Haha everybody knew Shenton, LMS and Perry had signed it was already in the press for about 6 months. I also remember you saying Meninga wouldent coach us but nothing about Simmonds.

F**k off back to your own board and watch the mighty S dominate this season.

Serious question for you.
Did Nathan Ashe get a first team squad number for this season?
Do you see him as the eventual replacement for Wellens, or would Lomax or even Gaskell be better suited.

From the limited number of times I have seen Ashe play, he looks a good athlete with plenty of pace, but his decision making (when to pass,and when to hold on) has been poor.

I've always liked Gaskell, but am unsure of his best position, as I have seen him play fullback, centre, stand off and scrum half.

Lomax is another talented player, but his injury record would always be a concern.

Or as Blind as those that won't listen!



I often at times like this think back to the Gold Coast in 2008 with JLM23 and a couple of other Saints Supporters.
JLM23 agreed that Saints had some worrying times ahead due to Ageing Squad, loss of Key players, Focus on New Stadium and how that affects player recruitment etc whilst the other 2 (1 inparticular) was Blind to it all and every time the word Wigan came into conversation Frothed at the Mouth and went into a Blind Rant!

I think JLM23 will back up that my Last Comment was actually made and isn't a figment of some Hindsight imagination.

"Give it 18 months 2 years and Wigan will be back at the Top of RL!" JLM23 listened, The others didn't.

PS
He knew about Simmons 3 months before it was officially announced, I've seen the email that told him from Down Under (and subsequent ones!).

You were also there when we were told about Wigans approach for Wheeler, same day as the Maguire announcement as Wigan coach press conference.

Of course he was

Your right again!

I must have been dreaming whilst we were talking to a member of wigan's backroom staff at the Maguire press conference! Coincedentally we were also there with a certain soon to be made Backroom staff member who I picked up on the way IIRC?



PS it was the initial announcement one where the Maguire announcement was made but he wasn't there in person, Wane was there and he was made assistant coach.
Anyway it doesn't matter, we weren't there!

Seconded

Same might not of posted much but i been reading the fourms for years and if we put on the wigan one they moan like the F word
