Tinni hasn't actually said he is retiring has he? Wouldn't be shocked if he played on in the championship next year. Also Kirmo is possibly playing on next year and now has other business interests outside the game to keep him busy so doubt he'd be an option.

It was not Arona’s decision to leave Wakefield it was the club who decided for him. I guess it is up to him if he goes home or stays and plays elsewhere. To avoid being accused of making it up this was stated by WP in an article prior to his own removal.

The only connection between Peet and MA is that they were both promoted from their respective club’s academy coaching set up. The problem is that Peet has the Wigan squad and infrastructure to work with MA does not therefore you cannot assume what one did the other will be able to duplicate. This is where the club step in to provide the funds for squad strengthening and quality. I don’t expect a Wigan but what about a Salford, Hull KR or Castleford.

What exactly has MA got to work with then?

There is only one difference, the playing budget they had in the past and will have in the foreseeable future. The rest is identical but he will ignore facts.

We have a fully funded Academy so do Wigan.

To gain that we have to run it at the same level they do FACT.

Same coaching levels, same support staff, same facility levels. Please note Pimp, the Wigan academy do not train or play at the JJB as far as I know.

All pathways are identical.

Finally there is now a pathway to the reserves at Trinity. Our reserves play Wigan reserves this weekend in the reserve final.

So as you rightly ask, where is the difference?

I can only think of one other that is different. Applegarth has done the same as Peet but with less money and more importantly far less club prestige, both of which attract young players, I’d call that a truly massive achievement and an enormous plus for a club like us but rhubarb, sorry pimp won’t get that as he’s to busy hunting negatives.

I pretty sure that isn't true. There are many things different between Wigan and us apart from playing budget.
That seems really obvious to me so I'm thinking I'm misunderstanding what you meant.
