Very difficult to give players in a large squad like Wigan enough playing time when we no longer have a reserve league and the next level is only up to eighteen.

Scrapping the Under 21's with a allowance of a number of overage players was a bad mistake and should be changed for next season.

Gelling being a classic example.

Please no.


I said a few weeks ago that it will be a Wigan/Leeds final and I'm sticking to that.

I do think it's inevitable. We have both been the best teams in the league for a good 3-4 years now. It's the final that most neutrals want.

Don't get me wrong, I think it will be awful. The thought of getting beaten by them in a final is almost too much to take. I could take getting beaten by Leeds, or even Saints (just), but to see the look on their smug faces as we leave the ground would be unbearable. On the other hand, the feeling of winning against them would be amazing!

Agree. I couldn't take the build up either. Just wouldn't enjoy it.

You're sig is out of date BTW

Under 19s picked for Friday, just the next phase of the Masterplan. Roll on 2015 when the Masterplan is to win as many games as possible! Revolutionary!
