Great for you guys and sorry to see him go, but good luck to him.

Always given good service to Hull and cannot blame him for "maybe" getting more money from you guys to finish his career, one thing for sure is that you will get your moneys worth out of him.

Great signing by Saints. Powerful and not afraid to have a go.

Now, when will Turner sign too?

Gill....

Willie did sign for you at the weekend, but on monday morning had a meeting with peter gentle saying he felt he has made a mistake as he wants to stay at hull. Peter told him that the money you guys have offered him ( £300,000 - believe it if you want but this is true, you came in late for garath ellis and offered him twice the amount hull did) was to good to turn down and he feels willie has the three years in him so make the most of it. Good signing for you guys, great player on his day, just happy hull have the funds to sign some young english players from say the bulls

impressive made up stuff there!

Aye that great player bit is unbelievable.

better than any of your backrowers

Double the amount, when McRae came out and publicy said they badly wanted him to stay and offered one of the best contracts at club. lol

Gotta love Rogues jealousy, not many will rival this back three next season:

11. Soliola
12. Manu
13. Puletua

300K

If your referring to Bateman as this young English player from bulls then I'm willing to bet you £500 he don't sign for hull.

He's Cheshire bound.

It should be a good race between Manu & Puletua to the Post Office to pick their pensions up.


I'm quite happy with Hock, Hansen and O'Loughlin with the ginger pearl on the bench.
All from our academy, you should try it.

like the aging ozzie halfback you're throwing money at to stay? derail the thread again and its the posting retirement home for you

They would both beat lockers in race tho.

I believe hock is up to his old tricks again, won't be long before he's in the $hit again



#golden seal

correct hes back ripping the league up and knocking that skid mark Wilkin out the international set up.

No, it's his other habit

To be fair to Rouges, Wigan are taking something of a pounding on their board, he's just trying to find anything, like the ramblings of an unknown poster to hang on to.


Maybe a bit more rope for Rouges is needed.

Sorry just want to clarify I meant 300k over the time of the contract,not per season!!!

Well that is a bit more reasonable. 300K per year would make Tomkins green

100k per season for one of the best backrowers in the league is a pretty good deal tbh

Until the next time he feels like punching someone/shoving a ref over/spear tackling someone/sniffing a few lines of coke.

brain dead liability

It is mate youre right!! Hulls wage structure thanks to the previous board is a right mess, far to many average players earning stutpid money, thats what were trying to sort out for next season, have a team of quality players all on around the same money with young squad members as back up. And before you say ellis he isnt on as much as you think

!!!

Same brain dead liability that would walk into any 2nd row in the league though. You stick to your aging overseas pack, 3 year deal for Manu absolutley awful business even though you'll tell us its a top deal when he'll be nearly 33 by the times hes played a game for you. Mugs

So by this time next year Saints will have Manu aged 33, Laffranchi aged 32,
Puletua aged 33 and Perry aged 32 as the cornerstones of their pack

Great long term planning?

Are you trying to out do Warrington?

And we will also have sia, clough, Magennis, wilkin, roby, LMS, Forster, greenwood, flanaghan who aint that old.

What is it with Wigan and youth/homegrown? It's like a obsession of all Wigan fans to bang in and on about it.

I'm all for youth but I'm also all for trying to win things. If that means bringing in the likes of Manu then I'm happy. We are init to try and win it.


Let's be honest, up until few years back Wigan was the worst club in the world for binning youth players in favour over older overseas players.

Has that delivery of zimmer frames for your team turned up yet?
