...and yet despite that, we are third in the table, have scored the second most points in the league, and conceded the third fewest .

Go figure, eh?

And have just secured the signature of one of the UK's best players.

We're in a rut, for sure, but for some people the glass is always half-empty.

It's a shame Gells is injured because I bet Wane would be wondering about throwing Sarge in at full back and playing Joel and Gelling at centre. Was superb against Hull FC last year, and his horrible defence recently won't be too much of a worry back there.

Out of Bowen and Hampshire, I'd stick with Mango. I still think he offers more than Rocky does, even though I do rate Hampshire, I just don't think he is a full back. Really think this could be the weekend which we turn our away form around, it would just be typical Wigan to do it in the hardest away game possible!

This pops up time and time again and I'd love to know who has spent more on transfer fees than IL

Off the top of my head
J Tomkins
S Tomkins
M Smith
S Taylor
M Gleeson
L Mossop
D Sarginson
T Clubb
J Bateman?
I Thornley?
T Tautai?

Apart from the bottom 3, who I'm not 100% sure about, we paid a transfer fee of some sort for these lads. Give me the name of another club that has paid a transfer fee for 11 players over the past few years? In fact give me the name of a club that's paid a transfer fee for 5 players over the past few years.

Sure we paid about £50k for Bateman and possibly something for Thornley. I believe TT was out of contract

How dare you let facts get in the way of a good old fashioned rant.

So, apart from paying significant amounts of money on transfer fees what has IL ever done for us?

Did we pay for blake green????

Yes

Sam Hopkins (the invisible man), who the good Dr is now getting interested in.

The fees received for Sam, Joel, and Hock covers that lot with a few quid to spare

I'm sure the money for Joel was put in to Central Park. How much did we get for Hock?

Which only proves what good acumen our good Chairman has.

Personally i think IL is a class act.

I will happy clap him because he deserves it.

I also think SW is doing a cracking job. I was reluctant to mention that as i did not want to be viewed with contempt by 41% (at the last count) of the forum.

Have you no shame....

Your one to talk.

I just hold my nerve.... and try to avoid all the jerking knees..

I see the WANE OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! camp is slowly started to die down

Well it was at 41% yesterday....its now at only 40%



What a bunch of fickle so and so's we have on these forums



One win and people change their minds

Happy clappers are out in force then.

Just having a bit of a giggle... We are just as disappointed as anyone when we lose... From some post i read, you would think it makes some people day when we lose, so they have something to moan about..

And why not?

Things are not as bad as some would make out.

Besides

I would hardly describe it as being out in force. There has only been two of us on here.

One loss and "we are rubbish"
One win and "we are actually not that bad"

You realise you're doing the exact same thing?

It's as predictable as when Mugwump comes on here after Wigan lose and Saints win.

Glad we could provide you with something to be unhappy about....

mard

That was me! I decided to vote for Wane is a genius to see how big the "swing" would be.

Just be careful that Wiggn does not get wind of it.......

Him (her?) coming on here and moaning about something is as predictable as Mugwump coming on here if Saints win and Wigan lose....
