| Quote: Phuzzy "Fair point mate. Why do you think it would take a couple pre seasons though? Changes like this are usually made over the course of a single preseason and, as you say, Budgie seems to have a good rugby brain.
Just a couple recent examples to illustrate the point
Just an opinion of course. The way Sam was asked to play at full back is very similar to an old school #6 which is where he had played and trained throughout his youth. Where he had to adapt was the defensive side and that showed at the start with him moving to the wing and Richards covering some of his duty. I’d say it took Sam at least 2 years to adapt to the defensive side.
Centre and wing are vastly different, I may be way off here but budgie to me seems to be prone to a loss of confidence and I think is less adaptable so naturally it would take him longer.

| Quote: Phuzzy "Well it isn't based on a 10 second snapshot as I've said previously and the winger outside him (if he played on the left) would be a Marshall in his third season as a Superleague regular, not the inexperienced one in his first few games as he was when he played outside Budgie last season. Other than that, you're bang on!
I just hope the club has some sense and doesn't try to convert our best winger into a centre and play a lesser wing outside him. (Basically that would leave us with a poor to average centre in Burgess with a lesser winger outside him)
He's a brainwave, sign a centre, play our best winger outside a proper centre.

| Quote: Trainman "By ‘Wakefield’ do you mean one of their supporters or the club itself. Assuming the second paragraph is a quote I’d be very concerned over the language used.
Interesting point though, I can’t be bothered to look up the RFL rules however on google maps the distance between the posts does measure 104.95m. So assuming the above is correct and the maximum length is 100m then we are indeed over.'"
i think that is the dimensions for the football pitch for latics. look at the markings on friday.the goal lines for the football and rugby dont match

seems strange then.the rugby markings seem a consistant 10m,so where does the extra come from.a dodgy tape measure?

| Wigan is the right size pitch and the football and rugby markings correspond. The try line at Wigan is the goalline for the football. Now look at other 'new' stadiums and this is not the case, ie Hull, Huddersfield & St Helens have the try line within the football pitch.
