Quote: wiganrl "I'm sorry but in my personal opinion this has to be one of the worst signings Wigan have made in a long time and almost certainly means that Sarginson/Gelling is going or both I'm bitterly disappointed that Wigan would even bother signing him I've never rated him at Widnes so why Wane wants him is beyond me I hope to be proven wrong on him and he turns out to be another Clubb type signing but this is very much a "Project" signing by Wane.'"
What tripe.
We've signed a wing / centre cover as we've lost Thornley & Burgess. That's whio Isa is replacing and not our two starters.
We've been in a real mess at points this season as we've not had sufficient centre cover. Every time we've had to call on Joel or Bateman it's had a negative impact across the whole of the team. This signing means that's no longer an issue.
I'm trying to think of another team in SL who have a two back up centres as good as Isa and Gildart. Yes there are undoubtedly better starters out thete but this is real strength in depth.
Well done to the club for sorting out what's been a real problem for us.
