The Tommy stuff if true is when the Madge issue could turn a little nasty, hopefully its all speculation. If Tommy left id be happy with Dobson as his replacement, leaving us to sign a hooker as well to partner McIllorum.

Losing Tommy would be a bit of a double-whammy, as it strikes both at our halfback strength and our hooking strength.

Currently I'm treating all this as newspaper talk, but I agree, if Maguire attempts to lure a Wigan player while he's still mid-contract, that will definitely tarnish his image in my eyes.

Souths don't seem to be doing too well luring Australia-based talent. I wonder why?

I think its clear to see for anyone who uses Twitter. Madge apparently values the privacy with which IL treats club issues. I wonder if he knows what he has let himself in for.

If we could replace Tommy with a good 7 & 9 and still secure a centre, id be fairly happy. I would prefer to lose Finch and recruit a 1, 3 and 7 however.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Whilst Finch hasn't set the world on fire he's still not been half as bad as some make out.

He's getting better week in and week out.

Some Wigan fans just have no clue.

No matter how well we're doing, we always need a scapegoat.

It really is pathetic isn't it.
We have a quality half back getting pelters from fans and IMO the most dangerous fullback in the league on his day, who has been shouted at to 'bugger off home, he's useless' numerous times.
Crazy

I have a feeling that Finch will be having some Wiganers eating their words over the next few months, the guy is getting better each game no doubt.

But we've got Roberts, and Pryce is still in the books. Why on earth do we need to resort to Finch?!?!?!

Champion is discussing terms with Titans, same with Myles. The Tommy to Souths rumour is hotting up, supposedly his brother is moving back to NZ/Aus and stated he's heading back with Tommy.

Neither are plating regularly so Finch is the target. If Finch doesn't play then we can aim all our bile at Lima again. If finch doesn't play and Lima is suspended then the abuse will move on to Hansen, and so on.....
