Hopefully McGuire will bring Brett White with him.

As regards to the Higham situation I know a bloke who used to sit next to Highams Dad at the home games and Wigan offered him a contract and a good one at that but Warrington offered more money and he said " Its my last contract I have to provide for my family".

So don't blame IL as we did offer hijm a good deal similar to what he was already on.

Not a fan of Lenegan myself to be honest, I think he has shown a distinct lack of class over the Brian Noble affair and the announcement re. the press conference straight after the game disrespects Nobby and the players - in my opinion he should have let the dust settle on last nights game.

The honeymoon period is over and what last night showed for me is that we need a player, or two who will give us that extra 10 % (i.e. a Barret and a Peacock) and not more cheap, average players, eg Roberts who made Meli look a wolrd beater last night.

I for one have not seen an improvement in the club, sponsor issues, the kit problem, no new signings, the way certain players contracts have been handled, the Noble issue and the constant public courting. Not to mention the fact that he so far had differances of opinion (shall we say) with Lydon and Noble
But whether we like it or not he is in charge of our great club and he makes the big decisions. Meaning he is accountable if these decisions dont come off.
I for one are willing to give him a chance, he does love the club being a local boy, but I do want to see an improvement in the next couple of season, we shouldn't be slapping him on the back just yet.

I must agree with that - having just watched the NRL Grand Final, it makes you realise just how poor the rugby on offer last night was

The same people who are having a go at lenegan now would still be having a go for not announcing it as soon as we are out.

Also i thought roberts had a decent game tbh![/size

For me its was the final insult from Lenegan to Noble, why not wait until Monday to announce the press conference. Lenegan knew that nobby would be getting all the press due to the performance and the way he has handled it so he took the opportunity to take the gloss off.

My opion, others may be different, is that I wasn't bothered about next years coach last night, I wanted to come to terms with what was the closest we have come to making the final in about 6 years, and I wanted my Chairman to endorse that and not play war games with Nobby.

Are you telling me that we are in a worse situation than we were before IL took over?

lets see what wednesday brings, i think he has made some errors but again i think he has learned from them.

I do hope IL does not get into a slanging match with BN, it seems like it has the potential to go that way.

I look forward to the announcement on Wednesday.

What's changed on the field since then?

2007 - 2 semi finals - 2 losses
2009 - 2 semi finals - 2 losses

Who was the person who 2 mins after the whistle announced to the world he was leaving ?

Was the IL fault also ?

Lenegan has also been lucky in so much that it is now a live salary cap and it is impossible for him to mess it up.

Is the club in a better state I am not so sure myself, I think that Lenegan is benefitting from a anyone rather than Mo and Whelan syndrome.

was thinking the same.. these clowns moan on here because IFL isnt on here every day telling them whats going on in the club, then when he gives them what they want they rip him to pieces saying he should have waited longer! honestly the guy cant win!
