Was it not around the time of rumours of Riddell going home though?

Long was not the right man though, we should of gone all out to sign Orford.

How much better would it look if we had Orford instead of Riddell, more tommy to 9.

I don't recall those rumours so I dunno.

I'm sure there is a coach in place for next season.

Not really, we have a target and a backup. I don't think anyone has signed.... Wane has given it away a few times that he will be assistant or head coach.

I think they only did the rounds on here tbh.

Haha Wigan players texted in.

Long has just hit the nail on the head regarding international rl.

He couldnt lace Andy Gregs boots

I actually love Longs honestly, I am sick of people saying we can match the aussies this time, but we can't he actually has a great knowledge of our game although he is a to55er.





We have to be realistic.

Inglis
Thurston
Hayne
Folau
Hodges
Lockyer
Barrett

All backs for aus who are miles better than what we have and then you could name another 5 players in each position who are better than what we have.

Tactics have to be spot on.

Oh that explains why I took no notice of them then!

He speaks like a RL fan does Long. He's said pretty much what we all think.

what did they say?


PS can I just say IL must be seriously out of touch if he ever thought that going in for Longy would be a good move with the Wigan fans

Throughout his time in office so far, he has proved he will do what he thinks is right for Wigan, regardless of fan opinion, so I dont think he would be all that bothered.

Which is why he is the owner and Im only a lowly fan

Thought it was funny when he said that the Salary Cap was a good thing as it levelled out the game.
But then said that referees allowed too much lying on which brought the big teams down to the lower teams levels.

So don't allow wealthly clubs to spend the money that they can generate, and don't allow the poorer clubs a level playing field on it.

Well that'll keep Saints at the top of the tree then

Some snippets from the book here: www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... by_league/ I must admit, I wouldn't mind reading it. It sounds hilarious. Quite suprised to see Paul Sculthorpe and most others in the Saints squad involved with the betting scandal.

I would be amazed if no-one else was involved. From what I have heard, one former non-playing employee profited massively from it (and that came from the top man at Saints now).

Rumours were that one or two people from Sky got a wiff of it too.

I was really surprised at the odds though. I expected them to be getting thousands rather than £900.

Long and Gleeson only "gambled" on a Bulls win by 9 points or more, which was pretty much guaranteed.

Had they gone for a +40 win they would have won insane amounts, which tallies with the amounts I have heard being talked about for other people.

I heard similar from an ex-saints player....tut tut !

What was the saints team that day?

Quote ="Odemwingie"What was the saints team that day?'" www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/ ... ?page_id=7 I assume that almost every member of the squad and coaching staff took advantage in some way. And as Long says, i'm sure plenty of people in Bradford took advantage.

And don't forget the blue eyed Sky commentators and back staff too - all of whom would not be tried and had various spread betting accounts brimming full that week.
