I'd have Ben Crooks in preference to Chris Bridge every time.
Bad management all round at Hull, that's what happened to the lad.

Listen S£!T for brains, I come on this forum to chat about Wigan RL and other rugby matters, there's no possible way I know if fans are aware of who's signing who, so if I hear something (which falls under the category of rumours and signings) I'll add them for others to see.

So refrain from making such stupid not needed or helpful comments. STUPID F$%KWIT

:lol Fair enough. Why you so mad though?

This place/forum can be fantastic lots of passionate Wigan/RL fans discussing and debating all things RL, then on occasion you get pointless worthless comments which offer nothing but a hint of unneeded criticism or smart remark for no reason whatsoever, if someone tries that with me I'll fire back.

I'm surprised I had to explain that.

Or you could also say he got a big for his boots and wouldn't listen or take on board what the coaches were telling him about his defensive positioning or tackling.

Some guy on Facebook claiming that we are about to announce the signing of Kevin Locke to play Fullback for the rest of the season, he then said that Locke would replace Burgess on the wing with Charnley going into the centres due to Sargy going to union, also stated that we are in for Paterika Vaivai and also looking at Martin Taupau, anybody else heard any of this?

There is more chance of plaiting snot than Martin Taupau coming to SL. The bloke is a machine. He would be unplayable in this comp. We can but dream!

Not seen anything of Vaivai but on paper sounds a handful. To be fair though the entire rumour above I think can be taken with a pinch of salt.

Paterika Vaivai

I thought I knew all the NRL players, but I had to Google him. Only played 3 games of first grade according to Wiki.


Martin Taupau is indeed a beast!

2014 Player of the Year in the NSW Cup so i believe

Re: Ben Crookes : Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:09 pm  

he never played for parramatta eels, only played for the reserve grade 3 team and was by reports, poor in that team

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Jun 19, 2015 11:32 pm  

Taupau would tear the whole of Super League a new one...
