Probably the same place it got Leeds (and Wigan themselves) from the late 80s through the 90s and onward to the brink of bankruptcy...

Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

As a business model perhaps as a rich man's plaything I doubt it.

Ian Lenagan's worth a bob or two, isn't he?

He may well be, but how much of it is he willing to spend propping up an unsustainable business model? Even the Abramovich's of the world realise that there comes a time when the baby has to learn to walk on its own two feet rather than being carried everywhere by its (sugar) daddy.

That would depend initially and in the short term if Lenagan (like Whelan before him) feels constrained by the present salary cap. An extra million here or there in wages may even be affordable against anticipated levels of potential turnover.

Hopefully the RFL will have none of it, not for Wigan's sake but for the sake of the game at large.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Remember the padded cycling shorts he used to wear in his Bulls days? Jonathon Davis came out with a cracker during a CC game, "it's like trying to tackle someone with two sofas strapped to his legs".

I do remember him scoring during a particularly humiliating CC semi defeat to the Dulls though.

Not just scoring, but scoring a hat trick. The lad was complete gash though, that semi notwithstanding.
