Which young home grown world beating hooker have we released to make way for Riddell?

Clarke?
Smith?
Talbot?

Like who exactly. You come on here with your knickers and facts in a twist and still fail to produce any examples to back up your point?

So come on lets be specific who are these awesome players we have let go? Unless you are able to do this i would suggest you will continue to look very very silly.

i'm looking thru this guys posts, can't say i can spot a board that he HASNT been on....

Yep. He's the long-haired, caveman-looking captain of the mighty Widnes - Hardly a huge loss.

Yeah but we should have kept all 3 because they're British! infact we should carry a squad of 197 players but they must all be British......doesn't matter if they're average!

It makes me laugh when opposition fans throw this at Wigan yet when you look at the likes of Wild, Brown and Robinson against Hock, O'Loughlin and Hansen theres only the last 3 that are international players!

So surely we're keeping the right ones

but then like Huddersfield/Wakey/Quins fans etc will say they're only internationals because they play for Wigan............we can't win.

I'd suggest you do your homework a little better next time, Bulldog man. You've been made to look a right plonker.

PLONKER hahahahaha....i love the banter on this site

none of the players mentioned in this thread are fat enought to fit in with Noble's transfer criteria. However as Leneghan seems to be the owner and now scout, you'll probably end up with 3 or 4 past it average aussies.

If you want to see what effect this will have just have a look at our team in previous seasons - lots of big ego'd superstars who think they are the team.

genius.

Previous seasons??????

still are

Che Smith is getting them sorted. He made it clear he only wants team players. It was clear he would take no S... when he sold gleeson to you.

Its surprising you are not calling our trusted leader, Dick Turpin after his highway robbery in getting £100k and an honest full back for a trouble maker with a bad attitude.

because nobody else in the league would have bought him for 50p.

Don't flatter yourself. There's nothing Wire can EVER teach Wigan, and there never has been.

Even with the crap side we've had in recent years, wev've got to semi-final after semi-final. The closest you've got is being French for a day - as if anyone gave a sh8t whose side you lot were on.

Because they were overhyped when they first appeared for Wigan?

Though Gilmour has been an excellent signing for us.
