Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg



Class act... Seems to be able to make opposition defences look slow with the speed of his thought. Glad he got over his injury, for him mainly, but also for us.

No brainer!! Get him signed!!

The club may have had talks with Dureau and Matty Smith? Dureau yes, Matty Smith though? Good grief!
Re-signing Finch is a no brainer. He's a class act and always has been.
Just the type of player we need to help whoever replaces TL.

There should be enough on the salary cap with TL departing as well as Carmont, maybe Roberts and it's worrying that there's still no sign of Stu Fielden. The more time goes on without him playing the less likely I think are his chances of a new contract in 2013.
Even with paying increment increases there should be money available for Finch on an improved deal and maybe one signing.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



Heard that Fielden will retire at the end of the season or sooner

As much as I'd love Dureau at Wigan, I just can't see it happening. Not really Lenegan's style and Dureau seems to be enjoying France. If we do get him and he's alongside finch for next year......wow

We need to prioritise finch over dureau. He's really leading us around the park and make the opposition wonder what he's gonna do. Gotta keep him and lockers no matter what!!

Wigan should have some cash splashing around for re-signings and new signings if guys like Roberts, Carmont and Fielden follow Leuluai out of the door.

Get Finch tied up

Get Dureau signed

Get Larne Patrick signed

Get Jack Reed signed

Easy enough all that so over to you Ian Lenagan......ha ha.

Aye. Maybe we'll see it for the Exiles.

I can't see a reason not to sign up Finch. Age isn't a problem, here - even when practically hobbling round the pitch, a nearly-retired Deacon brought much-needed direction to the side. Finch is still relatively young, we need that kind of experience in the pivots, and we'll need continuity there when Tommy goes.

Why would Jack Reed leave a potentially NRL winning side for SL?

I don't think any of the other signings would happen being realistic. But Finchy should be signed up now.

He most probably wouldn't but we can dream....at least until he signs a 5 year deal with Brisbane.

Dureau is realistic-ish and Patrick unlikely but it's all tounge in cheek.

Like you say the main thing is to get Finch sorted out and work from there (infact Lockers is the main one but you catch my drift).

Not much pace in the halves with Finch and Dureau

He keeps getting sunburned in Brisbane and wants to come back to a colder climate.

Not much long term planning either. If Dureau came and was successful enough to warrant staying for the long term, the reality is he'll be back off to the NRL before we know it.

As good as that partnership could be, I'd prefer to have one or the other alongside a younger brit, preferably one of our own.

I am with the rest of you. Mr Lenagan if you are reading this, then sign Finch up sooner rather than later, and dont keep us waiting this time we dont want him to sign for anyone else.
