| First Hardaker, then the academy player (his name eludes me!), Hamlin with a failed drugs test and now TT? Throw in the Edwards debacle and the poor season we’re having and it all points to a complete and utter breakdown of discipline within the club.
I can’t for certain say it’s all due to SW’s departure, we’d be kidding ourselves if we said there weren’t issues during his tenure (the rectum ‘scandal’ for example) but these controversies just seem to keep rolling every month and it’s hard not to say that SW leaving has a huge role to play in it, after all he WAS the culture at Wigan. And I’m saying that as a leading “W-Exiteer”; I’ll happily admit I, and a few others, were short sighted perhaps in seeing the rugby on the pitch only and ignoring the professionally driven culture behind the scenes.
I’ve been saying this for a while but the whole club needs a complete revamp, top to bottom - and that includes Mr Lenaghan and somewhat regrettably, Kris Radlinski. The players, coaching staff and club officials need revamping, refreshing, and improving. That requires a lot of investment and frustratingly time.
I can’t recall a Warrington or Saints scandal in recent times (happy to be corrected) and that is indicative of where they stand in the league and cup. A few years ago we were the club everyone else aspired to be, successful on the pitch and off it market leaders in some respects. Now we’re a laughing stock, a prime example of what mis-management, poor recruitment and indiscipline on and off the field gets you. It’s sad and disappointing to see, we can of course bounce back but Mr Chairman needs to dip his hands into his pockets and if he isn’t willing to do so - sell up.

No, he made a dumb decision to do this years ago and got caught. To get caught again is someone moronic and not thinking of his family. I wonder how many times he did drink and drive prior to his 2nd conviction withought being caught.

I tend to agree, there isn’t a great deal of sympathy from me either.

| I’m pretty sure nobody would ever condone his behaviour the first time or the second. It was stupid and shows little concern for the safety of other people.
However, when it’s stripped back, he’s a bloke with a family whose life has been turned upside down. His children know nothing different than life in England and a father who plays rugby league as his job. That has all gone now and the human in me feels for the whole family. I spoke with him on Friday and he was clearly devastated yet still found the time to chat and have his picture with my son.
I really do wish him and his family well, whatever the future holds for them.

| He's a good bloke with a kind heart. He's made some bad decisions (haven't we all) and it hasn't seemed like he's been completely focused on his rugby so I hope things are Ok in his personal life. If not, hope they improve. Best of luck to him.
