| I like the way many people are talking about these 3 overseas players coming in but fail to mention the current overseas players that will be leaving, which is likely to be at least 3 so not much different then this year then.

You could write two headlines for that story. The negative one it has in the paper but if you wrote one like "Aussie rep players signed to compliment Wigan production line of talent" I don't think you would have to change a word of the article itself.
It's a positive story framed by a negative headline and that says a lot about the mindset of the headline writer. I'd expect better from a paper like the Independent but it's as poor a tabloid headline as you would expect to see in the News of the World.
Still you are not going to get many opposing fans reading positive stories about Wigan are you?
Dave

| Hadfield in having a go at Wigan shocker.
For those like him, who don't do logic:
In:
Hoffman
Finch
Lima
Out:
Piggy
Deacon (moves FT to coaching)
and given Lenegan said we have a spare quota space -
Feka
Bailey
Phelps
So as a minimum it looks like 3 in and 5 out at moment, that's before those out of contract likely Pryce etc are considered.
Therefore it looks like we'll have even more of the youngsters getting a squad place and therefore a chance, not less.

| Maybe we could just make Andys post a sticky at the top of the page, so any opposition fans can read it before they are going to post. It would definately tidy up the forum a bit

The fracking idiot can't even get the coach's name right - McGuire
And he conveniently forgets the number of imported (and less-talented) players that we are releasing.
We will have either the same or maybe even LESS imported players next year.
That article is a joke, pure and simple.
And shame on you, LovesToSpooge, for making me (and possibly others) waste a portion of our lives in reading it.

He also somehow managed to quote IL and misquote "Joe Heaton" instead of Joe Mellor

| Is Dave Hadfield the rather overweight, bearded guy who occasionally appears on the Super League show (when they can't get Kevin Sinfield or Rob Burrow!!)? Gives the impression of being quite intelligent ( it's the Independent, after all, not the WEP!), but he does seem to perspire quite a lot!
Of more interest, does Loves to Spooge read the Independent?!

I remember hearing him talk on GMR now and then, during match coverage. To say he didn't sound keen on Wigan winning would be the understatement of the year.

| I don't see what all the fuss is about, you've brought in some good players that are imports but letting some imports go, whats the problem?
I could understand if joel tomkins and sam tomkins had to make way for finch and hoffman as you would be replacing good young english players for aussies.
Every club in super league would love to have a squad of only english but the ain't enough good english players to go around.
On the subject of the players you've brought in, hoffman is a very good player that will be top player in super league, Lima isn't great but better than what you've go and finch aint a great NRL player but IMO will go ok over here.
All in all you should improve next season.

Thanks for your honest, unbiased and rational appraisal of Wigan's new signings - it makes a change from some of the rants we get on here from opposition fans!

I am always honest and say it as i see it.
If i thought the three storm players was poop then i'd say it but i think they will improve your squad for next year.
