| Quote: Father Ted "After all the signings made since IL bought the club we still need at least one prop now and another if/when Coley goes.
Last night only Feka & Fielden broke tackles. Coley & Prescott didn't break a tackle all night. Neither do they run with the power and aggression needed from today's prop forward.
The problem has been there before and since IL arrived and is still there now. At his first FF IL said "Why do we need props we've got eight".
He knows now why we need them and have for some years.
Until we get two far more powerful props than we have now into our front row the longer it's going to be before we can compete with the best.
What we also need desperately is a top class experienced play maker half back. We continually have teams on their try line and unless it's a kick struggle to break them down.
My ideal squad would be - Richards, Roberts, Gleeson, Carmont, Ainscough, New half back and Sam T. Fielden, Riddell, New Prop, Hock, Joel T, O'Loughlin, Feka, New Prop, Tommy (as a 9) Hansen.
Sam T is struggling at times to make play but it's difficult for him as most weeks he's playing behind a beaten pack. Put a new playmaker HB with Sam T behind a pack that can win most of not all games and the whole team could step up a gear and step up their performances. The wins would certainly follow!'"
I must of missed that bit  |

Don't kid yourself, Fielden hasn't broken a tackle in the last 3 seasons. |

I'm guessing he meant Hock. |

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

2 impact props?
It has been documented on here a few times that in your 4 props you should have,
Enforcer
Worker
Impact (Feka)
Youngster (Prescott/Eamon)
I think we need a worker who can make solid metres instead of another impact prop because I think there would be a lot of pressure on either Prescott or Eamon to get through a bucket load of tackles which is not the sort of pressure we want on these players.
Luke Bailey or Civonaceva for next season to replace Coley
LMS to replace Fielden the season after because I don't think he will be released before the end of his contract although a swap involving him and Andy Lynch would do nicely

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

A deal with Bradford for them to take Riddell, Fielden and cash for Newton, Lynch and Burgess would do me fine!

"Wigan Athletic - No known famous fans. The town (of Wigan) apparently goes into hibernation when the Rugby League season ends!" Daily Mail Online feature, July 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!
............
Wigan RLFC - The Uprising!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Wigan footballer Mohamed Diame described the home of mint balls and pies as 'cr**py'.
But Tomkins boomed: "I don't want to know what he thinks. I don't even know his name. He only plays for Latics.":16522.jpg |
