Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Micky's just come off an off season which required a bone graft from his hip to his hand. He's also one of our most valuable players. Why burn him out early in the season? If we're going to use him for the full 80 let it be at the back end of the season when he's battle hardened, his hand has had longer to heal in a game that really counts.

In Powell on the bench we have a player who can cover the halves and dummy half; valuable incase someone gets injured or sent off.

I think people forget our players are actually human at times.'"


Completely agree with all of the above!

The title is won in October, not February. I'd rather Wane sub by the clock and keep our pack fresh for them to be fully fit and firing come the business end of the season. Bare in mind Catalans pack, Wane managed the forwards well last night and we controlled their middles. I don't think our forwards will come up against the likes of Stewart and Dave Taylor every week!

After the match last night, I'm happier than I have been about the start of our season since Madge's first year in 2010. Considering the internationals have had 1 week of training with the 1st team, we looked cohesive and considering the conditions- tried to play a bit! There wasn't much rust considering the internationals haven't played in 3 months.

After last night I am confident that we will be successful this year, a lot of teams seem to be in a transitional period whereas we have maintained that squad balance for the first time in I don't know how long!

Quote: Last Son of Wigan " I still see the reasoning and purpose in spelling McM in the first game of the season on a terrible night against a big pack on the first game of the season after a bone graft.'"


If you read the latest (wigan evening news) then it is surprising that McM played as much as he did given that he had little pre-season, only started training fully a week before the Catalan game. I suspect that we will see more of him in games going forward.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



It's not just Wigan who do it though is it? So there is obviously a reason. Just watch the tv games over the next few weeks (here and in aus) and take note.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



It will be interesting to see how it's handled if we end up reducing our interchange down to 10 or 8 in the future. The NRL are cutting down on this and it will mean forwards will be required to do longer stints.

Players like Isa, Farrell, Bateman etc will be invaluable as they play big minutes and can cover various positions.

Robot like coaching again......which Noble was slaughtered for.

We need to bring more imagination to using the interchange bench.

I know they will be using statistics they have from training and pre-season to when they get to the red line of being over worked but changing Micky Mac when he ok to carry on is just stupid.

Agreed. Was a testament to his desire and dedication to see him play.
