this blog is fantastic. if every club was to do this and publish it to newspapers or even the the rugby league magazine i could see it gaining alot of interest (i found my self checking this 4 times today to see if day 7 had been uploaded)!!. to me this trip sounds like its been well worth the money, only question i have is why only 1 week? gelling looks like a gun i hope he has some speed to him and paddy gains some again. the size difference in finchy is mental he looks like he is ready for a body building comp. i can see us being able to cope with warringtons size this year no problem! its going to be good to see some of the other lads like mossop a preckie fill out aswell as lima he was defo missing some much needed weight at the beging of the season. fielden should be all guns blazing aswell. this pack could be the monsters of superleague this year size wise. i know warrington readers will be holding their todgers to see if theirs is bigger but it wont be this season no way. i just hope mickey has been practising his passing of the floor from dummy half if he has then he will be fine.

The exact same noises are radiating out of this team as when maguire first arrived and look what happened. and i dont know why i just get the feeling this season we will be stronger than last season at the end of last season we seemed to be lacking in physical toughness.

please if any one could get hold of the video what rads was on about in the blog i would love to see it? i got tingles just thinking about it.

It won't be published and I doubt they'll let anyone outside the club look at it

Fielden vs Prescott...

Sam vs Logan?

Kramer v Kramer?

I'd say Kramer.

Day 8 has just gone up.

Ian Lenegan is there now.

IL has gone all that way for 2 days?! Wow that's commitment!

I'd imagine he's there on business too

day 9 is now online.

its been quite interesting reading what theyve been getting upto.

Just read the last day of the blog, great read and really got me getting exciting about the new season.

Wish Id have been on the beach!!!

A great daily read. I will miss it! Rads says that the trip has been a big success and I have no reason to doubt him, in fact I have every reason to believe him. However the proof will be seen when the playing starts for real in Feb. Bring it on!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading that blog; the team seem to have reaffirmed their cohesion even after Madge and a few players have left. There's a passion for the club that becomes all the more evident in Rads' writing; if he, Wane, Harris et al can continue to foster and grow that passion then The Wigan Way will lead for other clubs only to follow.

Looks like we have a new chant for next season aswell.

has Finch put some size on ??? or has he always been this wide lol, Gellings a unit

Gutted the blog is over. I wish Rads would give us one every week.

May I be the first to say 'oo-er!'

after reading this i would love a daily blog from Rads give you that inner circle access we have never had before great feature and def fired up for the pre seasons now

Rads was doing a page in the programme for last season and it was always a good read about things behind the scenes.

Blog this week has been very entertaining, sounds as though it's been anything but a holiday.

An excellent blog by Rads with great insight to how out pre-season is going and by the sounds of things the coaches are pushing the lad's to their limits. It would be great if Rads continued this blog through out the season it would provide an excellent insight to how the club is ran.

Someone should suggest it to him

Manchester City have excellent fan interaction with constant website/twitter/facebook updates with going's on at the club along with a weekly City TV, it's a weekly video showing what occurred at training and behind the scenes of the club. If Wigan Warriors did something similar to this it would be a great step forward in club to fan relations.

Rads would obviously be too busy to do a regular daily blog but there is a hole to fill on the website in the fortnightly? Hoff the Record slot. I'd imagine there would be a replacement for this and a Radlinski one could be the answer, though he writes in the programme and it may be better to get a view from a players perspective.

Rads should be given that slot that Hoffman/Bailey etc have had. He would give a cracking insight from a staff members perspective but also as seen this past week from the perspective of a past player and general Wigan supporter.

Either give him that or create a new one for him alongside the players piece and give that to one of the other lads (Finch not a bad shout).

That's if he's got the time.

"Column Finchys"

A daily blog would just be stupid, it'd be boring after a couple of weeks. A weekly blog would be an interesting read though.
