When was that announced?

Should we not knock down the town and start again? Latics fans might appreciate it too

It wasn't but we all know it's true. Typically though nobody at Wigan RLFC thought it wise to tell us, we only pay the wages.

Lenagan, Winston, Collinson and the tea lady out.

i bloody love announcements me

I blame Max, he always looks like hes hiding something to me. Hes a right shifty bugger.

I was wondering this, it's all doom n gloom on here atm. We finished 2nd this year, 1 point behind top, only lost 4 times in the regular season all year to the same 2 teams, WON THE CHALLENGE CUP, via a very difficult route and eventually ran out of steam and couldn't quite get through the playoffs and give Madge a fairytale ending.

Fair enough there are some changes to the playing and coaching rosters next season but providing we can add a bit of quality and with returning players such as Fielden and a full pre season for Hock we shouldn't be much weaker than this year. Plus we'll have Finch and Richards from the off next season. I haven't seen anything from any of the other teams to suggest we are going to tumble down to anything below 3rd or 4th next season though. If we can add a decent centre and stand off I'd put money on us finishing in the top 2 again.

I agree with most of what you say ,but what concerns me is that once Madge said he was going he was not looking further than the end of this season. Hence playing the strongest team every game.
True transistion should be ongoing not saying we will start next season, which means by not blooding a couple of youngsters in matches late this season the decision may come back to haunt us next year.
They will be starting cold with an aging squad.

I agree you could always trust that gorilla/monkey thing, he or she was Wigan through and through.

Bloody hell, and I thought the inbred lowlives infesting redvee were bad when it came to kneejerk pessimism... You'll be absolutely fine next season and there or thereabouts come the trophy shakeup. With the quality and youth you already have and the new signings that will inevitably be on the way you'll make the top 4 without breaking sweat and that's all you need to do these days. Actually, top 8 is all you need in this fantatic playoff system and you could do that with me playing. Just chill, guys

Leave the tea lady out of this

If she wanted leaving out of it she should have announced the biscuit selection for next season.

It's rumoured we are going back to traditional, eg custard creams, morning coffee etc.




p.s. this is not an announcement.
