Totally agree, drop the Warriors and keep it Wigan RLFC.

The table as it stands today, according to the BBC:

1 Leeds
2 St Helens
3 Hull KR
4 Huddersfield
5 Wigan
6 Wakefield
7 Catalans Dragons
8 Castleford
9 Warrington
10 Harlequins RL
11 Bradford
12 Hull
13 Salford
14 Celtic Crusaders


Apart from Catalans and Celtic, no mention of any 'tags'.
Some don't even have any now, so why do we need to keep ours?

Took the gamble on whether the Warriors tag argument was raging on or not.


I lost

Just to clear it up (in case anyone isnt sure), the name was taken from our Jnr RL side 'Wigan Warriors', after most other SL clubs adopted a catchy name. First started by Keighley Cougars in '95 (i think)?
As our club was pretty much founded by Wigan anyway, we had no choice other than to give the name away, and we became Leyland Warriors instead.

Personally, i dont mind it........But prefer Wigan RLFC for sure.

Classic Idea......Drop the Tag and two lion mascots!! Be great if the club did this for 2010. RE: the Wigan V Latics thing and what we're recognised as I think 90% of wigan (including the pathetics) refer to Wigan RL as Wigan and Wigan Athletic as Latics....always have and will do....we just need to ensure the national media does not start trying to change this with their pro soccer anti league stance. For me we should go back to simply Wigan RL. The lions mascots idea is a cracker

We have about 12 mascots already what with the Kangaroo, Koala, Pigs etc parading around before the match.

And Lions are old-school. Even Max is better than 2 Lions.
