Not Mathers then?

Although Mathers is considered by many to be best FB ever to play for the Wire in Wigan he was generally considered to be pretty shoite so no, he wouldn't be considered to be one of our better FBs.

your joking right?

No why?

Has Sam been ripping up trees down in the south of France? If he has i must have missed it and i have seen every Catalans game this season for 80 mins. An ageing player with hardly any pace on top dollar wages or a much younger Man Of Steel winner defensively sound, positionally sound and much better attacker (with the right team around him)

I know where my money is. Each to their own though. Its your view and you are entitled to it.

Both Rads and Hampo were defensively superb. But for me so is Zak, not just under the highball, but his defensive positioning and 1 on 1 defence. I mean, look at his 1 on 1 try save v Wire, was outstanding.

He tracked back to make the tackle though, he should have been better positioned to either front up or side on. I think Zac is still trying to find his positional play and it will come, but I think too often he leaves himself to much to do when sliding across the back of the defensive line

A few people mention that tackle but apart from that he has definitely "gone missing" a few times when I'd expect better from a quality FB.
I think we would see a better Hardaker if and when we can sort out the half backs.
For me the jury is still out on Hardaker but unless his lifestyle has blunted his prowess I'm a decent player still resides there.

Enough is enough time to end this messy farce and bring it to an end as will surely happen early next week as it is

I really don’t know what to say on the situation. The emotional side of me reading it for the first time says Lenagan really should publicly put the club up for sale. I can’t be bothered with this nonsense anymore, treating the fans like they’re fools. The Bateman situation, Wane walking out clearly due to something behind the scenes he’s unhappy with, the salary cap breach, more players being sold off and now this embarrassment and I just hoped he’d come out fighting but instead he’s saying we’ll wait and back any decision Edwards decides to make! Back any decision?! Is he taking the mick. Get this farcical situation knocked on the head and get looking for a coach who wants to be here. He’s basically buying him and Edwards time to figure out how to break the news that he’s going elsewhere.

Maybe I’ll calm down and think differently once the dust settles but this is such a frustrating situation on top of many others recently. He has been fabulous for Wigan has Ian Lenagan but it doesn’t give him free reign to act like one of our many dodgy politicians.

Sickening for a fan and embarassing for the club

Bigredwarrior: i appreciate your comments on this subject so far but i dont see how you can defend this now.....

Re: Edwards provides clarity : Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:40 pm  

All I’m prepared to say is that I stand by my comments. Mr Lenagan has shown an extreme level of diplomacy in his statement and has not yet disclosed any key facts, particularly about the contract.
No point me going on, it only gets people’s backs up.
