Sorry just seen other part of the thread but I heard it too.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Ironic isn't it when people criticise Wigan for letting go so much 'outstanding British talent' when in reality the only player most fans really wanted to keep is an Australian.
With a little more recruitment, Hull Kr could well be a threat for the trophies by building a team around him.

People are ready and willing to forgive mistakes/deficiencies in S Tomkis and Ainscoughs games (rightly so) but after another season will they be writing them off like Goulding if they have not become England internationals?
I know Gleeson is a good player but I think Goulding will be one day and this will be seen as Wigan letting young players go for older players not produced by the club. If Gleeson is only to be signed for 2010 won't he be 30?

Agreed!
I'll be very disappointed if we allow Goulding to leave. There's really no reason to get rid, when we have the likes of Phelps at our club, who have already reached their potential.
Karmichael Hunt, I reckon there's more chance us signing Gene Hunt.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
He's a decent player but vastly over-rated and with Roberts and Richards on long term deals along with the emergance of Ainscough we don't need a fullback and he isn't an out and out halfback.
He'd also be on a wedge and looks to be abit of a tit.

Me too
Our back 3 is pretty much settled and give Roberts a decent centre and we will have near enough the best back 3 in the league
Hunt is not a half back and if he was going to convert he would need a Lockyer or Orford next to him
