unless we loose the matches

You haven't answered the question.
What would you have done?

if we lose them matches it will because we signed ben cross????



like i said you just post crap!

It's low risk from Wigan's point of view as far as I can see. We don't stand to lose anything as he's only here short-term, and if he does get fit again and makes his way into the team it could prove an inspired pick-up, especially if he helps us to another Grand Final. If he doesn't manage to break into the team, it will mean that the guys we have already are playing well enough to keep him out of contention, and it won't matter anyway because he's off to Widnes leaving us a free quota spot and room under the cap

Thanks for the slanging matches again

I'm still waiting for your solution. It's not a slanging match.

I have no issue with this signing he has proved him self in the NRL and was held in high regard there, it's great to see IL and management are ambitious in bringing an extra player in to see out the season.

Brilliant news

Not only have we just secured a proven enforcer but we also have one with a point to prove!

Great bit of business by Wigan.....once again.

Talk about drama queens. We've made a short term signing in a position were we need cover. We've signed an experienced aggressive front rower who played at the highest level.

Worst case is he doesn't play every game.

Hardly doom and gloom considering he's here for 10 - 12 games before he heads to widnes.

do we take it ''you're on'' this week

He's done well in the NRL but seems to have been discarded at Leeds.

Got to say I wasn't all that impressed when I first heard about us being interested but with all the injuries it seems to be a great move.

Even if it doesn't work out he's not here for long anyway. Just a shame he's agreed a contract with Widnes for next year; he'll be fantastic now!

Stop talking sense! Some people have to find something to moan about!!

I would have played him against wakey he cant be that unfit.

I'd say it's been at least 5-6 weeks since he played a competitive game, if not more, so throwing him straight back in would be a risk. Although throwing him back in against Wire in the Cup might be an even bigger risk so it's definitely a tricky one. Depends on who is available for selection out of our current props I guess. If Lima, Mossop, Coley and Prescott are all good to go then we can give Cross a chance to get his legs back in the u20's

His dirty tactics will fit right in with the likes of Jeff, Sean, Joel and Chris.

Honestly though, he isn't the player he was in the NRL, and you cannot coach a good player to be bad, he has come over for the paycheck and put minimum effort in so far, and that is why he was no longer in McDermott's plans, you've just given him an extended paycheck, as have widnes. He'll continue to give away too many penalties and for that, i'm happy.
