Not according to employment law if I remember, as players re-structured contracts. Whelan I think tried to put this across but the RFL would not accept it. So technically we were not over as players had monies deferred, if I remember correctly. However you also went over the cap to back into SL.

as much as we have bantered today i do quite like wigan n for a team there size i thing hanleys not the way forward when u have someone like noble already

You really are pathetic, reguardless of that year, look at my sig, Castleford will never be or do any of that. Castleford are tiny compared to Wigan, you dream of being a club like us, go back to your own board seriously.

You only have 26 posts and most of them are on here, did you just sign up to wind Wigan fans up? dont answer that though.

IMO Noble's not the way forward either.

maybe not mate at the min,surley to sack him n bring in hanley n betts is a step back...like if we sack matterson n give andy hay the job id be ed off...if u sack noble u need someone half decent maybe like tony smith

Like I said, Raper/Lam for me

well for me bud i was happy when we got raper and he did a dam good job for us and wish we still had him ( no dis-respect to matterson )raper is a very good coach

He was, and I'm sure is. We need some passion back at Wigan, hence my suggestion of Lam, he's young but sharp and knows what it means to wear Cherry and White.

Repeated.....

2002 CC

yeah maybe lam he did a good job at the world cup with PNG a team never gonna do anything...they peformed against england..could be a decent coach at club level

I love the fact that the Castleford Fans are p*ssed off because we bent the rules to retain our place in super league that year... I am soooooo glad I didnt have to go and watch my side at places like Featherstone, leigh and york etcc..... But you did Paul... So i will take your banter on the chin, with a rye smile knowing full well we didn't actually exceed the cap, you can have your win on Friday aswell... I guess some people need some glimmer of hope, but the fact still remains your a small town in Yorkshire who are never gonna win owt..... Dont come on here and start messing with the big boys....

PS.. Is your mum gonna have a go at you for messing in your trousers after Fridays win!!!

Stop kissing @rse because you have made an idiot of yourself. Your still a gimp.

............... and even when the sun isn't shining very brightly on us, it's still a f***ing big shadow !

The fact we even have to debate with Castleford fans is an sad indication of where Wigan has come.
