Knowing what I know now I feel as we are going into this season in a good shape...

I went to the friendly at leigh and was impressed by our performance (yes I know it was a friendly)

I cant see us having a season like last year again in a long time..
I think tommy will have a great spell back at hooker where he prefers to play and plays internationally, mixed with some of the hits he puts in should be class. Il be honest Micky went off the boil a long time ago.

I think we will pick up silverware this year cause lets face it they owe it to us fans for some of the tripe rugby we sat through last year..

cant wait for it all to kick off....roll on friday and see you all there!!!!

I’m as big a Micky Man fan as there is and I’m sad to see him go but he didn’t have a good time of it last year when he returned and you can’t help but feel we’ll be a little more dynamic with Leuluai and Powell in there.

I must say I’ve never heard Micky Mac get as much praise in the press and from opposition fans as I have since he left Wigan. I used to hear he was an average thug, yet now I’m hearing he’s the heartbeat of the Wigan team, a fabulous player and that his loss will see us in 6th or 7th position.

It’s funny what a move away from Wigan can do for you!

Thanks for clearing that up.... I was uncertain where you stood on the question of Wanes ability..

Definitely seems to be the case. I have always loved what he gives in a game, but seeing him in the world cup makes me believe he was playing under instruction as he looked great having freedom

Probably right. Our tactic last year seemed to be get it off the floor to Williams as quickly as possible and then let him dance around for a bit until he gets tackled. Either that or a completely telegraphed Leuluai inside pass to Bateman.

I’m sure there’s an element of playing to instruction at Wigan to it. I also think the quality of some of the opposition in the World Cup played a part.

He’s a top player for sure but as somebody who banged the drum for years against opposition fans in regards to his quality, I find it amusing they only agree now that they feel his exit may weaken us.

Totally agree. Hate when peopels Wigan hatred is unjustified and stupid
