So what was I watching when he supported Goulding's run and got the ball and scored on Sunday? I thought he did quite well to move up into the line from FB, especially as he wasn't expecting to play there.
Whether he is more effective on the wing is a matter for discussion, but to say he offers no attacking threat from FB is quite clearly untrue. Plus he is our best player at catching the bomb. If Sam does miss out, I'd be surprised if MM went for anyone else at FB. |

Dont you know? Goulding will always be a scapegoat amongst some fans on here no matter what he does. The 2 tries that Goulding set up were about as good a piece of centre play that you will see and if Carmont had set up those 2 tries then he would have rightly been praised to the heavens. However because it is Goulding some would rather just focus on the one bad read Goulding made in defence, and it is not like other Wigan players did that on Sunday is it. Likewise Joel has done one decent flick pass to set up a try while at centre and, despite fluffing quite a lot of chances there by being greedy, he can do no wrong there with some. Different rules for different players. |

Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

I've just seen some brilliant Wigan kids on tv in the Widnes game, then come on here and people are still harping on about Roberts. For gawd's sake, move on.

Sam is obviously a bigger attacking threat from FB than Richards and obviously Richards is far more effective on the wing than at FB. But just watch the highlights from last season against Wakefield and Crusaders and Richards performances in them games. He was outstanding. Fair enough it was against weaker opposition, but them games showed what he offers from FB.

Your not wrong there I was in shock by the comment that's why I quoted why? I think people forget why goulding got his starting shirt for this season , the amount of try's he scored on wing last season and how solid he was . That's why the comment on Roberts on wing goulding no were near made me laugh , what a joke |
