It's ok to not rate a player that's not playing well, or isn't "good enough", but not liking them because they dared to leave us is laughable. I can give you a list as long as my arm of players who suddenly went from world beaters to dead beats. Nothing changed, it's just they didn't play for Wigan anymore. Likewise I can give you a similar list of players that Wigan fans laughed at when they didn't play for us and are now suddenly untouchable.
You've kinda proven my with last point. This fictitious trouble maker tag that gets thrown at people who leave. I don't like Williams because he's too run orientated and his short kicking game used to drive me crazy. He's not a trouble maker tho is he. We wouldn't have offered him a record deal if he was.
Edit - nor would Wane have just named him captain on Saturday. The troublemaker tag just doesn't stack up.
Some players are good enough for it to be worth putting up with the issues they cause behind the scenes. Others aren't.
