Hope so

More like some of our fans have short memories about Barrett. He was a class player at Wigan but at the time their team was a bit iffy and still rebuilding after the dire state it had been left by Millward, having Barrett in their team probably pushed them 2 or 3 places higher in the league than they would otherwise have been at the time.

The unusual thing about Wigan in their recent revival under Maguire is they aren't a team of superstars, apart from Tomkins, they are a squad of good players that's well organised and overachieved, which is why they have been vying with us and Leeds for the trophies rather than out ahead cleaning up. I reckon if Barrett or Adrian Lam had been in the Wigan team of the last couple of years they would been out in front on their own.

Any further news on the Briers to Widnes situation?

Live Wired Oppps

after this prediction i definately don't want u picking my lottery numbers

Complete pile of bovine excreta

and most of all.... thanks for signing your new contract.

Post of the decade this........ no honestly.

Lets see how long it takes Live Wired to appear again on this board.

You Mean It's Not True After All !!!

To be fair to Live Wired he's not the only one to post such stupid (and patently un-true) runours as set-in-stone, gospel truth. However as he is the most negative poster on this board then he deserves plenty of ribbing.

It would be interesting to hear where he heard this rumour and why he was suitabily convinced by it to post it on here with such certainty.

Cooey, still hear. Who said anything about rumour? I can guarantee that Briers will be at Widnes by the end of the season.

As for contracts, they are not worth the paper they are written on. Makes much more business sense to sell a contracted player than a non-contracted player.

Btw, is briers playing tomorrow?

Yes he will be; playing for Warrington in the Round 27 fixture!

To be fair Walter I'd imagine that he'll be rested for that one rather than risked on the i(njury)-pitch.
