A certain section of the fans im sure your one of!

Still fans who pay their MONEY to go watch him under perform with all the rest of the players.

That makes it ok then!

Abuse away!

Come on Red, Lynch is not underperforming. If he was playing in a team that knew what the hell they were about, that employed a few less donkeys, he would look pretty outstanding IMO. But playing for this lot, and for the length of stints he plays, he has sod all chance to shine, and just gets dragged down with the mediocrity of too many of the rest. Even then, his stats and the opinions of fans of other teams suggest he ain't doing so bad?

Unfortunately Adey that doesn't hold any water with the blood thirsty linch mob we have in certain sections of our fan base!

pun intended!

Lynch would get in most of the leading teams. We don't have many you could say that about.

Yes. If your happy to put up with the shiite we have seen this year that's up to you I'm not so looks like I'm not a super duper mega fan.

Lynch is supposedly our top earner I don't believe we have had value for money out of him this season.

Stop yer whining ffs! Coming out with daft comments like that just makes you look stupid! Not once have i said criticism wasn't due to players who deserve it, but to make up crap about a player who works harder than any one else, does more work than any one else and spends more time on the pitch than anyone else, for the good of the club, then your going to be brought down to the level of common gobsh*te which we already have plenty of on here!

Mate, that goes for almost all of them, to a greater or lesser extent?

Without knowing the packages, we probably had VFM out of Koppy and some of the youngsters, and probably Raynor and Heath? And too many players have been injured for too long to be able to say we have had VFM?

But I reckon we have had more value for money out of Lynch than almost anyone else? Especially when you take into account time spent on field?

Some of our signings have been poor - there is no doubting that. Some of them have gone wrong through circumstances outside the clubs control.

I put this on the other thread - with hindsight I should have realised that thread was doomed.

I seem to remember a post full of advice/encouragement from a Wigan fan maybe 18/12 ago. He (put simply) was saying that Wigan had had problems - panic buying, no forward thinking and made one astute signing - Trent Barrett.

He gave Wigan time - time to integrate their youth setup, allowed them to compete better in the short term, allowed them to use their quota signings properly - signing class rather than "good enough". He got them points from games that they otherwise wouldn't have got.

We had just signed Awford - which is where the encouragement came from. And - as most people would agree, for the first few months of that season, he did give us the ability to compete at a higher level than we otherwise would. The rest is history. And probably set us back at least 2yrs.

Good post

Christ. I get into bother for not attending games from some quarters yet get accused of being there and causing bother from others.

Like the Bulls at the moment I simply cannot win.

I think you're spot on with saying that the Orford farce has indeed set us back two years if not more in terms of getting continuity within the halves.

I won't be alone in the hope that Sammut and Gale hit it off during the off season/pre season building.
