* The Brigantes issue will be discussed for at least 2/3's of the season
* Someone will complain about the quality of the ale at the DW
* S Tomkins will get boo'ed at Leeds
* A new flag will be discussed
* The "I wish that drummer would pack it in" thread followed by the "Why is there no atmosphere" thread

- Willie Isa scapegoat for the season
- Other teams fans to brand Sam Tomkins signing a failure the first time he has a quiet game
- WCC shows the gulf in class between NRL and SL/NRL teams weren't taking it seriously. Delete as appropriate depending on who won.
- Whoever is 6th - 8th at the time of the split to complain about Super 8s format, 1st - 5th to be happy with it. All to claim their opinion has nothing to do with their club's position in the table.

* Stevo won't need viagra for another year if Leeds win the World Club Challenge

* Changes to the salary cap that no one is informed of and when we find out, it's discovered they are beyond the understanding of anyone at the RFL as they can't explain it.
* The LLS is derided as usual but every SL coach wants to win it to prove they are the most consistent team.

* Campaign for Wane out when we don't win our friendly games
* We will be classed as boring particularly if we grind out a win by opposing speccies. This will kick into overdrive if we crab a win against the "Entertainers"
* A debate on if our pack is too small. Hang on a minute.......
* We will be labelled thugs by Wire & Saints fans. Not sure if this will be before we play either of them but will probably be during the warm up for the Catalan game.
* Tigertit aka Kelvin Skerrett's son will find some fault indeed any fault with what we do and how we do it.
* Mugwump will tell us how it is in February then go missing unless the Entertainers are top of table. God bless you Mugwump for your balanced views and for putting me right when I thought fattie Masoe was next to useless and that he blows out of his harris after walking on the pitch.
* I will complain about the lack of quality centres at the club and in the in general
* Wakefield to be in the top 4 after a few games and Eddie n Stevo will debate if they can "maintain the momentum"

* Leeds fans will start a campaign for TT to be voted for Sports Personalty of The Year.
* Irate Saints fans will trash the KC statue after Rochdale win CC tie at the windy stadium. KC will tell us he is proud of the effort his lads put in. SL just stares at him in amazement.
* We win a couple of games on the trot and a thread starts on "Is this the best Wigan team this century?"
* We lose the next two matches and a new thread starts "Is this the worst Wigan team ever?" I'm on saying "What do you expect? We have got no centres therefore we are doomed to failure!"
* Sarcasm is banned from all forums

Itchy, I agree wholeheartedly with one of your points, but not necessarily all of them.

* Phil Clarke will come up with some stats to show how Wigan are better/worse with/without Sam Tomkins (delete as appropriate)
* There will be a minute's silence at Langtree Park, impeccably respected by the RL fans as usual
* Jon Wells and Brian Carney will compete to see who has the best suit/tie/shoes combo
* A knighthood will be bestowed on Robey or McGuire
* Daryl Clark will fail to find the form which took him to Wire, leaving Stefan Ratchford to cover for yet another under-performer
