Just been looking at the stats also. If you don't rate him as a player fair enough, but why label him as a penalty machine, when the stats show us he isn't. As RG says, give the lad a chance. It's roundly accepted that Agar is a poor coach. With a better coach you may well see a different Lauaki

Is Noble back in charge.

If it's true (I'm not accepting it until it's confirmed by the Wigan club) then we have to give the lad a chance. He's not the penalty machine some make him out to be, and under a good coaching team in 2012 (anything is better than Agar) I'm sure he could be a shrewd signing.

Can't see him displacing anyone already here without massive effort though.

He'll be at a more disciplined environment (I'd imagine) at Wigan.

So long as he can keep his cool and do what he does best, he'll be a good signing.

god people do get jumped on here for having a differing view,
terrible signing in my opinion, and its not even confirmed so its not happened yet

We have enough props, and each are better than him.

We also have 1 retiring, and 2 who will be coming back off long term injuries.

n they are still better than him,

Hands up who would rather have Cross?

o/

why do we insit on signing other teams cast-offs

id much rather have cross n i was strongly against him coming

IMO we don't need him, but i'm willing to give him a chance.

It's not for having a different view it's the inaccuracies in your post about him being a penalty machine, which you now must admit was wrong.

Just out of curiosity , how many times have you seen him play?

I don't know if he will be a good signing or not, I'll wait and see him play in a Wigan jersey before making my judgement.
