The other teeny weeny little problem is that Wigan currently have seven overseas players registered excluding Hastings and I doubt the league would allow them to have 9 or 10.

Hastings is going to west tigers and they still don't know what Tommy Lu is doing next season , so theres possibly two spaces.

They've signed two forwards from NRL.
Hastings space on register has already been taken.

I know about the two forwards but they are still chasing an aussie srumhalf thats gone quiet, and whats happening with tommy lu? Not yet decided.

You’ve just debunked your own post there, nice one.

That was just for last year mate, they owe a total of £6 million plus the RFL loan you mention.

Jesus H Christ, we are on a winning run, we are safe from relegation and the club is profitable! Yet despite this the chicken licken brigade are already out in force.

Why do some fans insist on looking for problems that don’t currently exist, it baffles me. This glass half empty mentality has become truly tedious..

The only player to leave the club in recent years (won’t put a date as it’s catnip to pedants) who we really wanted to keep was Westerman. I suspect even he was torn and certainly hasn’t done so for the money.

If Lino or Miller really wanted to go then I suppose they would, not much you can do to stop them in truth but honestly, is it really likely?

One thing I’m sure of, we will do our upmost to keep them if that’s what WP wants and we certainly won’t be actively selling them unless that’s what WP/other coach wants.

Relax and go with the flow.

Bloody Hell thats really bad what the hell are the Rl doing giving a loan out to a club that much in debt that does'nt really have any assets to cover the loan ?
Makes you wonder who is running our game.

I presume the loan is from the COVID grant provided by the government to the RFL.

"Glass half empty", you ain't even got a glass.

care to try and explain that one

I agree with your logic but, Wigan will certainly need some players from somewhere.
For me, it spoke volumes when they didn't re-sign Williams.

On a side note, it's easy to see why the big clubs are wanting to reduce SL down to 10, to protect their share of reduced sky monies.
They wont be on their own with being skint.

Next season and what comes after will be very interesting.

Wigan already have next years coaches at the club. Matty Peet will be head coach and Shaun Wane Director of Rugby. Peet is an assistant coach getting a promotion and Wane has been back at Wigan for some time in a consulting capacity although it has been kept from the press.

I understand Wigan are in a bit of a mess in relation to the recruitment of a new half and look to be taking on a scatter gun approach. Trinity have been contacted regarding Miller.

The issue they have is they have Smith (who is very poor) on a long term deal and Field who is a bit of a Jack of all trades currently signed on. I think the strategic plan was to get Williams back and once he turned them down they were left to scratch their heads as who to go for. They have been linked with every half available or not at the moment. They have confirmed their is budget for a half but they increasingly look desperate to fill it.

Truth is Wigan are not a draw card anymore and haven’t been for a while.

Saints, Catalan and Warrington are the go too clubs now.

Sure Miller would still have more chance of silverware at Wigan than with us but they are no longer the cert they once were.

At Trinity Miller has a job for life and a testimonial in the not too distant future. It’s a lot to give up for Wigan, a bit of a player graveyard in recent years.

We will see.
