Chill. I’m as happy as any to take the mick but parasites? Really?

I am more and more convinced it's going to be Wane.

He's passionate and knows how to motivate a team. He has said he would be interested. He understands the RFL, and how the SL clubs play. I think the hold up is the foreign holiday he's got booked with his wife. I think once he's back they'll announce him as interim until the end of the season with a view to a three year contract following.

Those 20 league victories in a row really got to you didn't they?

Yep, they certainly did. I mean, come on, I’m gutted that I don’t support a club that’s won a Regal Trophy and a shield in 33 years.

They got you what exactly? 40 points and something to serve the glasses of Lambrini off in one of your 'Corporate' (guffaw) facilities?

The reason we keep theWestern Terrace is to make them feel more at home.

Not as much as this one got to your lot

Time to stop living off past glories people, however comforting this may be.

The result was great but it was a poor spectacle... Other than the personal stories of McGuire going out on a high and Stevie Ward being victorious despite playing injured (great to see him smiling in that pic), this is my least favourite GF win. It papered over the cracks and convinced GH that Myler, Dwyer and Peteru was adequate recruitment to add to a 'champion side', which ended up failing dismally in 2018.

Back on topic, whatever Powell's personal animosity against Leeds (GH did effectively sack him, in a round about way), it would be great to have him back to bring through the current crop of kids. Jesus, some people hold this against Powell while wishing for Shaun Wane, who bleeds Wigan and seemingly hated Leeds in the past. I know which one I'd prefer.
