Doesn't bother me really. Only annoys me when they're on king street acting like they own the place and being b***ends.

And is that commonplace?

I hope not.

Don't forget they a people not robots. Doesn't matter what you do work/life balance is important. They have a right to enjoy themselves like the rest of us do.

Not robots? Try telling that to Shaun wane! It's like having tick n tock from the 80s as half backs

I'm not one of those people who thinks players shouldn't have down time. Quite the opposite. They have a job to do like most of us and it's important to switch off sometimes.
However, George Williams has now posted a pic of himself on Twitter saying 'blond hair and one eyebrow for me, I'll not be late for training again'.
This is more of an issue than having a night out. After the shambolic performance against Widnes they players should not be turning in late and then broadcasting the fact! Instead of stupid hair colours etc, the club should fine the players part of their wage! They'll soon learn that way!! I'd even start to fine them for giving repeated penalties away whilst I'm at it!

I quite like the system they have to be honest. They aren't on silly money like footballers yet they are putting their bodies on the line and can have a career end at any time, often with no good backup option. As such, I'd avoid fining them wherever possible. The forfeits are probably good for team bonding at least and less likely to leave resentment.

I'm glad I'm not in a position where people I've never met get to anonymously cast judgement any time I'm late for work or go on a night out! Unless they do something grossly unprofessional leave them alone to live their lives. I'll judge them based on what they do on game day, and Williams is one of our best in that regard.

I'm always baffled that people equate life as a professional sportsman with their own.

I understand the viewpoint that people have lives to lead, etc, but if you want to be the best in your sport you have to make sacrifices.

I wonder how many of the recent Olympic medal-winners spent each weekend in their build-up to the Games as if they were just like everyone else - hitting the bars and pubs?

I'm not saying that all the Wigan players do this, by the way, but I've heard several stories about certain individuals this last weekend alone. Perhaps it's been especially painful this week because only last Thursday we blew any chance of winning the LLS in the most spectacularly inept fashion and we're bound to feel a bit sore about it. Plus, I don't blame this kind of attitude for our recent demise. I think there are lots of reasons, which the club needs to unravel.

But, as a Wigan fan - a club where we've been raised on believing that we are among the best in the game - I'm always going to be aggravated when I hear these kinds of stories.

so the blonde hair is a disciplinary thing - so that is Tomkins, Tierney and Williams in the space of 1 week/10 days?

I know. Doesn't look good.

Tierneys wasn't, it was his choice. He explained it in his post natch interview in the SS bar last Thursday.

You're telling me!
