you don't get rid of players because they have one season where they suffer a few injuries, think we might have learned that lesson the hard way when we released Sean Long after his knee injury..........

Justa matter of opinion who each person likes or dislikes. Regardless of his appearances I just don't rate him at the standard I would expect to see at Wigan.

Why what does that get Wigan? A sense of 'well done' heres another one over the old enemy? Sorry but I'm a realist, doing what we can and being smart to win the GF is far more important.

Now we are another twelve months on, do you still feel like that about Hansen?

Firstly I don't know if this is a dig or a genuine question. I feel pretty similar he's a good player, not a world beater, no Hock or Hoffman per say. I think he does a job, been off the boil in the last few weeks.

I feel in time the likes of Jack Hughes will surpass him.

It's not a dig mate. Just wondering.

I agree he's been off the boil these past few week's, but the majority of the team aren't clicking which won't help.

Totally agree, despite us being top of the league, players looking over their shoulders, especially the props, is a good thing. I wish Stuart well, it can't have been an easy time for him.

To be fair he brought it on himself, if he had stuck to plan he would have been back playing months ago, but he had to be the big I AM and do more in training than he should have done resulting in another injury, he can leave for me, too little too, god forbid some numpty gives him a new contract because he has one or two good games, we need younger fitter players in the squad even if they are 29 they still got 3 years on Stu

So just say that then?
Don't try and perpetuate an injury MYTH. (TBH I think people are influenced about Prescotts injury history because of statements like "he's never fit" and "he's always injured" and assume he's been like this for the last 4 years! Rather than look at the Facts of the situation).

If you think this seasons injury problems are a good enough reason then fair enough that's your opinion.
If you think he's not good enough (And it would be inbteresting to note is Error rate/Penalty count to other SL front line props over that same period wouldn't it?) then fair enough.

If you think that Hansen is a waste of space (Thanks for that Matty, I'd forgot who it was who came up with that earlier in the year!) then fair enough

Yeah I remember all the inbreds jumping on me for my comment about Hansen a while back, the names that I was called over a post was a total disgrace, highlights some of the attitudes and intellect of several posters on here, so forgive me for questioning your question.

I bet half the people on here don't or can't even remember what I even said.

No doubt after your comment the inbreds will be sniffing to have another pop at me on mass.

Funny how nobody brings up how I stated Sam should be given a chance at FB etc...

Gets it's just the mentality of some of the posters on here.
Some poor lad was ripped on the rumours and signs for discussing a rumour about a signing yesterday! Whatever next!

As far as i am concerned, the more fit and healthy players we have the better. I don't care about previous form, injury record or any other factor. In the play-offs we should play the best team available, based on ability and current form. If Dudson/Fielden show they are fit and playing well then get them in the team, if not leave them out.

Sentiment should not come into it. This should apply to Richards and tommy too, but luckily they both look ok for the play-offs.

Basically, just play the best available team in the play-offs.

why?
beat them and we;ll have them again next week in round 1..........lose and theres a good chance we'll have Cats.

no..gift them 3rd...beat Cats and have a week off with club call.

week 2
cats beat rhinos, saints beat hull
week 3
saints beat wire....we beat Cats again (with club call)
week 4 GF
we make a new song for next season
6 TIMES IN A ROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I think you take your own advice and read what I wrote

I said if you don't rate him - fair enough
I said if you think his injury record "this Year" is enough to get rid of him - then fair enough

Isn't that me accepting that you can have an opinion?

I said if you are stating that he is "Always injured" (Your words so yes I did read what you posted) then his injury record for a FACT is not that which is perpetuated on this site by SOME posters.

As for the Hansen bit, I took it from Matty's post that you were one of the people who'd said we'd won 8 games without him so we may as well get rid as he's overated?
If you weren't I apologize (Matty, thanks for getting me in trouble).
If you were then I think you need to respond and let Matty know if your views of Hansen have changed?

I didn't want you to "Bite", I wanted your opinion on Prescott "always being injured" and if you felt that was still a fair argument based on his injury record over the last 4 years rather than the last 4 months?

If you want to get rid because of this years injury record - fair enough, I'll let other people judge that opinion and form their own opinion as I know what mine is.
If you want to get rid because he loses ball in contact too easily - Fair enough. I'll let other people judge that opinion as I will too (Wonder if we can get some error/penalty stats to back this up)

If you want to get rid because "he's always injured" (Your words not mine) and that means that he's always been injured over the last 2/3/4 years. Then fair enough - I just think that opinion is wrong and the facts wouldn't back up your argument?

My, we do have a bee in our bonnet on this subject don't we... For what its worth i don't think he will get another contract with us, but that does not stop me, and many others here wishing him well. You need to get some help in resolving this anger...
