Probably not,
But he is a Wigan supporter as is Kyle Eastmond and Chris Dean.

James Graham isn't, never has been and never will be a Wigan fan. His 2 passions in life are Everton and St Helens RLFC. His first ever rugby league game was watching Saints, with his dad, who then took him to Blackbrook, where he played all his junior rugby with Roby. Don't know any Blackbrook player who have ever been Wigan fans, but don't let facts get in the way on making you all feel better.

just got back from the reserve game and saw a certain Mr Brough in the stands watching the reserve game vs Leeds he left the stand just after half time and went into the main building and was with Nobby he was also with another person who i assume has something to do with the Wakefield management team as he was at the Wakefield Reserve game a few weeks ago now why would he be there and talking to Noble when we aren't playing Wakefield any time soon nor are Leeds to my knowledge. i've also posted this in the rumours section just wanted peoples opinions.

it could also mean Nobbys going to Wakey

What point exactly did I prove? That I had something else on other than going to watch the reserves?




If it is true, fair enough but until I read a confirming news bulletin that Danny Brough has signed for Wigan I will not treat this as a "signing".

I don't see why your getting so aggravated - we have so many rumours of 'definite player signings' on here you'd think we were the RL Real Madrid, and thus due to such b*llocks rumours 99% of the time most people - myself included choose not to believe any such rumour (like your's) until we see proof ie. an official announcement.

So this thread isnt called rumours or signings

Didn't think Graham was a Wigan fan

So a player is spotted watching a game and tricky dicky calls the signing

As for Graham to Saints.
1. Its a bitter pill for you all to swallow, but its a step down so thats a no no.
2. He wouldnt leave the club he loves.

So you lot win a match, and suddenly you're all back on the Wigan message board.

There was a suggestion on here a couple of weeks ago that McRae might be interesting the Wigan BOD.
After today's result he may be available sooner than we all thought.
Beggars belief that Noble's job is under threat and McRae could well still be safe!
When McRae first came over with the 1993/4 Kangaroos he was the fitness and conditioning coach. Nothing to do with tactics or team selection.
So why does anyone employ him as a first team coach?
The Wigan BOD would be out of their minds if they fired Noble and hired McRae as head coach!

To be honest, FT, I suspect that like most suggestions on here, that one owed more to deranged fantasy than reality.

But let's not lose sight of the wood for the trees. If Noble's Wigan team had played in the first half of the season like they always seem to play in the second, we'd probably have been in the last two grand finals. We could also be at the top of the table right now, instead of 5th, which is where we'll probably finish - again.
