"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

No doubt that Soward would be the real coup there.


Definitely, he would be a superb signing from what I've seen of him. Smith had other offers but has chosen us due to the enthusiasm and ambition shown by our Head Coach and Chairman

Well i'm assuming that at least one is incorrect or else why would we still be in the hunt for Soward??

Unless the Soward deal is a smokescreen??

Oh, I don't know....I need a lie down!! :FEVER:

I don't have an issue with Smith or Brough I think their good players at a certain level, but it's the players they will be replacing which is the sad part big step backwards. But Soward would be a quality signing IF he played to his potential.

As I said, I know the Smith deal is true. All I know about Soward is we've held talks with his representatives so whether he 1) wants to leave 2) to Wigan I haven't a clue. All I've heard about Brough is rumours

Smith has signed for you, Brough hasn't and you're in talks with Soward.

Not really he's a decent player. If you can bring Soward over and use him to run off Smith's distribution you'll have another year of dominance up your sleeves.

People may make comments about it but I got your recruitment spot on last year before it was announced and I'll do the same this year. It's up to you whether you decide to listen to it or not, that's your choice.
