why a bad joke? fair enough his defence may be not that good, he kicked 87 goals, i would imagine it would have been more if Bradford had scored more tries, he made 316 tackles, 303 carries only 5 less than Pat, 47 tackle busts 23 more than Pat, he might have come up with a lot of handling errors and a few missed tackles, but surely that can be put right under a quality coach, he gave away a few penaltys but Hock does this as well and nothing hardly gets said, the days have gone were we can afford such class players Offiah, Robinson, Dallas etc, with the right coaching Ah Van could be a very good player, look at our signings for this year, how many have been proved wrong since the pre season so far.

Ah Van is terrible dont want him anywhere near a Wigan shirt does ok against very poor teams doesn't show up against good sides

I seem to recall Pat Richards and Piggy being crap and getting slagged off every week, i'm not saying he would be as good as either of these or that he would be a world beater, but with more important positions up for grabs at the end of the season we might not have had much cap space left and he could have been a bargain buy and with some top class coaching and conditioning could have maybe been a decent purchase, more for his kicking than anything else besides as stated earlier pats still here next year so it don't really matter

This guy really is serious, isn't he...

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:33 pm  

Ah Van is up there with the worst players in the league. I'd actually consider having Mathers back before him.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:55 pm  

Not in a million years and Pat's contract isn't up until the end of next season anyway.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:23 pm  

Would like to see Pat getting a 2 year extension to the end of his contract

Gareth Ellis is heading home after this season.
Can't see him at Wigan with all our backrowers. Where's he off?

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Tue Feb 28, 2012 7:40 am  

well Ellis will be 32 next year so he is probably "too young" to be signed up by Warrington.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:05 am  

Ellis to Warrington sounds about right. Gotta keep their average age over 30

I wouldnt have him at Wigan unless he was 6 years younger and then would play him at centre.

He had top class conditioning and coaching in the NRL
