Hi Kris
Good of you to reply to my post.
Not entirely sure they are all one for one re dates but I will try to reply to your pairs. Firstly though apart from maybe TL a list of mediocrety and utility players I.e. Jack of all trades and master of none. All signed I believe on your watch.
Gregson played about 3 games so I'm impressed with your memory. Yes you signed Hamlin a 13stone when wet through "middle" when we were desparately looking for a prop with size and who could do minutes. Unfortunately when your lad actually put a bit of physicality into his running your coach bollocked him for doing so.
Did we resign TL as a scrum half or was signed to replace MM? By the way Smith is the epitome of mediocrity.
Ah Escare. The only player in SL on £90k a year who cannot get a game when fit. Not really a fullback, can't play half back and pretty useless on the wing. Tierney although pap is a better use of the cap re how much he got paid.
Isa yet another allegedly utility player but if he has ever played centre I'm a Chinaman. Was Pettybourne a second rower?
I will give you Clubb over Lushity. Yes Clubb an improvement.
Seriously Grimmy do you really think we are using the cap better now than 2013??

We’ve been told a lot of things by the club over these past few months and everything has either been garbage or a pack of lies so yes your right they are in a no win situation.
But I’m afraid it’s all self inflicted as at the moment they can’t be trusted in anything they do or say. The connection/trust between the club and the fans is the lowest that I’ve seen and I’ve been watching them since 1979! The club have far more wrongs to right before I will don my cherry & white tinted specs again.
BTW this is not a personal attack at you Bigredwarrior

Give over matey, no issues at all and I didn’t take anything personally. I suppose I have more sympathy for the club than most after the Edwards fiasco. I had an open and honest conversation with a friend in a senior management role at the club and was informed how badly SE had treated them. He asked for my continued support and it was abundantly clear that there is far more going on behind the scenes than most of us will ever know.
I trust my mate and I will continue to try at least, to see the positives when they arise. It should be clear to everyone that the club recognised the need to make changes and are taking steps to improve things. It won’t be easy and it may take time but I’m confident they’ll get there.

How have Wigan managed to put such an awful squad together whilst operating at the full cap? There isn’t even any star players in your squad. Whoever signs off on player contracts should be sacked!

Duckie has been quite tame lately, recently removed from the block list for good behaviour.

In fairness Duckie has stuck to one name for donkeys years rather than swapping between 27 different users.

Ruune Rebellion is like that lad off Hey Arnold who shows up and skulks over Helgas shoulder all the time and gets a back hander and promptly f##ks off.
