Yes paying four or five players over half the salary cap and having player(s) in the same team on £8.5K per year. Sounds like a plan, a bloody bad one!!! |

| Quote Jukesays="Jukesays"Maybe not
But if he's got a 3 year contract and is one of the 2 highest earners then what do you do?
You seem to have a very simplistic logic and I've seen lots of people with this thought pattern, hes no good get rid.
Very simple when your not the one dealing with the contracts etc.
Grimmy was asked a question why we couldnt just go and sign a half million pound a year player just because we have a multi millionaire backer.
Hes given everyone a perfectly 100% reason.
Nest year the top 2 earners will be Bateman and Burgess (rightly or wrongly).
Buying anyone else will have a massive impact on the salary cap and squad numbers if we are to offer them the type of money it would need to sign an origin level player, assuming theyd want to come here when they can get that and more and still be eligible to play origin and OZ back in Australia.

Get rid of him as he only signed for Wigan for easy money and Wigan only signed him for the publicity of signing a Burgess brother who is in fact no longer in the same class as his twin brother Tom and more so retired brother Sam.
A shame as when they were younger, he was the better of the twins. |

You're either a troll, or slow.
How do you get rid of someone on a 3 year deal? |

A lot of hate directed towards GB. The same level that Pat Richards had in his first season, though admittedly he wasn’t on the same level of salary.
Fact is he’s coming back from a bad injury. He needs time and leading up to the season postponement he was getting better and going well. People with their pitchforks out so early are, to be frank, ridiculous and short sighted.

It's not me who is out of touch on Burgess, just those who think that every player that Wigan sign is a good signing.
'
And to compare Pat Richards who was in his prime when he came to Wigan with a player who is near the end of his career, not been offered another contract by South Sydney or any other Aussie club who evidently no longer rate him, come with a bad injury and then given a three year contract is not good thinking on the part of the club and I am not the supporter saying it.
And supporters are entitled to express opinions on players signed by the club without the usual minute minority making snide comments about being on another planet or being a troll etc.

Until you keep dodging the question then you're a troll.
This has nothing to do with yours, or other fans thoughts on if he's a good signing. You said you'd get rid, but can't answer the question of how you'd do that when he's got a three year deal.
Ignoring contracts is out of touch with the reality of the situation. |

Unfortunately, that's not the way it works. Just because it's your opinion that doesn't entitle you to 'protection' from people having different opinions. |

Pat Richards was not in his prime when he came to Wigan at all. What was he, 24 maybe? |
