Out of order? Come off it. Clubb does 15-20mins per game and makes little no no impact whatsoever. Clubb was a decent prop for us. He isn’t anymore. He’s deadwood and a drain on the cap, as GB has been this season. The decision to offer him a contract extension was bizarre. It’s long overdue he moves on, good servant for the club, as Flower was too - but times time.

You have nailed it there mate, well apart from the 15-20 minutes. Would stretch to 15 at a push.

Unbelievable that some can be so nasty towards a player who has been not only a good signing but a loyal club player in spite of having a bad and long term ailment and who in return has been supported by the club in retaining him as part of the squad until such time like Flower he moves to another club or like O'Loughlin and his injuries retires

Thank goodness the nastiness is confine to the usual ignorant minority on here and not the the vast majority of more respectful Wigan supporters!

My comment about Kibula coming from Africa have as usual been take out of context as I was only trying to say that for a lad of his size, you would think that he would have more aggression.

Perhaps I should not have mention were he came from as I should have known that it would offend the some of those who come on the website.

What context were you trying to speak in other than genaralising that all lads from the DRC are aggressive?

What context should it have been taken in and why is his place of birth a factor in his aggression levels?

"For a lad of his size he should have more aggression" correct. So why mention where he comes from?

The players who are leaving Wigan. Out of a total of 22 games played Joe Burgess played 13 Ben Flower played 9 Joe Greenwood played 9 Sean O'Loughlin played 8 Jake Shorrocks played 2 Jack Wells played 2 Harry Rushton played 1 Josh Woods played 0 Romain Navarrete played 0 Morgan Escare played 0 Of those rumoured to be leaving George Burgess played 8 Mitch Clarke played 9 Chris Hankinson played 3 http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=4961 With no reserves and no dual reg and a host of good young forwards it makes a lot of sense to trim the squad. My concern is really over the wing position, over the last 10 years we have brought players like Charnley, Burgess, Marshall, Manfredi, and Davies through from the academy so always had cover. I don't see anyone in our academy ready to step up yet especially with Marshall probably being out until June. I'd try to bring Tom Davies back, I know we are looking to strengthen that position.

The irony and hypocrisy in your posts is utterly astounding. I don’t know how you do it. You’ve gone from dying on the “Kibula should be more aggressive cos he’s black and from Congo” hill to now dying in the “you shouldn’t be so nasty to players who have long term injuries despite me being nasty to GB who also has a long term injury” hill.

You’re bringing in Flower and Lockers to deflect as you cannot, with a straight face, sit and say Clubb in the last few seasons has been anything more than dead wood.

No you shouldn’t have mentioned where he was from as it has absolutely no relevance whatsoever. That last comment is a clear and intentioned dig at the “left” as you’ve commented before. If you can’t make a comment about a player of a different skin colour and/or origin to you without making reference to his origins you’re a plain racist. It’s as simple as that.

I await the “but I had Hanley on the back of my shirt and an Offiah poster”

Aye. That’s it pal, you blame everyone else for being snowflakes or something similar. It’s us that are the problem, not your comments

Stick to your strong points , overt racism and homophobia. To intimate that you are part of the respectful majority is pathetic.
