Sorry if its been mentioned, but rumour (on our board) is that Newton is coming back to wigan next year. He would at least inject some passion, but is not the player he once was and his return would surely spell the end of Micky Mc's time at wigan. Anyone heard the same?

it's been mentioned a couple of times, absolutely mistake if true imo. Riddell is here to stay as far as we know at the moment, and Leuluai needs to be moved to hooker pronto! MM has also played decently enough this year to warrant keeping him around for another year. Essentially hooker is an area where we have enough personnel, just need a bit better coaching/fitness training.

Yeah it has been mentioned a few times.

I don't believe it though.

Because we're Wigan. We don't have a clue when it comes to recruitment. That is why we are so sh^t.

It's so true.

Roberts
Riddell
Coley
Smith
Bailey
Phelps

All players in our current team, never mind previous years, none of those players who have bee signed are good enough to play in a Wigan RL team that can be a top 2 side. Roberts and Riddell I did not see much of before Wigan but none of them have impressed me.

Well so be it. It is true. A bit OTT but true.

Riddell's Missus wants to go back to Aus.
