For me....Graham Lowe.


Ask me again after the season has finished though.

Challenge cup, League leaders and Super league champions would no doubt change your mind.

I have seen the rugby we played under Lowe but I just think we are better drilled and better coached now IMO. That team had star players who played well together. Madge has a team with some players who used to be very average and has taken them to the top. Everyone knows their roles in this team, THATS why we didn't notice we were missing 4 top players on friday night.

Quote me on it if you like. South Sydney will finish top of the NRL in 2012.

The guy is so young as well. I honestly believe he could match Bennet, he is that good.

I just hope he doesn't steal our players or coaches over time though. Could the like of Tomkins, Lockers, Mossop, Leuluai, Charnley etc. turn down a big NRL deal when the cap goes up? Could Bitcon, Wane, Rads etc. turn down more money and living in the sun? I don't think all of them would turn that down.

Anyway, back to the topic, we are taking a few. 30k+ easily. It will be a great day, especially for the older generation who have waited for Wigan to return and also for the younger generation who have never seen Wigan win at Wembley. This includes myself, I was too young in 95 and we lost in 98 when I did go.

I wouldn't worry about that part of it too much. I'm pretty sure they already have good assistants, conditioners and team-managers in the NRL.

He may take a couple of players over time, but not the backroom boys. That would be like saying "Wigan have got it right and here in Aus we haven't".

Fair point.

Bitcon seems to be on the same wave length as Madge. The way Madge talks about him, it is like he shares that drive for success and a similar work ethic.

I'm pretty sure they will have similar folk at the NRL clubs anyway though you are right.

Wigan have got it right though, I know it is not as likely as some players leaving but you never know.

I want to wear the 89 away shirt but I don't want to be the only person not wearing cherry and white. Will I get told off for wearing blue and white?

YES ! and you will look a total TOOL. We are in Cherry and White, and anyone who turns up in blue, black, or any other Wigan top that is not cherry and white will get ridiculed for being stupid.

Haha yes, looks like I have been told

I see you're back on form.

Just been offered five tickets for Latics this Saturday. Wigan college have given away 100 today alone. I understand Whelan bringing kick off forward three hours but maybe he should have asked for a Sunday game.

just washed and ironed my NORWEB 95 home shirt with No.8 SKERRETT on the back.........looks nice

You won't be the only person in the 27-0 top, and you certainly won't be the only one not in cherry and white.
