Tony Clubb on a 2yr deal is criminal.

He's strapped together with sellotape and we give him a 2 year deal. Ridiculous.

I'm deemed a Happy Clapper but Jeez!
Just worked out that if were lucky he may play 40 of the next 66ish games over the next 2 years
If were Lucky he'll play 20mins a game on average
That means he's likely to play 800mins in the 2 years of his contract end of 2021!!! (Liam Watts/Alex Walmsley/Thompson etc. will have done that amount of minutes by around April 2020!)

In that time he'll make around 240 hit ups for around 1000mtrs
In that time he'll attempt around 400 tackles and miss 100 of them
He'll try and charge down 80 kickers and miss 75 of them


Oh and yes - It 80 players off the ball after they've passed it giving about 50 penalties away

As an Aside I'm going over to Redvee
There's Less Wigan Bashing going on over there

Thats it for now, more to come over the next few weeks

I must confess today has been a little disappointing. Radlinski has now reflected on today’s announcements so sounds like that’s a wrap for the day.

It felt as though the signings and extensions (which are on the whole quite good) were all building up to something worthy of the build up e.g. Hastings, Maloney, Watkins.

Clark and Smithies are true only positives from today (I’m discounting Wells and Partington as I personally haven’t seen enough to comment either way).

The rest is disappointing. And that’s putting it extremely mildly. Poor show from the club today and further shows the contempt of which it’s treating its fans.

Sammut, Clubb, Bibby and Hankinson are not players that are of sufficient quality to actually challenge for trophies and catch Saints/Warrington up. 2019 will be poor, 2020 doesn’t look much better as it stands.

Mr Lenaghan - you wonder why fans are staying away. The answer is slapping you in the face with our current squad and coaching set up.

Think it's harsh on Bibby that at least give him a chance for crying out loud not even played game for us yet!!!!
