I find it genuinely interesting that Wane has specifically asked for this signing.
It shows he see's huge potential which makes it quite an exciting signing.
If he has a problem with attitude or commitment then he'll have a miserable time within a Shaun Wane & Wigan squad.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

True, if his attitude or commitment is not right U20's beckons (ask Feka) |

He's one of the top 10 props in superleague but is without doubt behind guys like Graham, Morley, Peacock, Carvell, Mossop and Lynch going off last year.
I'd have him in a similar league to guys like Wood, Griffin, Lima etc who are just at the back of that first lot I mention.'"
I watched Lynch every week, including the Hull/Bradford games and I'd pick O'Meley every time. |

Yeah Lee Williams is a player we released to York, its usually good to get your facts right before trying to be a higher power.
Anyway Lauaki is a strange one, I am shocked Wigan have signed him but maybe they see some potential they could use better then Agar did (which would not surprise me at all).
He had a good game against saints one season, flattened Leon Pryce on his way to score and made a couple of big breaks as he can shift for a big guy when he gets going. Your two major flaws with Lauaki is keeping him interested otherwise he just won't run his weight and secondly is his disclepline. He gets easy wound up on a field and can cost you a lot of penalties , which you don't need as he isn't the best defender.

As for the Morley comment, laughable, Morley has been nothing short of sensational at Wire. Id take every single one of them props above at Wigan over O Meley, im and im sure if you ask fans of other clubs they would ALL say the same.'"
The biggest load of I have read in a long while.
How many of them other prop forwards you mentioned carry the same fear on a field as Mark O Meley, not many of them because O Meley is an animal. you can smash him and he'll get up and run straight back at you, then smash you back.
Ask James Roby. |

O'Meley had a poor back end to last season as he was playing through the pain barrier as his muscle was actually ripped off from the bone. |

| Quote: 21-12 "I can name you at least 15 props id have in the SL dream team before O Meley. Considering he's an ex Australian international that has played state of origin, I cant say I have even noticed him at all last season, I cant remember him having a good game. You must have been even poorer than I thought if he stood out for you.'"
Because you watch him every week 
Ogre is a beast of a forward. He's not the best in the league, but he's definatley up there. |

I could understand (to an extent) the Lauaki signing, but not on a 3 year contract.
3 years isn't taking a punt or a gamble, that's a long term investment on a player who hasn't warranted anything of the sort so far.
1+1 I could have maybe gone along with, but we'll see I suppose.

I understand the doom and gloom about this signing. I for one am looking on the bright side. The mindset at Wigan is highly professional dare I say more than at Hull, and Wane believes that he can tap into the undoubted potential. From people that I have spoken to I hear that he is rated by our players. So long as his work rate and discipline improves it could be a decent signing.
