I raise you New Zealand Internation David Vaeliki (I actually got Shivers just typing his name!).
This could be a good game?
Have we signed more Good players that turned out Bad OR Bad players that turned out to be quite good?

Let's keep this thread and bring it back in three years to see how Blake (and Gelling) went on.

And il ask you all this, since Lenegan came to Wigan, have we signed a BAD player? (Il kind of give you gelling bit he hasn't had a real chance yet)
Trust him and trust the club. They havent let us down since 2010.

Before someone mentions Karl Pryce (and they would have), he had a 100% strike rate. 16 tries in only 16 appearances for Wigan.

Over the long term I think that may prove to be a mistake, but he's finished top, so il reserve full judgement yet.

To be fair, we soon saw the error of our ways and fired him off anyway. Our problem is that some of our fans are stuck in the 90s and "expect" us to make huge signings, it wont happen because of the salary cap.
Would you move to Wigan from Sydney for the same/less money?
No?

only need the following reasons
SL cap only £1.65m (upto £1.75m with allowances)
NRL cap almost twice that of UK
Union Cap more than twice that of UK
Hard to attract top players when benefits elsewhere far exceed what SL can offer

| Quote: JWarriors "So not to sound too negative about this signing.
But seeing as Green isn't that old and the fact we've only given him a 2 year deal, it may suggest that this signing is just to fill the void until Powell, Hampshire and Williams are ready? (Rather than a Tommy like signings who we kept for a number of years.)'"
In two years time Rocky and George will be hammering at the door and Sam Powell will be turning the handle and pushing it open next season. |

It depends on whether we can prise Jonathon Thurston away from the NRL.
On another point, are there any class English halfbacks in SL? |

Richie Mathers wasn't one of Ian's fine moves.

Finch out Blake in.
Hmm not the best swap on paper is it?'"
I think it might be a good piece of business. |

I think we should vote you and hockmonster onto the board at Wigan, your obviously far more intelligent about RL than Ian lenegan, Shaun Wane, Iestyn Harris and Paul Deacon.
Green will go well. Give him a chance and stop pretending its still the 1990's, il say it again WE CANT SIGN TOP CLASS AUSSIES ANYMORE.'"
Correct, that is why we are signing the best of British junior talent. We have a gap to fill until the emergence of some very exciting youngsters. |

Green and Smith on paper looks like the worst partnership weve had since Orr and Moran, but thats more the reflection of the decline of super league than our recruitment. Think IL has done a great job in finding two new halfbacks, and they should keep us in the top three next year.

So would I, but given that I can't afford to move to Australia I'll have to hang on here and make do.
What you and I want has no bearing on the reality of sporting economics. |
