my brother just come back from Aus said they hate Trent now over there he was walking round with his Wigan top on with Barret on the back said he got lads of stick of them.

If this fella is good enough for Nobby, he's good enough for me.

He will be an even better signing if we have got him for little cash so leaving room for one more signing.

Utility back would be the best bet

Which, to me, puts a big question-mark against the reliability of the 'contacts' your brother made while he was over there.

Who cares what Aussies thinks. there just ed because theres nothing they can do to stop SL clubs buying there stars and it really gets to them.

What you going on about ?? it was nothing to do with contacts he made over there it was the general public who he was talking to when he was in pubs and stuff with his wigan top on talking about trent barret and wigan.

Maybe you didn't give enough information first time round.

It sounded, from what you were saying, that the same group of people who said Carmont was crap were also slagging Barrett off (and if they were, who'd listen to their opinion on anything?).

Either way, my original point stands. Other Aussie fans disagree that Carmont is crap. We need to wait and see.

Sorry if i dodnt make myself clear have to rush my posts sometimes incase the boss sneaks up and looks what i am doing.

I agree mate i am well prepared to give the bloke a chance deosnt seem the biggest of blokes but niether was lyon. Bring on the new season i say !

Very good news imo.

Hopefully he can cross the line and prove what a good player he is in the White and Cherry (:wink:).

Maybe one more signing to come?

carmont is an average player,honest and hard working,but nothing exceptional.also he is 29yrs old and without a club in the nrl.i wish the lad well hope he plays well for us.i wonder what peoples reaction would have been if maurice had made such a signing?

At the worst he will be DV but much less expensive so i don't see how we can lose with this one personally. If we are looking at another player i hope we are looking to someone who can cover the halfbacks and maybe hooker. Don't think we should be looking at a prop as we have 5 already.

I can't understand this signing at all. He's (quite a lot) worse than Vaealiki. Fair enough if you couldn't afford any better, but I honestly think giving one of the youngsters a chance would be a better option.

Carmont is the kind of player I'd expect someone like Wakefield to sign, not Wigan. The petition to keep him was a pis take.

We will be running with a youngster [ias well[/i as Carmont, that's how thin the backline is. And as we're recruiting with a lower budget than Wakey this year the simile is correct. For a short term signing it stacks up fine given the circumstances. As my old English teacher used to say - 'You can only s[ih[/iit with the a[ir[/ise you've got.'
