Quote: Grimmy "Wigan forwards with more than 15 apps for 3+ clubs - John Bateman, Mitch Clark.

Edit - I've just been surprised to learn that, according to the dictionary, journeyman doesn't mean a player who plays for many clubs. Apparently it actually means 'A worker or sports player who is reliable but not outstanding'. Maybe he has a case after all.'"


It does if you're American. I'm not American.

I’ve used journeymen for decades to describe decent players but not at the highest standard.
It’s definitely used in boxing parlance.
It’s used differently in soccer. Maybe you’re a soccer fan

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



Quote: NickyKiss "I don’t buy the Bateman, Isa and Farrell are too small line. I don’t get it at all when anybody says it. A giant making 100 metres a game is 100 metres and if a midget makes 200 metres, its 200 metres. They’re not dominated in defence, they make more ground than their opposite numbers in the vast majority of games and as a three they’ll comfortably be the best in the comp when they’re at 11, 12 and 13. ]

I don’t think we need to look for issues that aren’t there. There is one glaring issue and that is the lack of one bruising prop through the middle to use at the start of games. It’s encouraging IMO that what we need is so obvious. A better goal kicker wouldn’t go amiss but ultimately we have one hole in the team when everyone is fit and available. We can get better with the ball in attack but that was going to be naturally clunky to star with, when you’re minus French, Gildart, Manfredi, Marshall etc and are playing forwards in the back spots.'"


Exactly, I don't care who makes the metres. it doesn't matter

Defiantly a British term for a time served tradesman who is good but maybe not the best.

Seems to have become a derogatory term when it’s intention is actually complimentary.

Only ever heard it used to describe someone with multiple clubs and little success or in boxing for someone with multiple fights and little success. I have no idea what "soccer" is.

I still don't think our pack is full of journeymen whichever definition we use.

Our pack is 1 prop away from being very good.

It’s that simple in my opinion.

Looks like super coach Ian Watson will be available soon.

Next Wigan coach?

I'll bite...

I've said that I don't like Lam as a head coach & that is based off more than this season's results. Likewise, I like Watson for the same reasons.

I'll happily state what I want - I want our "Bellamy" i.e a long term option of a head coach. One that will develop players (like Lam has done) & make the tough decisions + be here for 10/15 years +.

That might be too much to ask, but I feel that SL is so up and down that a good coach can take what we've got (great kids/players) and be dominant over a decade.

Is Lam that guy?

For all the success Bellamy gets a lot of stick for ruining the game through various tackling and ruck control techniques. Sound familiar? The major upside is the Storm can play attractive rugby and Bellamy is outstanding at developing players.
