I'm starting to speculate which Stains or Dire troll Mash Butty is.

Far too many people were too quick to judge him imo. Showing his class now though.

My thoughts exactly.

I can't believe what I've read on this thread? Finch is really coming good and reminds me of when Pat first came. An indifferent start but worth his weight in gold now!!
Marsh is not a bad player but for me he's nowhere near good enough for Wigan and doesn't have the potential to be. Simple fact is that Madge has been right in his selections for me. Hoff has been a brilliant player for us, Lima has really come good again after a dodgy start and Finch is really leading us round the park.
Joel is a 2nd rower but better in centre than marsh. Goulding has played over 100 games and is a very capable squad player. Charnley is setting that wing on fire! Out of all of them, I'd let marsh go elsewhere and keep the others.

Our overseas signings are not the standard that they once where, Finch Vs Barrett
We can't attract the likes of Trent Barrett anymore. Look at the 90s, we sold Longy and kept Henry Paul, at the time it made sense, Henry was the better player, but he left, Longy won a million trophies with the Saints. Longy is home grown, and may have shown Wigan the loyalty that he shown the saints. Henry wanted money, hence the move the union.
Signing Ozzies is a dangerous and expensive policy. Our young players should be allowed to make mistakes and learn.
We need to develop our youth, is this so difficult to understand?
I wish the fans would show more loyalty to the Wigan lads than the expensive Ozzies. Its lunacy

We are developing our youth.

You keep going on about Finch - we don't have a home-grown half back to take his place (or if we put Sam there, we don't have a home-grown fullback).

Same with Lima, he's not keeping a home-grown prop out.

Hoffman, maybe, but if you're saying Tuson or Farrell is a better player, you're mistaken.

The players keeping Goulding and Marsh out are Charnley and Joel T.

No you're wrong, we have no English players in our team, no youth policy, and our youth teams never win trophies. It's a wonder we aren't thrown out of the league for breaking the spirit of playing homegrown players.

The sad fact is, there isn't enough English players of the required quality to play an all English team. There is no ifs or buts about this. MB would you rather Wigan played with an all English squad (that would have to include some players who really aren't at the required level yet) and finished 5/6 or would you rather we used the squad we have now and won the league AGAIN?

I'm fairly sure this Mash Butty guy was sat in front of me at the Castleford match, all the guy kept going on about was how there's no point signing players from Oz because the ones we've signed don't do any better than local lads.
His crazy words, not mine.
