[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 |

Can he produce the same things as Madge?
We all know the players respect him i just think this might be too big for him but IL knows what he's doing if he's happy i will be |

Think we'll ever get him back?
Even in ten years time he'll only be in his forties still (and even better).  |

I spoke to one of the guys at the club today when queing up to see Madge and he said he will achieve everything he needs to in superleague the GF and CC so he will have nothing to come back for.
He has a young family and IMO he won't up sticks until they have all left school, Maybe after that... but I doubt it. Why have Cava when you can have champagne.. by this I mean coaching in the NRL compared to here.
England coach at some point? Defo Australian national coach.

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

We can live in hope, I honestly think he would have gone on to become Wigans greatest EVER coach.
From what Rads has said I think he could be the best coach Wigan have ever had.

Challenge cup, League leaders and Super league champions would no doubt change your mind.
I have seen the rugby we played under Lowe but I just think we are better drilled and better coached now IMO. That team had star players who played well together. Madge has a team with some players who used to be very average and has taken them to the top. Everyone knows their roles in this team, THATS why we didn't notice we were missing 4 top players on friday night.
Quote me on it if you like. South Sydney will finish top of the NRL in 2012.
The guy is so young as well. I honestly believe he could match Bennet, he is that good.
I just hope he doesn't steal our players or coaches over time though. Could the like of Tomkins, Lockers, Mossop, Leuluai, Charnley etc. turn down a big NRL deal when the cap goes up? Could Bitcon, Wane, Rads etc. turn down more money and living in the sun? I don't think all of them would turn that down.
Anyway, back to the topic, we are taking a few. 30k+ easily. It will be a great day, especially for the older generation who have waited for Wigan to return and also for the younger generation who have never seen Wigan win at Wembley. This includes myself, I was too young in 95 and we lost in 98 when I did go.

I wouldn't worry about that part of it too much. I'm pretty sure they already have good assistants, conditioners and team-managers in the NRL.
He may take a couple of players over time, but not the backroom boys. That would be like saying "Wigan have got it right and here in Aus we haven't". |

Fair point.
Bitcon seems to be on the same wave length as Madge. The way Madge talks about him, it is like he shares that drive for success and a similar work ethic.
I'm pretty sure they will have similar folk at the NRL clubs anyway though you are right.
Wigan have got it right though, I know it is not as likely as some players leaving but you never know. |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

YES ! and you will look a total TOOL. We are in Cherry and White, and anyone who turns up in blue, black, or any other Wigan top that is not cherry and white will get ridiculed for being stupid.

I see you're back on form.
Just been offered five tickets for Latics this Saturday. Wigan college have given away 100 today alone. I understand Whelan bringing kick off forward three hours but maybe he should have asked for a Sunday game. |

You won't be the only person in the 27-0 top, and you certainly won't be the only one not in cherry and white.
