| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Why wouldn't we? Offloaded Sam Tomkins who was our marquee player and top earner. It's a live cap, we've only brought in Hardaker since Tomkins and Bateman left, and Hardaker isn't a marquee signing.'"
Signed Hardaker and Bullock and gave Manfredi, Davies, Marshall, Gildart and Isa new deals, which I presume would all be increased given that all of their stocks have improved to varying degrees. I'm told Sam only counted for £75k against the cap, Hardaker bound to be a similar cap hit even if we were paying Sam more.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

| Sammutt signing for Wigan just emphasises everything that's wrong with Rugby League over here. A 32 year old average player taking up an overseas spot. I've argued for years that we should be getting the quotas down to a maximum of three and the fact that Wigan have done it doesn't change my views. I obviously hope he does well but if we were going to sign an overseas player I would much rather us have signed a Gabe Hamlin type "project" player.

Are you sure the Davies, Marshall and Gildart deals only kicked in from 2019?

Has the club written next season off and decided to wait until Edwards starts?
Lost 3 of our better paid players last season and replaced them with Ste Bullocks and Jarrod Sammut.

| What a disgraceful welcome most of you have given to our new signing. What must the poor guy be thinking when he reads the negative comments surrounding him?
And what must Lam and Edwards be thinking about the comments which indirectly are questioning their judgment?
I remember "supporters" being just as negative when we signed the likes of Platt, Byrne, Cowie, Hall, Panapa, etc to name but a few.
Please stop this negativity and get behind and support the guy and his coach.

Sam got offered more from Catalan which helped of course,you only have to read between the lines from the press when it was announced to see that.
As for Sammut this is a very poor move,never thought Lam jnr would come but this lad Christ almighty is he better than what’s here I’m not so sure sometimes you twist whe you should have stuck,this is one of those times in my opinion.
As for ever thinking of Widdop in a Wigan shirt I think this blows that hope out of the water.

WHAT?
Sorry captain high horse, but I will continue discussing signings with other supporters if and when and how I like. Sorry but this is the real world, we can't all be happy and champion new signings and back our coach when we're unhappy with the signing.
If you don't like it, gallop off.

I hope that messageboard comments won’t affect his day to day preparation to be honest otherwise we really have scraped the barrel. He’ll get the support in the stadium when he wears the shirt but all of those players above weren’t at the back end of their careers were they? The game is not played on paper but there are no positives to this signing, it goes against what we are led to believe is the culture of the club, which I’ve always believed to be signing the best or signing players who we believe have the potential to be the best.

Rubbish. Sam would have happily seen his contract out. It was the club who wanted to renegotiate to save money. Does anyone actually believe Sam wouldn’t have stayed here on his existing marquee deal? Instead we sign players like Sammut? IL must think we’re all mugs.

Sam initiated the move as did micky mac. Sam will be a miss for sure but trust me if his replacement hits the ground running we will have no problems this year.
