I guess this is in response to my comment. Well, all I can say is that we all hear different stories. I certainly can’t confirm that when I hear tales about how difficult and irritating a certain group of friends have on occasion been behind the scenes at our club, it’s absolute fact. But I don’t think players should always be given the benefit of the doubt just because they have sometimes done great things on the field.

Do I want to see George Williams back? We’re going to need a halfback and he’s a great talent. I doubt he’d perform at his NRL standard if he returned, because no one seems to. Even a Trojan like Bateman is a shadow of what he was, but we’d look ridiculous if GW went somewhere else.

For me the biggest priority is finding a new coach. Lammy’s time here has been devastated by the Covid crisis, but even though we have a good win/lose ratio on paper, we all know that our current performances are full of glaring weaknesses.

As a matter of priority, we need a Graham Lowe-type coach. Not necessarily a revolutionary innovator (though that would be nice) but a disciplinarian, and this ties in with what I said before. Someone who will whip our boys into shape and get the best out of them (much as Madge did with Noble’s underachieving team), and ensure that they are all committed to the Wigan cause for the duration of their contracts whether they want to be or not.


You mean a coach like Shaun Wane?

I’ve just heard we’re after Danny Richardson! Don’t shoot the messenger but if that’s true it suggests we’ve lost Williams to Warrington. Oh I really hope not!!

Not sure which is worse. Not signing Williams or signing Richardson.

I think the longer we hear no news on the positive front re Williams then unfortunately I think he will end up at Wire. I spoke to guy yesterday connected to Warrington and he was stating that Williams had signed for Wire on a massive annual contract.

I've beaten the drum for years for a decent kicker but geeze Richardson has never entered my thought process.

That would be unbelievably depressing.

I can't see it happening mainly because how bad his defence is and that just wouldn't cut it at Wigan.

If it’s true or not I can see merit to it.

Hopefully we sign Williams.

Next year assuming TL retires that would leave us with only 2 halves in the squad.

If we could get Richardson or someone like him on a contract that works for us would it be such a bad thing?

We need a backup half signing in the squad for next year. If it were Richardson I wouldn’t be too put out or maybe someone Joe Mellor.

Aren’t Danny Richardson and Harry Smith related? (Or have I dreamt that simply because they’re from Widnes?) If you had a proper pack for them to play on the back of then they’d have their good spells but defensively it could be a nightmare and on the back of this pack, it could be an absolute disaster some weeks.

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

Cousins I believe, didn't they play for England Knights together? I'm sure it was mentioned then.
