Possibly, however alot of people still remember Joel signing a 5yr contract only to walk away from it a couple of months later. As for paying us back, if one try in a cup final is payback then...fair enough i guess. |

Whilst I wouldn't ever boo a Wigan player myself, I can understand those who would (although not in the context of a testimonial). I certainly wouldn't applaud him.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain

"Defect"! He's a young lad earning the best living he can, not a spy for goodness' sake. Good luck to him. He played well for us and I hope he continues to play well, wherever he moves on to. |

If Lockers wants him to play and the lads willing to I think that's fair enough. He's been a good (not great) player for Wigan who's left for more money and to experience living in a big city. He's done what 99% of people would do in his situation.
To boo him would be ridiculous but he also doesn't deserve huge fan fair. He'll get warm applause from myself and the majority I'd guess.
I say all that is he actually turning out or is this hypothectical?

I suspect not!'"
Whilst im not going to boo Joel and I dont blame him for taking the money, I think this comment is ridiculous. Joel doesnt even compare to Farrell. Not one bit. Farrell gave his absolute all to this club and left when he had no more to give, Joel signed a 5 year contract and then broke it after 5 months. The situations dont even come close as being the same. |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Slightly off topic but whilst we are talking about mercenaries has anyone seen that "c u Next Tuesday" Ashton parading around in a Saracens shirt while still contracted to Northampton? It wouldn't be out of caracter would it.

Apparently the Joel rumours are a windup. He's not playing.

Sam is talking about them on twitter it seems very tongue in cheek though I'd say 100% windup. |

Are the players turning out tonight in Wigan shirts or the SOL13 shirts? Not seen it mentioned on any of the links I've looked at. |
