What is 1/2m?

I'd imagine 1/2m is £500,000.

God damn it what is wrong with this club and players not honouring contracts?

So it goes on the rats are jumping ship where has the loyalty gone.All down to agents scum

He's seen Bateman's insta vids training on the beach and he wants some of the action. Gildart will be next for sure.

Whilst I think the time is right for him to go, I only believe that because of the mess the club has got itself in to over a sustained period of time, which now means the players call the shots and decide when they’re going to leave. His head isn’t in it and realistically it looks like they’d have been better letting him go last year.

Major major change is needed at the club. As things stand we’re on our way to being a club that scraps between mid table and relegation because you can’t let your best players leave and not replace them. Ask me who Wigan’s overall best players were this time last year and I’d have said Sam Tomkins, Bateman, Williams and O’Loughlin. The chances are that in 2020 we will not have a single one left.

I’m usually a generally positive sole on here but I must admit I’m so frustrated with how things have been done recently. It’s simply not good enough for Wigan rugby league club.

The amount of players Wigan lose year in year out is ridiculous. Players go and are not replaced with the same level of quality.

Do I expect Wigan to go out and get a Top quality half back to replace Williams? Not really, they will likely do it on the cheap. It's not good enough.

Sadly that's exactly how I feel.

Yep, me too. I’m usually very positive about the club but I’m now starting to get very concerned about the way we’re headed. I’ve been a fan of promoting youth and we’ve been successful in doing so. However, those young players need to be surrounded by top quality, proven players. Once Lockers calls it a day, I fear the worst. We need a major injection of quality and we need it soon.
I still believe Edwards will come and this could be the blank canvas he needs to start from scratch. With the money we won’t be spending on Williams, O’Loughlin and Leuluai, added to the anticipated release of Tautai and hopefully a few others (Powell, Clubb) then the new coach, with a decent injection of cash we could have a real shake up and a new look squad from 2020.

I agree but....lets get through 2019 first. I do think that either Leneghan and/or Radlinski need to come out with a statement of intent or something. The mood around the club at the moment is as low as its ever been.
