Usually, it works out that by round 10 the position which a team is in is where they are likely to end up at or around come the end of the season. But that's just a rule of thumb as some clubs have a burst of end of season form either due to getting a new coach or getting back players who've missed out through injury.

Great effort by Hargreaves.



I thought Koppy really stood up last night and made good yards.

Richard Moore has a cracking CV but I don't rate his chances of coaching Wigan.

I really belive we need to start signing some real quality, weve gone for a larger squad this year, but i think we have good enough juniors to cover our senior players. If we want to get back to the top we need to sign quality, take a leaf out of Huddersfield and Warrington's book, Monaghan, O'Donnell, King, Fa'alogo ect qaulity players make quality sides. I think our fans over rate SOME of our senior players, when in reality they are nothing more than average.

It's also true that quality teams attract better players. When the cap is tight and there are many clubs competing for the same signatures, the hope, maybe expectation, of a pot or two is always going to be a big incentive to guys like the players you mention. Sadly, full cap or not, that is one thing we can't offer at the moment.

Funnily enough, around this time last year, weren't knocking on the top four, until the beginning of May when Mr. Orford got injured and took his leave?

Not that I'd change last year's team for this (apart from Steve Menzies), since we know what happened after May.

WLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWL is a lot better than our record of LLLLLLLLLLLLLL last season!!

LLLLLOLLLLL

Only thing is we are due a win this weekend against salford and a loose against leeds!!

To be fair at the start of the season that is what I would have expected anyway! A win against Leeds is going to be a bonus!

Yes that is true, but as a bradford lad and fan, you always want to beat leeds in which ever sport it is

I always appreciate seeing your comments tiger you pull out some funny 1 liners

I was there. You're wrong.



HTH.

The thing is, you have to assume - from the playing rosta of their clubs - that many of these guys must be prepared to play for clubs like Wire and Hudds on packages considerably less than they would likely be able to command if, say, they signed with us? This must surely be so, give the level playing field of the salary cap and the absolute certainty that no club will be finding ways to avoid the cap?
