As most of your posts are on a wendyball related thread, i'll leave that accolade to you.... Jog on you tool....

Are you for real? Gleeson was instrumental in us both reaching and winning the GF last year. Roberts was the best player in SL up to his injury and was everyone's shout for MOS...that's above eventual winner Pat Richards and this year's favourite, Sam Tomkins. Have a word with yourself!

No need for that pal. Only a RL message board, debate don't hate.

More ridiculous posts from Wolfs. Will we see the usual Wire mods defence of their fellow supporters...or is this a thread too far?

Possibly a bit harsh on Ron?

I totally agree with all of the above but it was Wigan's choice to release Gleeson and you were picking Goulding over Roberts last season and Charnley this season. My original post wasn't intended to wind others up, was simply stating that we have a few injuries on the cards at the minute and then it was turned into a dick measuring contest. Not my intention.

goulding was being picked as roberts was still carrying injury which was operated this season...only now just getting back to full match fitness

Didn't he play a few times earlier this season and alot for the Under 20's last season? Apologies if wrong. I obviously don't have as much Wigan knowledge as you lot but I'm quite conifident that Charnley would start before him?

Roberts has been pretty much gash for his entire stay at Wigan bar about 2 months where he played well above himself.

Even when fit he plays in your reserves these days - he'd be nowhere near the side. Who are you dropping for him: Tomkins, Charnley or Richards?

Gutted for him. He was looking really aggresive and he would have been a real weapon for us. Wigan career over.

I know where you're coming from but whilst I agree that his 1st season wasn't all that (he came over nursing an injury, was unable to do pre-season and suffered what many do in their first season over here) by the start of the 2nd he was on fire, something that was prematurely curtailed due to a very serious knee injury. I agree he wouldn't get into the team on current form but that is comparing apples and oranges. The original post I was replying to was about injuries and we have been deprived of the form SL player from the beginning of last season through injury. I can't see how you could object to that appraisal. Indeed I'm sure you posted about Roberts yourself during that period as being sensational or similar.
