It's the bit about HH's current 'poverty row' deal at Wigan that I found doubtful. If you don't, fine. Neither of us, I guess, will ever know for sure.

I never said you did, but it was a bold statement to make. Also as a Wigan fan i know it will be up to Lenegan when he decides to make transfers dealings public. For all we know the contract might of been signed but until the time is felt as right it won't be confirmed.

I'm well aware of what Marwan told people there. Everyone on the ST knows.
It's just nobody else felt the need to come on the Wigan forums and act like a bell-end.
You know, like REDLEAGUE would do?

You're quite entitled to do what you want.

Apparently the 1st team players pay a percentage back to the chairman ( been told 20%) for his investment in to the club/business as TBH although he may act like a fan, at the end of the day he is a business man who knows how to maximise his capital & investment.
If you are on 100G then 80G is still alot, but if you are only maybe on 30G and that drops to 24G you can understand why players are leaving for money.

Is this serious?
How anybody could possibly even consider for a mano-second there may be a grain of truth in this is beyond me. I've read some seriously stupid stuff on here over the years (who just said "you wrote most of it"?) but this takes the biscuit.

I'd rather some of these lads weren't leaving but it's a business at the end of the day and if it means we keep the younger lads who are coming through, then that's the way it has to be unfortunately.
GF winners 2010 & 2013
CC winners 2011 & 2013
LLS winners 2010 & 2012
Lima, Finch, Hoffman, Roberts, Gleeson, Carmont, Leuluai, Fielden, Coley, J. Tomkins, Riddell, Prescott, Deacon, Hock Have all left in those 3 seasons for one reason or another and it's not done us too much harm.
IL/Wane etc will and should be judged on results. If in 10 months time we've not won the CC, we're 5th in the league and out of the playoffs we can say it was a mistake letting Hansen, Mossop, Richards and Tomkins go.
Out of the lads I mentioned above, a lot of them are still playing. If we'd have kept hold of them we wouldn't be seeing the likes of Hampshire, Powell, Farrell, Crosby, Burke, Burgess, Manfredi, Thornley, Williams, Tierney, Lloyd, Hughes, Greenwood etc coming through and we'd be where we were a few years ago when we were having to buy a team every year.
