Like Gleeson, you mean?

Or like so many for whom the Wigan glass is always half-empty, does Gleeson not count because his capture doesn't suit your argument?

I'm all for signing him but they need to have a plan for when he leaves in place ASAP


Orford is a quality player, but just another 2 year stop gap. When are we going to build a lasting partnership in the halves such as Burrow/McGuire?

Are you forgetting the last part of my 100s of posts? Please read before gripping.

"Long would be a good signing along with Myler"

Right, I have read you post that too many times to remember I will now ask -

Why the hell do you think we would be able to sign 2 halfbacks under the cap and keep them plus Tomkins, Riddell and McIllorum happy.

Not to mention your ludicrious idea of Sam at fullback?

Hang on a minute, don’t spit your dummy out just because 1 more poster (me) is getting tired of your constant wild theory’s or solutions.

If we signed long (madness) or orford (sensible) on a two year contract then we would STILL be in the same place in 2 years.

If we were also to sign myler (who would command a good wage) to play alongside Long (not as much as what he is on at saints but not much less) we would not have room in the team for arguably our best halfback prospect in years.

So let me get this straight

1. Sign a player that is despised by the majority of Wigan fans
2. Sign an excellent young player from Salford, therefore pushing another excellent young halfback to the fullback spot.
3. Now we have this excellent halfback playing out of position in the full back. Whilst the two scrum halves we have signed try to gel.

Now this is where I wonder what other "ideas" your theory will give us.

1. Where do we play Pat and Phelps?
2. What happens to this promising young half back of ours when Sean long/matt orford retires? He now has to play 6 or 7 but has forgotten how to do it because he has spent the last two years catching high bombs and getting crunched in last ditch tackles.

Basically the knock on effects of signing not one!!! But two!!! Number 7s would have knock on effects throughout the whole squad, would test the salary cap to the limits and would hamper us is in signing a top class prop forward.

The worst thing about your posts is that you actually believe that this would work.

You my friend need to have a cup of tea and engage your brain before you sit down at the keyboard

On the condition that Myler was brought in and Tomkins was moved to fullback to play a floating Lockyer esque role. Please keep up.

Get rid of Piggy. Why is Tomkins moving to fullback so "ludicrious"? Have you ever watched the NRL and seen what the "ball playing" fullbacks can do?
