It would be good to hear wigna announce the retention of some of their players who are off contract. Im sure that some of the deals have been done.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

With Saints seemingly doing excellent business for 2011, Id like to see us announce a player or two, but I know that isnt the way anymore but I trust it is all in hand.'"
Why not? |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Well as long as Slater is at the Storm, Widdop's not going to get a go at fullback. Whether Melbourne see him playing in another position is up to them, but if Widdop's got an ambition to fullback he's more than likely going to have to leave Melbourne to fulfill that ambition.

TBH I think Slater and Co maybe moving on soon anyway. Widdop's a talented player, an NRL club will snap him up should he decide to leave Melbourne. |

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

One of the better overseas signings we have made in the last few years. So I hope he stays for another year.'"
Pretty sure people wanted rid or maybe a one year deal at best for him last year. But he's come back from his injury and is putting in some great work. If he stays fit I'd like him to stay. |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

I could see Madge tempting Widdop over for a few years, give him some first team experience at the world's greatest club. Maybe with a promise to take him back to the NRL in a couple of years.

Widdop looked decent against France but that could be a bad thing as it would likely increase interest in him over here from other clubs plus other NRL clubs, I think his value has just shot up a few quid!

I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

George has been one of our best overseas signings imo. taking everything into account - money spent, effort, attitude etc he has been right up there |

Saints have signed Perry, Shenton and Richard Owen depending on his successful recovery from injury. |

Carmont has a contract that means if he plays a certain number of games this season he automatically gets a contract for next season.
The sticking point last season when contract negotiations started was he wanted two years and the club originally only offered one. Once the "1+1" deal was struck it was always likely he'd be here for 2011. When I say that I am assuming the number of games he must play to get the extra year isn't something unrealistic.

Your Spot on there DaveO
he has played most games this season so its very likely he will be here next season unless he wants to opt out
Personally i have no problem with that, Carmont is a solid addition to our squad and wont be on big money |

Just heard a strange rumour going round that we are looking at Junior Sau for next season, only heard it whilst passing so don't know the full story if there was one.

Have any of these been officially announced yet? The only place I've seen these so-called transfers are on here thus far. Not saying they aren't going to happen of course. Just not seen anything official |
