good point.... well made

He told us last night he's definitely signed for Cas.

My hope is that milky isn’t leaving

But I wonder if as captain he doesn’t want to announce he’s going (if he is) until the last game of the season perhaps?

We’ll there’s a relief, as last night showed our half’s for what they are , bang average , playing against a make shift pairing and I’d say with Hand on heart that Jez Litten was head and shoulder above our pair closely followed by Minchella .Half a dozen decent games doesn’t get him brownie points in my book , he should be at the Cas ,Wigan standard every game .I’m pretty certain there will a half back chomping at the bit overseas or home for that matter ,to lead us on the field and get our attacking structures back to an acceptable level .Sorry for the downward turn of my rant after that emotionally charged night ,but I’m really looking forwards to our next chapter after we see out this roller coaster of a season next Fri .

The way he played last night was as if he'd already left

He was poor, but tbf our forwards and Crowther struggled to give them any forward momentum to work from for large parts. Thought Butler was decent when he came on, did some nice yards and put a couple of big shots on, be interesting to see what happens with him, there’s clearly been bags of potential, it’s just whether we can get that out of him and playing to that potential. It was a proper grind of a game that second half, I’m chuffed we won the arm wrestle and restored survival.

Well last night I was the hospitality mc and good lady Tracey with all the staff worked there bloody socks off , lost their drive no not imop

It's a difficult one because I like Milky, however you can probably count on one hand the number of games he truly influenced in a season.
No half back with any team puts in a fantastic performance for any of the teams week in week out but we seem on the low side.
Anyway if he moves to Cas it will be interesting to get the Cas fans take on his inconsistent play. He's become part of the furniture and its probably for the best for him to move on

might not get him brownie points in your eyes but his performances have helped keep the club up.

Anyone else I'd let this go after last night but you're the exception. Did you spend any time slagging him off to his face regarding the absolute disgraceful deal/sell out (your words) he accepted regarding the stadium?

Or Garen Casey

A classic case of lacking confidence in both himself and his team mates?

I Think Miller's was probably also linked with money and length of contract.

Ted probably offered Casey the cash and intended to worry about paying it at a later date.

Well well well vastman no I said nothing Thursday night but I told him at Xmas cos o live close by to kirkamgate that the deal was crap believe me our not? So run a long to mummy!!

Yeah if you say so

Not sure if anyone else heard but Leuleui is leaving and Wigan have Mason Lino as a shoe in?

Only if they pay a transfer fee.
They can't approach him directly either. We've got to agree.

Well he is retiring and joining the coaching team but the outcome is the same. The only way Lino can join is with our approval, they can’t even officially talk to him. I suppose we can demand a fee if the story is true.

Remember Vastman doesn’t like him.

Shoe in is he.
Got some way to go I think

I don’t know who is in charge of player contract negotiations but out of our lengthy list we have retained
Kaye
Whitbread
Options on
Pitts
No idea
Croft

There probably a few more fringe players up for review but who knows what the current position is.

If I do or I don’t what has that got to do with anything. You really are getting desperate. You’re also getting obsessed, I’m a balding 60 year old man, are you totally sure I’m what you’re after? Suppose I should be flattered.

To be entirely accurate an opinionated balding 60 year old man.

please let this be true garbage doesn’t even to described him

The answer to your question is...the person who does the contracts. Hope that helps.

Think you are being harsh on Lino. There is a good player in there, i know he has had poor games and been quiet in others. However he has had some blinders, Wire away being one. Not only that he is a fantastic goal kicker.
Bit like Miller who has also been erractic performance wise apart from very recently.
If this rumour is true, Wigan arnt daft they will know there is a good player in Lino.

However the rumour could also be a load of bullocks, because there is now plenty of talk they want Brodie Croft
