Wish Rob the Best, he needs to be involved with the game, lots to offer, further evidence the money the few Top Clubs have to spend on development, while many clubs have to cut back.

Another diamond we've let slip through our fingers, like Danny Orr and Dorny.

I do think that the choice was very much Rob's own decision, and the club supported him, after such a tragedy in his family, that is why he wanted to return to Cumbria, this new post, will be based in Cumbria.

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

Good luck to Rob is his new role. Keeping his involvement has got to be good news. Well done to Wigan too for the foresight they are showing.

What's deeply depressing is no one in London had the foresight to use Rob as an ambassador. The club's attitude and total lack of co-operation to his testimonial was evidence enough of their view. We have had some great players and some shocking CEOs, totally out of their depth, Brown, Hogg, Mackay all a waste of time. It's partly why we are where we are - Tommy Lee our best signing moving on, and Kaufusi thinking Crusaders represent a better opportunity than London

Harsh in the extreme on Paul Brown. I believe he did the spade work for our franchise, and as we all know
had to leave due to ill health before he had the opportunity to leave his mark.

We will never know of course but id suggest he would have made a decent fist of CEO
at the Broncos, unlike some.

We might have approached him, you don't know. It comes back to the age-old issue though of northern players not wanting to come down and make the move to play for us. The club may have taken the view that having Rob as an ambassador could be a real asset but if players were unwilling to take the plunge and move down south then it was a bit of a pointless exercise.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.

Re: Rob Purdham jions Wigan : Fri Sep 06, 2013 10:58 am  
Great to see Purdo back in RL as he has a lot to offer.

However, sounds a bit like Wigan attempting world domination (not a great analogy, but you know what I mean).

Would much rather see talented Cumbrians playing for a Cumbrian SL team
(or London!) :D

Brad Fitler "If the ref's decision decides your game. You haven't done enough prior."

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.



[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.

Re: Rob Purdham jions Wigan : Fri Sep 06, 2013 11:31 am  
Wigan, until recently, had a scout permanently based in Cumbria but he recently passed away. So i'm guessing that they were always going to be on the lookout for a replacement and Rob, with his connections to the amateur game up here, fits the bill nicely for them.
