Quote: cadoo "Gareth Thomas' agent has apparently said to George Riley that Thomas had signed for Wigan, but did a complete U-turn. On the face of this I'm very pleased - he was not fit to pull on the Cherry and White shirt. Although, I am curious as to what Ian Lenagan had in mind with the move.
The man has had a fantastic career though and every credit for giving RL a real go with the Crusaders. I wish him all the best for the future.'"


More twitter-talk, this time from Gareth Rhys Owen who says that Wigan deny that a deal was done for Thomas.

Quote: The Biffs Back "regardless of whether or not he would have been a good signing for Wigan or not i do believe that Gareth has brought some much needed positive publicity to our sport and in newspapers that wouldn't ever cover RL in such depth

So before you disrespect him any further please evaluate his contribution to our game'"



I don't think many on here would disagree with you on the fact he has been a great player over the years and has given RL a boost over in Wales.......


....however sit back and think about whether you would have been happy about a 39 year old centre playing week in week out for Leeds next season. (You've just got rid of one for god's sake...and he's two years younger).

What's happening with his Mickey Rourke starring bio-pic? Wasn't that going to be the big publicity thing during his Wigan contract.

Wasn't advocating him being a good signing, just wanted him being given the respect he deserves, not fans trumpeting his retirement on here

Thank God he isn't signing for us. I and a few others got slated for saying this when it was first mooted that he was coming to Wigan.

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.:



I think he was a very good Union player and a player who deserves a lot of credit for the way he gave RL a go at an advanced age (and imo did ok, not brilliant but did a job).

Glad he isn't coming to Wigan, even as a publicity stunt as I'm not sure how that could have fitted in with the CC.
