What a great way to start our semi final week. Can't understand why this wasn't done last week when we did not have a game?

There is only 1 i in Greg Inglis!

The quality in our squad is dwindling away. The last time we saw this Jack robinson was chairman.

Next seasons departures will be hansen and josh replaced by players from which ever team are relegated.

Has Bowen been confirmed as yet? With Sam and the others leaving you must have a massive amount of salary cap left to throw at some proper stars and I can't see players like Sarginson and Clubb taking up much!
For another point has Sams departure even been confirmed? Perhaps you've managed to keep him?

Wigan Warriors are set to announce TODAY, that Sam Tomkins will leave the club for NZ Warriors in 2014 and beyond.

It looks like we're going to take a bit of a gamble here hoping that the emotion of all this will fire the team on Friday. Lets hope so.

What we expecting the positive announcements to be? Bowen, Sarginson and Clubb seem safe bets but anything else? Contract extensions? Hansen would be nice.

I did read on Total RL the other day a Welsh league fan saying a very positive announcement will be made in regards to Welsh RL this week. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with us with our link up. Maybe we've invested in South Wales. Just putting 2 and 2 together here.

what time is doomsday expected? are we expecting any other big signings apart from bowen? to be fair i can imagine any cap space we have left has gone towards getting bowen here.

A New Zealand Warriors Forum states the Wigan Club will announce at 3pm today the departure of Sam to NZW and at the same time will announce the signing of Bowen from Gold Coast Titans.

The timing of the announcement is probably to give fans the last chance to see Sam in a Wigan shirt at the DW thereby increasing the gate on Friday.

not the most reliable source as bowen plays for cowboys and not titans haha, also the same poster said the presser was yesterday.

usually we get a half decent announcement that there will be more announcements to follow so surely somebody has the correct information or a twitter feed to follow the conference.
