Peculiar Yorkshire thing that. Loyalty to their county transcends local rivalry whearas fans of the big North West clubs like Wigan/Saints/Wire revel in anyone doing a number on one of their local Derby rivals, regardless of where the opposition comes from.

The thing is WWW you don't really want to be getting into that game do you? Because your squad isn't full of Wigan and Saints rejects at all is it? (How is Gary Wheeler doing these days?)

Why are you saying this like anyone would try to back Wheeler up? ALL Wire fans know he's crap and done naff all for us. But you lot now he's signed will be bigging Isa up haha. Probably like how you all for some reason pretend that Lee Mossop is anything close to being adequate let alone good.

Wigan only need to tinker with the squad, such is the strength in depth. Wire require a mass clearout which they have started. This allows us to take the odd gamble with certain players if they fit the bill and the price is right.

Next years overseas players: Isa, Gelling & Tautai.
Sam Tomkins in, Bowen out.

Our youth will be another year older and wiser, with the next generation (newly crowned Academy Grand Final Winners) knocking on the first team door.

I don't think we need to worry.

With regards to your comments on Lee Mossop, you know what? I half expected his shoulder to pack in early-mid season and that be it for him - career over! Early to mid season it's been obvious that he's been holding something back, all the fans could see that.

He's admitted only two weeks ago

I tell you what this last month he has been much improved, not the finished article by any means but slowly getting back to his 2012 form*. Another good pre-season will stand him in good stead to rip into it next year.


*Touch wood he doesn't damage his shoulder in the semi/final now I've mentioned it!

Can you point to anybody bigging him up?..We are sceptical, but willing to give a chance.... Sorry to not pander to your perceived stereotype....
