Exactly! It really is that simple. And no-one is blaming them, as some are suggesting.

that's silly and you really don't know that. players get injured in training, it happens, it's a contact sport

Christ, that's the most sensible thing you've said on here.

I don't think we'll be seeing 40-50+ point scorelines next year as the losses of Tommy, Carmont, Finch and Lima are going to be huge. Next year may well be the dreaded "transition year" while new players bed in and younger players get more experience. Who knows, we might finish 5th and win the league!

Nah, Leeds well and truly have their eye on that spot. Again.

I agree with this, Wigan's "transition year" with losing these class players is going to come a year before ours so next year might be our best chance of winning SL in the foreseeable future. 2013 Year of the Wolfs, bring it on.
