Can I borrow you’re high horse please? If not just let me have my soapbox back! |

It’s the risk Wigan have taken. I think you’re right that he will screw up again, but Wigan have taken the risk that he won’t do it in the next four years.
Personally, I don’t think he’s worth the risk and I’m glad he didn’t re-sign for a Cas (and I’ve said it from day one if his suspension!). His defence to taking cocaine was that he has mental health issues that prevent him from making rational decisions. He’s a ticking time-bomb, but Wigan have taken the risk that the fuse is long enough for him to get through a long contract before he blows up again. |

The big question now is will we get anything out of Sam for the rest of the season?
Though I admit, we'd struggle to get less out of him than we've had since his own departure was announced.

Is there a report to say if Wigan are part paying his salary?

No loss at all and definitely money spent better elsewhere.

So since the beginning of the season we've now lost (without replacement):
Gelling
FPN
Joel
Surely there's spare cash in the pot to recruit in for the rest of this season (even if on loan)? Or will the club just ride it out with the squad we have left? |

Was Sarge the replacement for Gels? I could be wrong.

You’d have to think there’s room. I think Sarginson was signed knowing Gelling was going but there doesn’t look to have been replacements for McIlorum or Nuuausala and now a reporter high earner like Joel Tomkins is off the books.
In the short term I’m expecting we’ll move for Greenwood and that will be a boost. In the longer term the club has zero excuses for not being able to strengthen across the board. I’d imagine Hardaker and Greenwood will be on well less then the Tomkins brothers so that spare cash along with the salaries of McIlorum, Nuuausala, Sutton, Bateman and whoever else leaves (fringe players such as Higginson and Bretherton have reportedly already been told they’re being released) should be available. Yes a couple of lads will have had increases but the club simply must be aiming to get in another prop (or two), a centre and a scrum half.
