[quote="Trainman"]It’s about time we stopped the Lam bashing. He’s in the past now and we should be looking to the future.

He may be a poor coach, he may not. What’s clear is he wasn’t a good fit at Wigan. We’ve seen it plenty of times before, a coach can look one of the best at one club and it for a multitude of reasons doesn’t work at another. Millward being a prime example.


Correct, but what Coach, even Peet would have been a good fit at Wigan with the squad that he had during the last couple of seasons or so?

Peet has been made Coach and the club has backed him up by making what appears to be some better signings both on the playing and non playing side and some of the poorer player signings which were made a couple of seasons or so ago have left the club.

The confidence of many supporters about next season will be expressed in the sale of season tickets!

p.s. Millward was a far worse Coach as unlike Lam, he had a squad of better quality players which included Radlinski and nearly got the club relegated which was never the case with Lam.

Wrong and wrong

Bookies, fans had Wigan has top 2/3 in the betting (99% said between 1st and 3rd) at start of each season
The squads weren't perfect, but they were far better than the performances he got out of them

Radlinski had retired and AFAIK remember never played for Millward
Farrell/O'Connor/cassidy etc also had left the club and thee experience in the team/Wigan old guard had gone.

As for this year's squad, 1st of all a lot of posters have been slagging the club off for the squad thisvyear and now after really what an only be said as 1 signing you didn't know about (Cust) your now saying its better than previous years, I don't know where to start.

[quote="Jukesays"]


During the time that Milward was Coach between May 2005 to April 2006, Radlinski was a member of the squad until he retired in March 2006, but in June came back to play for the remainder of the season at no cost to the club.

And where have I said anything about former players like Mick Cassidy and Andy Farrell?

Finally, are you saying that the signings of Bullock, Clarke, Hankinson etc who have all departed after only a couple of seasons or so were better than the signings for this season like Cust, Ellis, Mago, Minski, Silva, three of whom unlike the ones I have said, have had experience in the NRL.

If you recall, at the the time of the signings of Bullock, Clarke and Hankinson etc, I got shot down in flames by some on here which included yourself for saying the club was making poor signings.

The signings made for this season are a big improvement on what the club has signed in the last three seasons or so and more in line with what supporters expect at the club.

Hopefully, we will have a better season!

Jai Field nowhere to be seen in the pre season training photos despite Peet saying he was fit and raring to go. The internationals and Mago/Cust/French understandably to join later on but no reason Field shouldn't be there. Not sure if anyone saw the John Davidson piece recently suggesting Wigan were trying to offload him.


Hope he does stay as just keen to see what he can do for us, especially with his speed which could combine nicely with good ball from Cust.

Granted, but look at some of the others who have come and gone in the past three seasons and in one more recent and notable case, chose not to return and instead go to another local club in spite of being a Wiganer!

No wonder, they asked Wane to return!
