To all you wigan fans,

This pains me to write this and im expecting a backlash from my own fans (saints)

You boys really look the real deal and i expect you to win everything with your squad, i know warrington will have a bit to say about that but after being there yesterday and being embarrassed by my own team you were very good.

Excellent accross the board with your 2 pivitol halves with an explosive full back and strong forwards.

However i do believe we cant be that bad again! But at the minute you have everything we need pace power and direction.

I believe that you need to win it this year because in losing leuleui and lima with the possibility of finch there are not many better out there than them.

As for us we will be there or there abouts come the end of season and i do believe that nathan brown next season will massively benefit us because he plays the same way as yourselfs winning the ruck and slowing the play the ball down.

Once again well done to your team and hope we dont meet again in the plays offs after the last game of the regular season.

You are not really a Saints fan are you?

In all seriousness a good first post

unfortunately i am a saints fan famous yep

It's great when decent fans can recognise the quality of other teams (even their local rivals).

I think you are right Saints will improve under Brown next year but it will not transform you overnight.

I also think the next couple of months will be crucial for Wigan for next year as we should resolve the Finch situation and recruit or promote from within the replacements for TL, JL and GC.

At the moment I think Wigan are ahead of the pack and look good for silverware. If we get our recruitment wrong for next year we could fall back in the pecking order.

he will definatly not transform us overnight but if we get makinson at full back as now all full backs are now quick defence is needed but the modern full back needs pace if you look through the league eden tomkins russel mcdonnell all have pace but could work on defence we are a bit behind the times as much as i love wello and i know you lot hate him times have changed! also if we do get manu turner and a fich type half makes us look much better straight away not amazing but much stronger

I think most Wigan fans respect Wellens and hope he gets a contract extension

haha im not suprised by that

Wellens, a true wigan hero!
