| Quote ="Mild Rover"The reason we're supposedly not asking the hard questions is because the answers as pretty obvious, and sanguine is more efficient than tantrum.
For years we were told the board were being profligate and economic Armageddon awaited. Well, I guess this is what financial prudence looks like in the money pit world of professional sport.
Chester made a hash of pre-season, but he did the honourable thing. The board [icould[/i see something's wrong and are looking for somebody they think can put it right.
As one of the less wealthy clubs, we have to take some gambles. That is a systemic issue. We have to balance quality against depth - lots of both isn't an option. We have to take risks on players, because we can't afford to be shelling out transfer fees regularly. Some years you're going to roll more 1s than 6s.
Decision-making hasn't been great, with hindsight, but I can only think of a few times I've thought 'wtf' in advance and I wasn't always right on those. I was very pleased with the signing of Lunt and the extension for Campese last season, but their injuries have hampered us badly. Kelly looked like we'd rolled one of those 6s last season, and the fear was we wouldn't be able to hold onto him - that's less the case at the moment.'"
What was the 'honourable thing' Chester did?

That qualifies IMO.
We've wandered a long way from the squad announcement.
I guess Marsh will come in for Kelly and Dixon for Mantellato.
Then do you put Lawler or Greenwood in the second row? I'd go for Greenwood, with Lawler spelling him and Boudebza. Moran for Green on the bench. Cator's a backrower is he? Maybe he gets the last bench spot.

That would be the only realistic option, unless they went really leftfield and brought Oakes in and dropped Shaw/Cockayne

| Just to make you feel a little bit better there are four players from last years U19 team in Wigans squad for Monday, Gregson, Bretherton, Waterwoth and Gildart. Also Sutton aged 20 and Tierney aged 21.

Whilst you're about enthralling us with your intellect can you explain why Pritchard never carried the ball in the first 20 minutes?

Never once said we will win anything except I predicted a win against you,
Just because I see kr for what it is, the board have signed players like tilse as 1st choice? Is that the type of player you want? I'd be gutted if he was in our squad with shirt no 30 odd,
Can't speak for cranky frank personally, you've obviously got a bee in your Easter bonnet as he was one of the stars in the last 22 minutes, imagine how many metres he would have made if he did get involved in the first 20 like big metre eater Dane.

I find it really strange that someone like you with obvious vile traits has the gaul to call others.It clearly shows that you cannot handle defeat and your only comeback is name calling.You have a dig at Pritchard who is far better than anything your side has,did more metres then Tilse and Allgood did together the former being the worst forward on the field .. if not SL.The true reality is that Hudgell and co decided on a thin squad filled with injury prone players ,over paid flops and championship players ,brought in new backroom staff who clearly cannot get the players to Sl fitness all to save money.As it stands we are 4th you are second bottom having played one game more.All the bull of best team lost is laughable ,failing to hold on to a 20 pt lead with 20 mins left clearly shows they were not the best or they would have won..learn to take defeat with dignity instead of it letting it eat you away you saddo

You all get a bit cranky about Frank don't you.
One of the if not the highest paid players in the league.
One of your top 6-7 performers Friday was he? No he wasn't was he. Outperformed by Shaul Houghton Sneyd Fonua Taylor Lancaster Ellis.
Needs to up his game.
As for the insults for your fellow fan go see what he posted.....that what could be left up by the moderators.
You won....relax.

| You are a bit touchy about Frank; your own fickle posters have a thread on your board saying he needs to pull his finger out. What day is it on there today is it Fickle Friday or Meltdown Monday. Even Barista is embarrassed to be associated with him, she has changed her picture from fat Frank and Scott Taylor to one of dummies in FC shirts, it was difficult to spot the change, but if you look carefully you can see the difference.

NRL must be a rubbish standard then eh, because he had offers from clubs to stay & 9 SL clubs wanted him, but I suppose he isn't in red & white so he must be rubbish, did you go after him or was the squad full up on tilse, allgood & co? What do people expect him to do break through on every tackle & score? It's not under 8s.

For what it's worth I was disappointed with Pritchard thought he was average at best and Tilse is an easy target as you say the NRL must be crap Tilse has played over 200 games in it

| I would not disagree about who was our best player, it would be a concern if we relied totally on Pritchard but it does not alter the fact he did have a part in the win and was not poor like you make him out to be.He was our biggest metre maker in the forwards like he has been in every game he has played.When you have the likes of Tilse doing 47 metres and his average is 63 a game were Pritchards average is 113 per game , I know who i would sooner have and would say that Tilse is not worth the money.I am relaxed we won and 4th

| Could be a close game if you play like you did for the first hour on Friday I think Wigan will win by 2-6 points.

| In relation to how many will make the trip to Wigan, I would suggest not many. It's at 8 o clock on a Monday night, it's one of the longest trips on the calendar and it's on tele. Add into that our recent form and there's not much to get people motivated to make the trip.
