| Quote Was the Wigan club I left different to the one I joined?"Was the Wigan club I left different to the one I joined?".
"The answer is a resounding yes. As well as the high – at times alarming – turnover of key pivotal players and coaches during my years at Wigan, I noticed the culture of the club eroded – and it was not one coach's fault. It was a gradual and inexplicable shift, from the Wigan I joined to the Wigan I left. When I went into the first team there was a very strong culture in place. There seemed to be more passion, a clearer direction, a hungrier work ethic and mutual respect in comparison to the culture present at the club when I left."'"
Kris Radlinski.

No surprises there. Not only did we lose Farrell, Radlinski, Lam, O'Connor, Pongia, Smith & Cassidy on the field, we lost them as club figureheads too.
Andy Farrell ran the show at Wigan. All the players looked up to him and he was an enforcer of type in the dressing room. When he left, a few 'players' became disruptive with what they did within the club and out of the club and dragged a few of the more easily led players with them.

To save me looking on Bilko's site, was Dennis Moran around when Mike Gregory was?

He was signed when Mike was in his last year when Betts was running the team and Mike was not well

I think when Faz was around all the players had a mixture of respect and fear of him, which make him the perfect leader. I think that has been missed since he's left(not having a pop at Lockers) also with the loss of them senior players all within a year or two would have added to the downfall.

| We lost to many players and coaching staff in to short a time
Mike Gregory, Dennis Betts.
Faz, Rads, O'Conner, Cassidy, Lam, Newton.
And they are just the ones off the top of my head. Oh and for all the ones who want Lam as coach he was the one that recommended we get Moran.

Lazy b*tch. Errr it's arguable whether Gregory was still pulling the strings during Betts' temporary control but it was in that spell that he signed in 2005.
