Just admit it, you're scared that the signing may strengthen Wigan. :wink:


It Might Strengthen your backs, but sadly for you the Likes of Coley, Riddell, Fielden, Feka, Prescott, Hansen and Bailey aren't really going to worry anyone in the pack.

You sure about that?

Yeah I am, the guy makes an impact for about 20 Minutes a game. Even some of your own fans are starting to question if he does more harm than good.

Feka was awful against Barrow. Complete liability.

He comes on in short bursts - he is an impact prop and when used correctly is the best impact prop in super league and can knock down defences for fun.

Wigan started him against Barrow whereas he is of more effect from the bench hence the poor performance.

The Trouble being when we have a guy like Puletua who is playing 50-60 Minutes (80 at Huddersfield) and knocking over defences, scoring tries and making massive holes with his offloads, Feka looks distinctively average.

Different types of players with different qualities. Although Puletua is a fantastic player.

Location: Warrington after many years of wandering
Gleece is a great player who came to Warrington under a cloud when he didn't want to come. he looks a lot happier signing for Wigan and has given up hope of playing in the NRL.

We got a good deal out of it due to the £100k. Name how many transfer fees of +£100k there have been in the SL era? Fielden & Gleece (2) I can't think of any more.

Gleece and Briers together when they are out are a nightmare.

Good luck to him, he played well for us over a period of time but never really reached the heights we expected.

Gleece see's himself as a 6. no one else does as he doesn't have the skill or vision. If Wigan want the best out of him, play him in the centre and get him early ball.






I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is

hold on a minute, you cant tell me the fact he started was the reason he played poorly? i didnt see the game so have no idea whether he did or didn't but what stops him having an impact from the start against a team like barrow? at the top level where the margins between success and failure are small then it may be fair to say someone is 'better' as an impact player than starting, but it is never an excuse for performing poorly
