a major negative is age.
but looking at it like that, he could (could?) be an asset, if we have no more youngsters coming through yet who can push Marsh and Goulding (which i think you may have mentioned if we had).
he could also cover 2nd row if we dont get a replacement for Hoff , and leave Joel in the centre.
i will majorly worry though if he gets a shirt number lower than about 27 |

1. are the same people with a Sam Tomkins obsession.
2. are jealous of Wigan winning again, if they ever got over Wigan winning things years ago.
3. whose knowledge of RL and the commercial realities associated with it are gleaned exclusively from the letters page of League Express.
i.e. they're the last people we give a damn what they think, and even then we don't care.'"
Speaking of the league express did anyone read the letter from a very knowledgeable RL fan claiming wigan only had 4 academy players in there 17 at wembley..  you seriously couldn't make it up with some of the freaks that follow this sport. |

Just a thought, but could Wigan be looking at teaching him some of the coaching side of things, to give a future Wales/GB head coach who people have heard of to raise the profile?

Well this rumour has certainly put the 'cat among the pigeons' amongst the fans. Will it do the same in the changing room if found to be true ?

GARETH THOMAS has completed his shock move to Wigan — as revealed by SunSport.
The 100-cap Wales union star has signed a one-year deal with the Warriors.
It is a surprise switch for Thomas, who saw a one-year extension with Crusaders ripped up when they pulled out of the Super League licence race.
Thomas, 37, will not be regarded as a starting centre — with Joel Tomkins and George Carmont occupying those slots. But Wigan believe he will add more competition.
He will also link up with current Crusaders boss Iestyn Harris, who will be an assistant Wigan coach next season.

If he can get through our pre season he will have earned his place without any complaints from me
plus if his film does get made it has the happiest of endings. I'm imagining something like the end of Star Wars with 1st teamshirtd being handed out instead of medals

our pre-season will be a damn sight harder than anything he has come across before......if he gets through that he still has 4 ahead of him in the pecking order, if nothing else it will spur on Stefan and Darrell to prove that they are better than a 37 yr old Onion convert

That hurts! So much I might have to watch the challenge cup final and Grand Final back to back tonight whilst checking out the last 2 seasons league tables!
You post a total mixture of stuff on here. Some of it is sensible, some of it is trolling and like this little beauty some is plain crazy.
If you think our current plight is funny you'll pi*s yourself if we go on to retain the league leaders shield on Sunday and then the grand final.
I hope we do just to cheer you up. |

I did so flicked back through the pages and found us to have 9 to Leeds 10 and not the 4 to Leeds 10 suggested.
We had- Sam, Charnley, Joel, Hansen, Lockers, Mossop, Prescott, Farrell and McIlorum.
That number will rise next season aswell. |

Yeah, you're right, we're top of the league, CC holders and have been, are and always will be the biggest club in the British game. But everyone is laughing at us.
Even if they are (which would make a welcome change from the usual childish envy and hatred, to be honest!) we don't care, why should we?
We do what we want
We do what we want
We're Wigan rugby

| Of course the difference between the two clubs is that Wigan have not only generated and retained top class payers but there are also lots of former Wigan players who are now playing at other clubs, but who weren't quite good enough for Wigan. Leeds on the other hand kept hold of some of their not-quite-good enough players and they play in the first team... |

Watkins was in the Salford academy team, and then went to Leeds.

Did he?
He was in the Warrington Service area team with Joe Mellor and I am sure when Watkins left Latchford Albion to go Leeds, Mellor left to go Wigan. |

18 or 19 academy players turning out at Wembley is a great achievement, and both clubs deserve a lot of credit. Lets hope other SL clubs aspire to what Wigan and Leeds are doing.
