Thompson is the big question mark for us no doubt, if he's fully fit it's a no brainer he improves us.
Signed for four years but if we get two out of him and then sell him back to the NRL it's great business, if he breaks down again we've done another G Burgess and I doubt very much we'll be able to get him off the books, time will tell.

They need fans in the East as the TV cameras are opposite. They need to fill the West with the hospitality boxes so if they shut two stands it would make more sense to close the North and South.

it would depend on the game being on TV or not

but the logic still remains, if we have a home cup tie, and the attendance is only forecast at 7k, then only open 2 stands

Wow. Three times more than, say, Field or French? Well that just says it all, really, doesn't it?

I'm sure Charlie Wyke signed for at least £10k a week in 2021, which probably got increased with promotion. He barely plays, as does Magennis, who is reported to be on even more than Wyke. £25k a week (or £1m a year) for two players to sit on their backsides and rarely feature - no wonder they keep going bust.

I feel sorry for Latics fans as soon as they got a bit of power with Whelan,the town was turning blue (It didnt),we own the stadium and will control what happens (they did to a certain extent),now one banner was took down and replaced by a mainly Rugby one,academy played on the pitch,Robin park is a success with the concerts and fan days etc.Rugby side of town is flying but the football is floundering and needed a Rugby guy to save them oh how I enjoyed that.
Latics fans cannot cope with the Rugby's success,to be fair Latics are a very very good pub side.
