Can't see Coley & Bailey accepting one year deals when they could get longer contracts elsewhere.
If IL doesn't bring in quality signings this time around then the season ticket sales will drop and the weekly crowds go through the floor.
How long does it take to sign one quality prop for crying out loud!
Carvell has made a massive difference to the Wire pack and the team. Morley's game has lifted, Clarke is playing out of his skin and their pack is now a force to be reckoned with.
That's the difference one quality prop can make.
Sign two and your talking trophy time!
So why are we still waiting?

We haven't signed a prop or two because everyone we've looked at Lenegan has deemed wrong for Wigan, whether that's because there injured, past there best or simply want to much money, Lenegans been able to find fault in them all, it just makes you wonder what the fault was in Tronc's case.

i can find fault with both webb and o'meley but even with their faults they would still be better than our current first choice forwards (fielden and coley)

i just wish i knew what IL was playing at

2 good points, people are already talking about not renewing season tickets for next year, and Warringtons pack is the big worry in the semi, not the backs, we will struggle to match them up front.

like you say, we have them beat hands down in the backs (imo) but if our forwards get flattened then we will struggle

I can almost accept making no signings IF we resign the players who are off contract on 1 year deals, and also we bring in a new coach.

If we do not bring in a new coach and sign Phelps, Coley and Bailey for anything more than 2 years i seriously worry that my love affair with Wigan will come to an end.

So if we dont bring in anybody for next season..What was all this c£ap about "JUDGE ME IN 2010"

He knows what we want and its Bull theres no quality available

If we dont make the final, and dont make at least one major signing, I believe the fans will vote with their feet and attendances will drop dramatically next year,peoples patience is being pushed to its limit !!

I hope it's severely reduced season ticket prices, or Asotasi either will do, personaly I'd rather take the latter.
