Quote: Big Steve "DaveO - yes you're right, IL didn't have a master plan for Mossop to hurt his shoulder and come back after a year. But, that the only bit you're right about.
He created the right environment and conditions for players to want to come back when they felt ready or inclined to. He probably had a reasonable feeling that some of these players will give it a ty and at some point they will want to come home. And if they do, they will look to Wigan first.
Is that really so difficult to understand and accept?'"
Well thanks for the reasoned response. I think people are just being a bit naive about it and that IL is milking it as if he were a politician.
An argument when players leave that is often put forward is that this is a short career and sentiment doesn't come into it. That is, while we as fans have a loyalty to the club players have a loyalty to their career first and foremost. It's going to work that way if any of them come back here. When a player leaves all IL can do is keep his fingers crossed if they come back to the UK the offer he puts on the table is good enough regardless of what he said about any possible future return.
It also helps Wigan are a top side which is kind of stating the obvious but you would not expect any of the Burgess bros to return to Bradford right now would you?
