What's bitter about it? He was a decent player 10-12 years ago. Now nothing but a average cheap shot merchant. Captain of England / GB? Wow who wants it? They can't even beat PNG. End of the day I accept that Wigan are the game's most famous club so no bitterness. As for you hoping we get relegated its 21 years people have been saying it and its not happened so dream on. Plus if we're in trouble we'll buy a player for 400k and get some to play for free.

Sean O’Loughlin is nothing more than an average cheap shot merchant - wow. Some knowledgeable fans on here.

He’s entering his 15th year as Wigan captain.

From a personal point of view I think O'Loughlins been a very good servant to the Wigan club but he's definitely lost his mobility while keeping his leadership quality. He now tends to give away far too many penalties , that's great for Wigan opponents.

If he were any good he'd have gone to the NRL. He even injured himself last year putting a high shot in. Remember him whining when he took Annakins head off, then Wigan bullied the panel to get him off a lengthy ban. I don't claim to be an oracle on RL just my opinion. But for me he's overrated and no where near sinfield, Farrell, or Gareth Ellis in quality or leadership.

Funny how people see different things in a player, it is my opinion that SOL oozes class - He is the type of player that can have an influence on a game without the touch of a ball. As he has got older he has lost some attributes of course, but he can lead a team around the pitch and control a game better than any half in the league still.

On the other hand, I do not put Sinfield up there, I think he had a quality kicking game and I did not see much else.

Fully agree here. Even though he's well past his pomp, he'd still make a great captain and leader for any Super League club, including us.

To be fair, every time I’ve seen Navarette against St. Helens he hasn’t been dominated like Clubb and Flower have so could be a shrewd signing.

Wigan are very much living off past glories. That said Hastings could be a game changer if and it’s a huge if, he fits in.

Past glories? They won Super League the year before last

No it didn't it took all the best players to one club proving back then there was just a hand full of quality players since then you had to resort to cheating back in 2006 to keep in super league as you was destined to go down bit like Leeds did the last few seasons

Not quite sure what your point is exactly but if you’re trying to say the quality hasn’t got down then you’re a fool, just because your precious Wakefield have a shot at the top 5 doesn’t mean they’ve become world beaters all of a sudden, every team last season apart from saints were crap, yet the same teams win the league every year which shows the current cap isn’t working, it should be lifted to 3m and if you’ve got the money to spend you’ll probably win

didn't you have thread going on your site stating you went £1.2 million into red carrying doing that and you'll be the next bradford, and just because you didn't win anything last year doesn't mean the league was crap
