If you can't be successful at the biggest, most successful club the game has ever known for the last 100 years then you aren't very good at business.

A better test would be for the said Chairman to take over Doncaster or Sheffield or even Castleford. If he did that and made any one of them as successful or even half as successful as Wigan then I would second the accolades you are bestowing upon him.

Being a successful chairman at Wigan does not really have much degree of difficulty to it.

It's kind of like being Michael jordan's coach.

We had an international tournament in 2010, it just wasn't hosted in England!

It says we did not HOST one which implies hosting one is far more profitable than playing in one hosted elsewhere.

You can't host one if it is being run in another country! That's not the rfl's fault it is called sharing around the int comp. Your comment was we need a regular int schedule, we've got one!
