Said the same thing to the missus during the game last night, I'm sure it won't take long before the Wigan fans cheer him with a boo when he gets the ball from now on.

As for the best player at Wigan, I actually think it's close between Sam and Pat. Both are huge for us.

Jesus! And to think I considered you a good poster. Just shows how wrong you can be. I have a 9 year old who spouts less childish cr@p than this.

Childish, so when i say he's not the best player i'm wrong, then when i'm won over by everyone's eloquent debating skills and change my mind i'm wrong.

Is Sam the best tackler in the Wigan team? No

Is his positional sense the best at Wigan? No

Is he the best passer in the squad?
No

Is he the best kick returner? No

The only thing Sam has that is better than anyone else in the team is his side step and broken field ability, an ability that would be ineffective say he went to the NRL were defences are better organised.

Sam is a very good player but say compared to Edwards or Barrett at 6 or Radlinski and Hampson at 1 not even in the same class.

Seeing as people are sounding me out on who i think is best player at Wigan, Lockers, sets the tone and organisation behind your great defence puts in super human effort which goes unnoticed most simply because most people concentrate there rating based on attack, there's a reason why Phil Clarke blows smoke up his backside, he's your most important player and it's not even close between him and Sam.

Infact, it was a big cheer rather than a boo when he got taken off because he was awful. Big difference.

I admit to cheering at that game, but it certainley wassnt directed at McGuire it was aimed at the clown coaching us at the time. I couldnt believe it took so long to get a player subbed when it was obvious that he was having a stinker!!

He's got the best combination of all those skills though, plus a decent kicking game.



Agreed, but that not the argument. We're talking about current players.
