Yes. No. No. Not. It's relative. |

Not sure if you meant to reply to me. I didn’t suggest they would or they wouldn’t. I said it would be interesting to see what the club do, not that I knew what that would be. |

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality......
Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

Why should the club “support” him? He should have been sacked on the spot.
Absolutely no excuse for getting into a car and being over the drink drive limit

As of now, he's not been found guilty of any offence. |

| Quote: Phuzzy "Thinly veiled? Don't make me laugh! When has Lenagan ever been even remotely veiled when criticising other teams or organisations? You must be referring to the thinly veiled 'Yorkshire Mafia' comment or his thinly veiled 'the TV deal should never have been signed' or the many thinly veiled comments about the competence of the RFL.
Hardaker had been with the club over 6 months by this time, and the 'should have been addressed before now' equally applied to Wigan. Whilst it could (and should) have related to his previous clubs too, you're seeing what you want to here. I guess you're the sort of poster who would only be satisfied should Wigan take all the responsibility for any failings whether they took place during his time there or not.
I'll tell you what; let's all pretend Wigan are responsible for Bailey bottling someone, Ferris sleeping with his best mate's wife or Zak beating up a student, casting homophobic slurs or being found with cocaine in his system in Grand Final week. God forbid any other club should be culpable. ![]()
What on earth are you waffling on about?
I haven’t once blamed any club for Hardaker or any other players stupidity/failings. They are the fault of that player and no-one else. It would be like blaming Hull for Gareth Raynor getting sent down. I don’t lay one iota of blame or responsibility at any clubs door for their players off-field behaviour. It’s a shame Ian Lenagan doesn’t think the same way and took the chance for a petty shot at Leeds and Cas. He should stick to making up contracts for his staff.

He was certainly making it up with Edwards' contract for quite a while. |

Lenaghan's comments about Hardaker were not thinly veiled at all - they were direct criticisms of Leeds and Castleford for supposedly not doing enough for poor little Zak. Laughably the idiot child himself then threw (or spewed) it back in Wigan's face by being done for DUI seconds after signing.

To be fair, you'd either need to be on drugs to want to move to Wigan or require drugs to get you through the pain of living there.

Ironic considering the number of drugs bans involving Castleford players recently. |

Sorry, I didn't know you struggled to understand English. I'll stop 'waffling' and keep my responses down to single sentence, knee jerk reactions in future. Clearly much more your level.
Here's the 1 sentence answer to this one. I'll give you a few days to work out the meaning. "Before now" means all the time up to and including his time at Wigan, so not just aimed at Cas and Leeds.
Hope that's clearer for you. If you're still struggling, drop me a line and I'll get my 5 year old to compose a simpler answer. |

You were waffling. You still are. You went on a bizarre rant about Wigan being “blamed” for Hardaker when nobody had even inferred that either at the time or now. You know why nobody has? Because it’s stupid. And only someone rather desperate to make a point would use that argument.
Which is why everyone saw Lenagan’s comments as what they were. An attempt to spin or deflect the story away from Wigan giving another chance to someone they’d already told was the last chance and toward his previous clubs. Only the most blinkered of blind followers who’ve more than drunk the kool-aid of cult Lenagan would try and argue otherwise. I bet you’re one of the cult who now don’t want their club legend back ever again because Ian Lenagan can’t get a contract organised. |
