mark Lawrenson's philosophy is spot on when you're faced with replacing the "irreplaceable".

If you can't find like-for-like then it's best to buy two players, who may even play in different positions.

Well, I couldn't see it in RL World so as Saddened! suggests, it must be in some Aussie mag. It's just a rumour at this stage anyway and how many of us can check up on it given that the publication is in Australia? Zero. So how do we know what the website said has even been published? We don't. It seems a bit daft to take it as read that he's going.

He was supposed to be leaving us for Wire not so long ago I believe.

I think Jammer is the exception.

Sad news if true, but good for Jammer.

KC retiring
Gids retiring
Fozz released
Maurie to RU

and now Jammer to leave. The recruitment drive for 2011 better get to work.

We will be like wigan circa 1999. One last hoorah then years of medocricy. Swings and roundabouts though. You cant be the best forever and its our turn to once again be mid tablers.

Ha ha; sorry I never realised you were so funny!

Whats so funny?

I think "doomed" is just right.
He is probably getting a bit fed up with being bashed up, playing 80 and generally carrying the team every week. On top of that he is not seeing much investement in the sqaud because we need a stadium so badly.
Still, if he goes we should at least get some sort of fee for releasing him early.

I hope we are not going to end up with a similar recent history to the goon's; glory followed by the new stadium with the squad rebuilding suffering as a consequence.

Indeed my glass is half empty!!

Putting Mark Flanagan in the same frame.
He's not yet made a name for himself and hasn't played an NRL game for Wests yet.
He might turn out to be brill and good luck to him, but it's far too early to be making those sort of comparisons.

Remind me again how many games Burgess or James Graham have played in the NRL. Ahh but they arent wiganers are they so its different

dear god.. jammer is an exceptional player, and the best prop in the country at the moment, but to say comments like "it's a good job there's no relegation" and "it could be years of the late 90s" are laughable..

nobody is irreplaceable, i admit he's not far off it, but we'll get on with it IF he goes
