Have a balanced squad while sticking to the salary cap. Get rid of the deadwood and plan for the long term.
I'd love Myler at Wigan, but I'd never go all out just for one player.

Think you took my post too literally.

What ever Lenegan is doing behind the scenes obviously isn't as yet making a difference, when Lenegan comes out with either a signing or a firing that makes a difference to the teams performance I'll be satisfied.

Sorry pal. What were you saying then?

Ins - Morley, Myler, Briscoe, LMS and Brian Smith (if not stick with Noble I'm sure he would do well with that team).

With a view to bringing Andrew Johns over for a few weeks to mentor both S.Tomkins and Myler after all he did mentor the NSW 7, Aussie Rah rahs and Benji Marshall.

Outs - Bailey, Coley, Phelps, Smith, Prescott (Loan), Pryce (Loan), Goulding (Loan), Flannagan (Loan), McIllorum (Month to Month loan).

We would win everything.

1- Briscoe
2- Roberts
3- Gleeson
4- Carmont
5- Richards
6- Tomkins
7- Myler
8- Fielden
9- Riddell
10- Morley
11- Hock
12- Tomkins / Hansen / Mossop
13- O'Loughlin

14- Leuluai
15- Palea'aesina
16- Tomkins / Hansen / Mossop
17- LMS

18- O'Carroll
19- Ainscough
20- Farrell

My fear is that irepairable damage is being done to the club and Lenegan is allowing it to continue.

I very much doubt that.
The thing that gives me the most comfort is Harlequins. Look at the difference between the state of the club when he took over and now.

Well apart from the recruitment of B McDermott and the work that Brian has done at Quins, for me that was the only good thing Lenegan did there. As for turning into Quins that in my eyes was a big mistake, they needed there own particular identity and now they don't but that's for another time.

I'd say taking a club on the brink to playoff certs (my opinion) is quite good.
As a Wigan fan I'd be more than happy with that.

i can't see what people want lenegan to do? If we sacked noble now there wouldnt be a respectable coach available and none would be likely to leave there clubs mid-season to come to a struggling wigan team.

We also can't just sack players off, and no one is likely to want the players we want rid.

I think if Nobles contract WASN'T out at the end of the season i would feel more inclined to give lenegan stick [if that makes sense] because then i would expect noble to be sacked. However when he is leaving at the end of the season anyway, the only realistic option is that noble is sacked, and wane takes over till the end of the season [which would be what i would do regardless i might add].

But then you've got a case of your still going to have to change coaches after the season as finished [more than likely] and for the 2nd half of the season when nobles teams usually perform, you'd have a very very inexperiences head coach running the team.


Nothing lenegan can do with the current situation that will please most of the fans.


And as for signings, yes he does need to make the right ones, but i can't really think of any signings that other sl have announced that i have thought we should have really gone for, and IL surely can't be blamed for out targets signing with other nrl clubs?

That's McDermott's work not Lenegan's, but I do agree there playoff certs especially with two games in hand.
