Everyone will have their own take on this and some will think I am wrong but all I can do is assure you that the supporters have always been appreciated from the people at the top and it is now my job to ensure that link is there so that your thoughts and observations will be taken on board by David and Jason.

I can see a number of clubs struggling to pay their players, with few spectators, as money will be tight. After the restrictions are lifted we could well have wall to wall sport for up to 18 months with all the major sports fighting for airtime and supporters. Some, like cricket, have no wiggle room at all but for the rest we could see lots of hybrid/Frankenstein seasons all overlapping.

Schoey was at his peak around that time and I loved watching him play in the halves and as you say we did play some great stuff but "When they were on..." is an important caveat from that period. Shame but for all the spectacular rugby and tries scored I always seem to look back on those seasons with bad memories of the times when they clearly weren't up for it. In particular I recall a bad loss at Oldham who simply had more heart for the battle than us (I think that was in 1993). Читать дальше...

For all those people now faced with the prospect of having to self insulate and wondering how best to spend the time, can I suggest something that is interesting, enjoyable. educational and cheap. It is to start work on writing a novel based on your own life and times. This is something that I started to do back in 1988.
It was inspired by three things. Firstly my knowledge and love of rugby league, its history and many characters, secondly having a family tree going back to 1777 and thirdly the... Читать дальше...

The names told to me by The Chad himself are the ones I used in the tale.....There's more Chad tales. The Chad was about to leave Knutsford Services in a car he had loaned from a mate...He was having difficulty finding the key to open the door and noticed a Motorway Patrol car containing two officers of the law looking at him. Chad was of the opinion that perhaps old bill thought he had stolen the vehicle....Never one to miss an opportunity to have a laugh and cause a little mischief Chad sets off... Читать дальше...

Seen this mentioned in the press (from SL). Basically makes any rugby that is played pointless (Although I am not optimistic any will be played soon)

Wigan rugby reporter is struggling to write something, given that there is no rugby on. Rings up the club to ask how the players are getting on, keeping fit, etc. Someone comments that Willie Isa has signed up as a volunteer, mentioned in a players' whatapp group or something.

Reporter thinks, "there's a story in this. Reflects well on rugby players, particularly as footballers are spending their time crashing cars in anti-lockdown parties. Also, might encourage others into a greater community spirit. Читать дальше...

There are more important things going on......but i dont think that should stop people discussing our club. Do we all fall into silence because of the virus

I for one quite enjoy analysing and giving thought to how our club can improve, or where it could of done better.

TBF my missus received a ring from the club as she's got MS, such a small gesture but so well received and potentially very handy for folk living on their own. who may not have anyone to look after them / talk to.

Lovely stuff.

No chance of an Oz coach coming over here until at least back end of the year due to the current climate so for now it’s Andy Last and Purtill.Ive no issues with this for 2020 as too much going on,and finances will be at breaking point.Last has took over at the worst possible time so for me gets the gig for the rest of the year at least

Wondered how long it would take them?
If the games/season somehow get completed, then how about the super league becoming a 14 team competition for 2021?

Do you think we should have unlimited substitutions and maybe a few more on the bench if we have midweek fixture etc to ease the load on the players if we have a fixture pile up?
