Yes he got a good price for them but this money wasn't ploughed back into the team.
Yes they didn't go to a rival club they just headed down under and made our competition even weaker.
Yessss.....May has resigned

although we might now end up with Boris Johnson

Thing with being happy with players leaving to the NRL and coming back here is like letting your Mrs have a hall pass.

That policy needs to change, it should be ‘If you leave, you ain’t coming back’.

Mossop, Tomkins, Sarginson, Burgess, Joel, etc all shadows of the players that left.

Disagree with Sarginson, he’s always been crap

He tries hard and does well at fullback, he just can’t pass to his winger.

He did v Catalans, I was as surprised as anyone but he did. Marshall scored one and maybe might have had another.
That was the only positive I took from the game.

Spot on.

As I understand it, as part of the deal (including a circa 200,000 transfer fee), Canberra have requested there be no announcement until later in the season as to not unsettle the team. I’m not saying Wigan would have announced it by now if this wasn’t the case, but they’re not to blame on the lack of announcement.

Everyone knows he’s off anyway, announcement or not.

I am in the camp of IL has done more good than bad for Wigan. There is room for improvement yes but we are forgetting how much money this man has put in from his own pocket to cover financial losses the club has made over the years. You could argue that the losses are partially down to the club with things such as pathetic marketing, poor rugby to watch on the field, signings that don’t make fans excited, etc. we have had 4 grand final wins, 2 challenge cups and a world club Challenge in the last ten years. Look at the mess we were in when IL took over and if anyone would have told you we would win this over a 12 year period you would have laughed at them.

That’s the problem, we all talk about what Leneghan has done and not what he is going to do. It’s great to remember the past but it’s important not to get stuck in it.

Who’s stuck in it? I think what people are saying is that we have faith in Lenagan going forward because of the impressive track record he has.

In terms of being stuck in the past I think that can be said for a proportion of our fan base who want us to be the Wigan of the past - sign whoever we want, pay them whatever we want and win every game. The sport is not like that any more and it seems as though people resent Lenegan for being a sensible, but successful, business man who’s looking after the best interest of the club.

I seriously can’t comprehend anyone who slates him given everything he has done. (Ps, I’m not saying he his mistake free as of course he is not, but on balance he has done us good more often than not).

One of the problems with this board is that many are stuck in the past.................... The 1980's..

Here here. Exactly what I said above.
