Of course it is. Wigan will still be relatively successful because of their youth system, but it's clear the club is doing something wrong as it never keeps any of it's stars, they all go.

Now come come you know that’s not true, Sam Tomkins for one, and Tommy Leuluai was in a mad rush wasn’t he? Anyway as we all know everything put together sooner or later falls apart! Take a look at your own.

AH yes, but ours was lovingly put together and lasted for many years. Yours was knocked together by a couple of cowboys and only lasted a few years.

Yeah as lovingly put together as your new stadium that nearly blew away. It strikes me your club has just as many ups and downs as any other, and by the looks of it just as many silly pointless post like yours.

You will not be getting anywhere near the amount you suggest for Hock. Believe me!

If Hock or mossop do decide to go ( or both) then I honestly think wigans two year revival will be over. They have lost to many good players and replaced with IMO mediocre players.

Lulu, finch and carmont are massive massive losses and Green, Hughes and Smith ain't in the same league as them. If you then add mossop or Hock to them, I think it's to many good players gone with a lack of quality to replace them.

No team in Superleague are going to be replacing their best players with similar quality. So long as their young enough the similar quality ones will be off too! This will happen to us all. The game will decline etc etc

What's the point in getting big fees for selling all your best players when there's noone available of vaguely the same quality you can sign to replace them? At least we have our own shiny new stadium generating us lots of nice income meaning we don't have to sell our best players to make ends meet

Wigan arent selling their best players to make ends meet. Theyre selling them as they dont really have a choice

Why don't they have a choice if it isn't financial? Hock, for example, is still under contract. Therefore there was no need to let him go. Unless he has been a naughty boy or something, the only reason a club would let what they consider to be one of their best players go before their contract is up is finance, either to afford the purchase of another player or to free up the salary of the one they are selling.
