Noble is nearly always at reserve/academy games. It's his job to look at the youngsters and see how they're going on himself instead of relying on other peoples opinions.

Your making a rumour about nothing. What's next? Will you see Adrian Morley in Robin Park JD so he must be holding talk's with IL and BN about signing for 2010?

well we all know the club has a table on standby at Frankie and Benny's for any signings

Ellery was at the game last night

He was a guest, think it was part of the new 'past players assoc.', Mark Preston was also there.

2010 additions:


10) Darrell Griffin

Position – Prop
Squad Number - 10
Rep Honours – England (2005-present)
Weight - 113.5kg
Height - 193 cm
Place of Birth - Oxford
D.O.B - 19/06/1981

2008 was a great season for Griffin and resulted in him being selected for England to face Wales in a World Cup warm-up clash, with Griffin narrowly missing out on a place in the 24 man squad. His blockbusting carries are often complimented with a steely hard working defensive game and deft handling, and he is sure to lead the charge for the claret and gold in 2009. With huge physical presence, ‘Griff’ knows his way to the try line and his two tries in Round 8 helped the Giants to a famous home win over St Helens. He will be looking to back up his efforts from 2008 onto the engage Super League XIV campaign and continue to establish himself as one of the top front rowers around.

The Scottish Captain returned to Belle Vue last season after spells with York City Knights, Hull FC and Castleford Tigers. Brough was arguably the stand-out performer for the Wildcats last year and his success earned him the captaincy of the Scotland team which travelled to the World Cup in the Autumn. The scrum-half’s form last year saw him awarded the Albert Goldthorpe Trophy by the League Express for his consistent performances throughout the season. With one of the best kicking games in the game, Brough will no doubt be leading the Wildcats attack in 2009.

I know this, every single young player in the game is a wigan fan. Even Jarrod Hayne has every wigan home shirt since 1985

Indeed. I was there and can confirm I'm not signing for the club.
