I don’t think there’s a club that does more to show it’s class than Wigan at the moment. It’s driven by Rads by the looks of things and it’s something he can be extremely proud of. Every players milestones are celebrated, regardless of the club they play for.

It goes beyond that as well for me. Obviously we have the Sinfield and Burrow thing in the reception which we didn't need to do as neither have any connection to Wigan and we have displayed it for all to see rather than hide it away somewhere (we also auctioned our shirts off for MND which I didn't see any other club doing) but it's the whole way we conduct ourselves.

If the same thing happens to us next week (heaven forbid) as happene to Saints in 2019 with a poor VR call, do you think IL and KR write the article that McManus wrote? In fact, we didn't even mention it in 2017 IIRC after the Tony Clubb decision we just congratulated Hull and moved on.

We will never win some fans over regardless of what we do or the facts you put in front of them that dispels the myth they promote, we're hated for a reason, but we definitely can't ve accused as having no class.

R.I.P Maurice. I understand that Wigan RL existed before him but for me at 37 years old it didn't and he made Wigan RL and without him wouldn't have nowhere near as many fans in my age group. His front running vision has created a legacy that got thousands on board and he engaged with the fans too. Only the best was good enough.. He will be very sadly missed.

He needs a statue somewhere in the town. He put Wigan on the map.

I’m 38 mate and you’re bob on. Wigan Rugby League club has and continues to play a huge part in my life but had it not been for him I’m not sure I would be half as interested. I was mesmerised as a kid watching all the stars we had and he made it happen. One huge memory stands out as a 11/12 year old kid at Central Park that always caught my imagination and it wasn’t even in the 80 minutes! It was Henry Paul and Inga in the warm up throwing 40/50 yard passes to each other, some normal passes, some one handed, some flick passes out the back. I’d stand there and it felt like you were watching magicians.

God bless Maurice and rest in peace.

35 myself and feel the same way - RIP Maurice.

35 and feel the same way. Magical times at Central Park.
No other team will experience what we were so lucky to have back then.

I remember those passes as well! Bit older than 11 or 12 at the time though...
