The best thing for Wigan now imo is for BN to leave at the end of season.

This isn’t his fault but I can’t help but feel we need the freshness of a new coach in with the players and club in general.

We now HAVE to sign one world class player this season to get the buzz back.

Wigan should be absolutely bloody amazing by now then

Cant see it taking too much out of the rest of the players in your squad but it will certainly weaken your team as Hock was one of the better players at Wigan. In that sense it will be negative.

It's like a Soap Opera at the minute

Brian Noble - Wigan Coach for 3 years. This type of 'off the field' activity has been going on prior to his arrival and whilst he was here. (My father in law walked into a local pub toilet and witnessed similar act of a first team player who's now no longer with the club - didn't even bother to do it in a cubicle.)

Brian Noble - Ex Policeman, If there was ever a man to clamp down on this type of activity you'd assume an ex copper could.

Sorry Brian, but this is something that should have been nipped in the bud on your arrival. Maybe execute a few sacrifical lambs to serve as a warning..?

Time for someone to lay the law down.

I'd say it's Karma for the good times we had in the 80's/90's.

Hopefully something similar will happen to your lot around 2020

I have voted in a negative way, we may see a reaction on the weekend but it will be short lived. What we now have to deal with is a total lack of threat/strike with wide runners.

Defences will not have to worry about that chanel as much and as such our non creative team will have even less space to work in.

Fully agree with this.

The only small positive is that Gleeson may see a little more ball now we won't be as obsessed with the Hock/Carmont combo.

You're joking aren't you? Neither of them 2 played against Celtic and we still continued to attack down the left

I don't want to sound Kevin Keegan like and state the obvious, but it could work either way.



I think Wigan are a proud club no matter what, yes they appear to be going though a bad patch, and it seems Noble is on his way with a few dodgy deals going on behind his back to find his replacement. Couple that with the Hock story and you lot have a major problems, but if a club ever needed motivation, they are one game from Wembley, and have a massive game against an out of sorts Hull KR side on sunday, a real stepping stone towards a last gasp surge towards the play offs.

I think Wigan might just turn all of this around, I only hope it all starts the following week after Rovers turn them over.

if gareth hock had a brain he would be one of the best forwards in britain.i have been saying that for years, now i can tell u i told u so

Well done. Now tell us something we don't know.

BTW - He was one of the best forwards in Britain anyway (without a brain).

to be a good player means on and off the field.now we know why his behaviour on the field is so erratic.until wigan start acting like a professional team they will struggle to win important games

I can't help reading that in the style of Kevin Keegan, thanks!

No it isn't.

Ever seen Sean Long on a night out over the last fifteen years???

Yet he's been a fantastic player for Saints, one of their best ever.

I'd really really love it if we beat Warrington in the Cup.

I would really love it, too

i,d love to see wigan hammer warrington in semi ,thats why ian lenigan needs to sort this out quickly .he needs to make some tough decisions and get wigan back on track

Aye.

I honestly think Hock is the most physically impressive player i've seen in a Wigan shirt but he has no rugby league nouse and today has proved he just doesn't have a brain in general.

well said ,when you watch his general game he makes the wrong decisions time and time again.hock can,t do the simple things well

He's the best & worst of our current team in a nutshell - brilliant at times, but prone to too many stupid errors/decisions.

Overall, the team's far too inconsistent for it to make a huge difference overall - I still think we'll produce good wins followed by numbingly inept displays

i suppose the next game at hull k r will show us what kind of character is left in the team

Noble can not polish a turd.

Hopefully we can use this opportunity to sack a job lot.

Lost a big player in Hock.

If anything Wigan will be 'lifted' to show what a great outfit and club they are on the field, to silence not only people critisising Hock, but also their critics that they rely to much on Hock; which in my opinion isn't true.

quoting myself here but i think that the Hock situation has actually done what i thought and brought you closer together as a team
im genuinely really looking forward to the cup semi now. it's going to be an epic game


you guys are hitting a bit of form now should be good end to the season
