"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



I appreciate that I may be being a little unfair but in hindsight he must go down as one of Wigan's poorest overseas signings in recent years.

I think for the majority of last season he was pretty average and was outperformed by players like Crosby, Clubb etc. I do understand that he only had one year and he may have been going through off the field issues last year too but he will not be missed really. Sutton/Greenwood will do just as good, if not a better, job next season.

I wish him well for the future!

League Express says he was released as his father is very ill and Eddy felt he needed to be with his family. Can't really argue with his decision to leave given the circumstances.

He and Asotasi were clearly finished in their last seasons at Souths. Not surprised neither of them made an impact in SL. I'd bet both were signed on the basis of past rather than current form.

Quote: BrisbaneRhino "He and Asotasi were clearly finished in their last seasons at Souths. Not surprised neither of them made an impact in SL. I'd bet both were signed on the basis of past rather than current form.'"

Pettybourne is 26, he left Souths through choice because Wests offered more stability financially although Souths did want him to stay. He suffered two bad injuries whilst at Wigan thus affecting his impact as a player. Asotasi is 32, considerably older than Pettybourne.

You're talking out of your towel holder a little bit there pal.

I fully expect to be shot down by the black and white fraternity in Hull but whilst with a couple of FC supporting mates at an amateur cup final yesterday I got told that Mickey Paea may well be of interest to Wigan and is unsettled (whether because of alleged approaches or an internal matter at Hull FC they weren't sure). Just passing on what I heard.

On Twitter that Pettybourne has signed for Gold Coast Titans.

Handy, that.
