Young players salaries have increased.

Well yes if you read this you were annoying, making comments under your breath all time haha.
"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

I was always expecting 2010 to be the earliest when we could expect to be challenging Leeds and Saints again as this is when we can really do something with the squad.

...and contract extensions apparently

I actually enjoyed listening to Noble far more than anybody else there. He needs a forum just for playing issues. I just cannot accept him using Joel as an example of planning. Joel did not suffer when he came in under Millward. He even had offloading skills then. In the Alliance pre his Widnes loan, Joel was in awesome form. It was partly interrupted by injury when he broke a bone in his hand defending himself from Matty Smith but he was ignored when he was in great form. He lost motivation. Noble publicly stated that he did not expect Joel to play in 2008 and if Lockers had not been injured he would not have played. The reason he got better and better was that he got a run of games to adjust to the pace of SL.
Will Lee Mossop play in 2009? No. He will go out on loan. Lee was dropped in favour of Tuson in 2008 and the reason, he played too much like a prop in his previous SL game.
yeh was deanery mate!! iv actually spoken to you alot on other forum aswell!!
well i suppose well find out this yr how true noble is to his word!!

Don't know why people thought any different about the Stadium usage to be honest. DW owns the stadium so he gets to dictate what is what. It's common sense really.
I would hope common sense would prevail (even for him) and that he would request the FA Cup game to be played on the Sunday.
Won't hold my breath though!

Aye i'm only having a laugh, she told lenagan what she thought so fair play just was a bit annoying at time.
