Look's like they could be moving one of their games again to accomodate their more popular tenants.

I very rarely read the Wigan forum but i thought i would have a quick look to see what comedy posts were knocking about after last nights loss to Cas, i then came acoss this on their board and it seems to be genuine.

Not only are Wigan a laughing stock on the pitch it also seems they are a laughing stock off it as well, have a look at their 2 new signings O`Gloughlin and Jimmy Riddle.

Thats fluffling ridiculous, especially when you get ppl complaining about our club shop.

Bit early to write them off, but it does show how dependent they were on Barrett. On the other hand, I seem to recall many a whinge on here when PC left because we did not hire a 'proven winner' as a coach. Wigan have now hired two 'proven winners' in Millward and Noble and where has it got them?

What has happened to Wigan at all.Once the biggest club in rugby league and attracting all the top players.

The rest of the teams went full time, when Wigan we're a dominant force they had the pick of the players and trained full time, everyone else was part time.

You'll have the wigan trolls onto you to remind you that Leeds went full time first and how we were all on a level playing field in that we could all spend money we couldn't afford to spend (even though they were able to spend more of it). Actually, thinking about it, when was the last time a wigan troll paid a visit?

jonh - friend of this board and all round genius - has made himself look a bit silly (again). He didn't actually see the game but has plenty to say about it. I appreciate he is a know-all but...
