But Ian, WE ARE CRYING OUT FOR SOME BIG FORWARDS!
Assuming this team is properly prepared and coached then we would be so nearly there if you can make the two signings we need. Two signings of big, mean, nasty forwards who can give this Wigan side the steel and go-forward it so desperately needs. Just two players and I honestly believe we can bring some trophies home. Especially if Gareth Hock also makes a return in two years.
Sir, I implore you - knowing that you want the success to return to Wigan just as much as any other fan - get the cheque book out and make it happen.

Steady on. At this rate you'll be arranging a two year extension to BN's contract!!
Saying that, if he wins the CC and the Grand Final, who would want rid?

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”

We need to improve in this area not remain 'consistent'
Well just watching the highlights on the superleague website and I know it's a given but we should get rid of Fielden he's dominated in every tackle, as for Coley your right if we want to move forward then we have to replace him with someone better, and that's they key someone better not just as good. Although what might get Coley a new deal is the fact that not many good props are available, yesterdays game we were under pressure so much in the second half because we didn't have the big frontrowers to get us out of are danger zone, and as for Bailey he can go waste of a quota spot and no doubt he's on a large salary.
Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

We need additions to the squad, not replacements.
According to one respected member of this board and sources of mine that have since confirmed it, we may well have signed one very good frontrower. But I believe we need at least two quality additions to the forward pack with no departures in this area.
