I dread to think what would happen to alot of our fans if we ever found ourselves in the position that Wigan have been in over the last few years, and it's bound to happen at some point. There'll be people hanging themselves with scarves from the scaff!

A fair point well put!

They've managed to get rid of about seven players, the coach, the kitman, the mascot, the lady who makes the tea, the chairman, the groundsman, the medical staff, the barman and the coach driver.

I think that about covers it.

I bl**dy despair at some so called fans.

You've hit the nail on the head there Rogues they are exactly what you describe fans and not supporters. Supporters get behind causes such as Mike Gregory Steve Prescott etc and that's what the games all about after all the rantings of forward pass gerrem onside have passed. Don't despair every club has it's fans who are the first to criticise. Confidence with players comes from supporters getting behind them and encouraging them.

I think thats harsh.

His form dropped off after he suffered an injury, but even then he wasnt sh*te.

To some extent we have got used to expecting an explosive impact from him, so when his game drops off to the extent that the bang becomes a mere pop, we notice it more than perhaps another player.

What do you expect from a yard dog like that, anyway?

I'm sure he was comfy in Carvell's back pocket.

Maurie needs one good game and he will became the animal he once was. As for Frodsham, he isn't ready yet. Sam Burgess proved that.

He trys to smash people and run through people rather than running at gaps. Hes at his best when running at gaps and is much harder to stop.

The mascot is a bit naff though.

I wouldn't write him off but he needs to improve discipline and solidity. Our squad's thinness means he needs to be more than just an impact layer
