HA HA

I blame Brexit.

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.

Kris, is that you?

No that's true, I don't know that for sure.

None of those were at the tail end of a distinctly average career having failed at two SL clubs but done well at a L1 club (Workington) and in an arguably over achieving London side. There’s absolutely no comparison.

I’ll support him when he’s in a Wigan shirt but in mine, and a heck of a lot of other supporters opinions, this is a poor signing.

Cash flow is clearly an issue at the club. Right now we are investing in facilities and structures rather than the playing squad which is fine but hopefully the former will pay off in the next 5-10 years.

A bit of a 'luxury player' but a good addition to your Squad (in my opinion). I know clubs don't usually have 'half backs' on the bench, but against a tiring team, he'd cause problems !
If it doesn't work out, we (Leigh) will have him on loan !

You keep signing championship level players you end up with a championship level side.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

It shows how far Super League has fallen.

No chance I will be buying a season ticket. We are a second rate competition with bang average second rate players.

Every year our best players leave and we sign average players. This has happened every year since 2010. I haven't been excited by a Wigan signing since the Melbourne trio in 2011.

Truth is I don't blame the club. We win trophies. Promote youth. Do the best we can. It is just depressing for the sport in the UK the lack of top tier talent we can attract to this competition.

Our best UK players go to Australia. Cannon fodder players just float around Super League. The only big names we can attract as a sport are players that have cocked up in their competition and have nowhere else to play like Barba. After one year they are straight off again.

Pathetic. What makes this all the more sick is that when played at the highest level there is no sport that can compete with Rugby League. My conviction of that will never wane.

I am absolutely amazed at the wealth of coaching knowledge on this board , no wonder Wigan are such a successes full club with all these SL quality coaches watching from the seats

Have any of you ever thought of actually going out and trying to coach a real club ?

Leyther here , all the best

So is Escare just our reserve full back now rather than an impact player off the bench? Such a waste if we have him sat in the stands
