| Quote: DaveO "The article says it's reckoned they could afford to keep him. Parr was obviously going out of his way to accommodate the player as well. Who to believe? You who thinks its all a pack of lies or people down-under who actually talk to the clubs and Parr himself?
I saw that post in the Aussie newspaper weeks ago and that is what I based my opinion that he would only be released if his club thought he wasn't up to it physically.
You seem to just want to dismiss that article as propaganda simply because it suits your point of view to do so.
Simple question, do you think signing a him is a risk or not?'"
Jonathan Thurston new contract - 1,000,000 AUS dollars on top of that James Tamou + Matt Scott arguably the best props at the time of renewal. Robert Lui is due a new contract and Bret Tate.
cowboys are not going to say a cult hero for them got pushed out by the salary cap are they? how stupid and disloyal would they look to their fans? not the first time a news paper has report a white lie and wont be the last.
But you keep believing it due to he's knackered knees after he's just had the best season for the last 3 years.
sooner or later you will fess up and say lenegan and wane signed the best possible option for fullback

No and I wouldn't ask such a stupid question either.'"
I think that you are intelligent enough to know what the question was getting at. However, if I'm wrong, I'll spell it out for you - the full back options that are available in this country are of Mathers (of five years ago) like quality. Another example might be Greg Eden. Perhaps you might like to suggest who Wigan should have signed. I for one am happy that we've signed Bowen and look forward to seeing him play.

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |
|
| Jeez some people are easily pleased.
Let's just pause for a moment.
How much money has come in over the last couple of years or so in terms of Transfers?
How much has been spent on new players?
Do the happy clappers really believe this is acceptable for Wigan RLFC?

are you now complaining about the standard of the team? or the amount of money or lack of on transfers? who do you suggest we buy? personally i wouldn't mind ben crooks and adam loughton but they would be overpriced and then i would moan at the money we have spent for them.

I am a big Bowen fan and delighted with the signing but that is not the case. 2012 he was 2nd in the Dally M awards. Last year he struggled until he had his operation but had a good last 2 months of the season, to prove he will still be plenty good enough for Superleague if we manage him sensibly like Wire have done with Hodgson

Up until this season I reckon about 250k?
Money spent around 200/250k?
Money in this year I would guess 3/4qtrs million?
Money spent out of that - We'll see.
Your point is?
I'm guessing it will be something like "Splash the cash" and go and sign "X" amount of Big name stars Mr Leneghan?

For god's sake, what's the point of your post?
It's added nothing to the debate, why don't you say nothing if you can't say something positive?
It's posts like these that really wind me up!

I suppose what would be acceptable for Wigan RLFC would be to win the Challenge Cup and Super League GF.
I would have thought that results on the pitch during IL's tenure make your arguements look pretty lame. We can all say would would have done this or that, but are you really suggesting that spending money on transfers is the way to win Super League. Not how Leeds have been doing it is it?

| I do wonder how some people on this site cope when something happens despite their best efforts that was out of their control.
Fingers in both ears chanting 'la la la la' springs to mind. . . .
I for one am pleased they aren't in charge if running my team. I imagine billy Boston, Shaun Edwards, Greg and Hanley would still be being forced onto the field. . . .

| Still no word from the "critics of IL" who he should have signed instead of Bowen.
The silence is deafening.
I would have thought from all of the accumulated wisdom out there (I mean you all know better than IL how to run a club, better than SW how to coach and select a team and better than the Doc how to run a medical) that someone could have enlightened us "happy clappers"...
