They seem to think its their God given right to take players or staff from Wigan or any other RL club. If RU is so good then how come they can't bring their youth players through instead of trying to sign Richards.
If I was a youth winger at Sale I'd be bitterly disappointed in the lack of faith shown in me by the club.
And speaking from a football fan's point of view, what's happened to Stockport County since Sale moved into their ground is a disgrace. They've gone from a steady League One/League Two club to looking down the barrel of Non-League.
For those reasons I would not lose much sleep if Sale got a poor attendance at Bolton and then eventually got relegated from the Aviva Premiership. |

I do agree with what you say, in that Wigan need to be very careful and be sure that Richards is fully fit. It may sound a tad harsh, but it's a professional sport.'"
My thoughts exactly, what does seem apparent is that a number of fans want fans favourites around for ever but the time comes when we have to consider what is best for the team and the continued success of the club and if that means allowing players to leave who arent able to meet the standards being set by the current regime then unfortunately they must be let go.
As long as we avoid the David Vaeliki situation as he had the same injury and was quite clearly not able to perform at levels he had shown back in Aus and Uncle Mo didnt recognise this and was ripped off IMO
Be thankful Pat isn't a greyhound he'd be put down. |

good post, when we signed DV he was classed as the best centre in the world and then got the same injury as Pat, look how he turned out. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Just to clarify. I really hope that Pat comes back to be the player we knew, but we have to be sure before offering him a new contract.

Exactly - Hopefully Pat will recover fully and be back to the player he was and sign a new contract - after all stability is a big faxtor is coninuing success. But, good though Pat undoubtedly is it is not as though he is a player we would miss hugely, a goal kicking winger ..... Charnley seemed to fit that bill pretty well against Hudds.
Whichever way things pan out the team/club will manage.

There doesn't seem to be much point in Pat going to Sale RU for one simple reason: he's an Aussie. He'd get far more recognition going to play in the NRL when his Wigan career is over than playing club RU in England.
Both Ashton and Eastmond went for the glamour of playing for England RU, something not afforded to Pat.

You wiganers keep telling me he's Irish! www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/ma ... -st-helens
"There is no chance of Richards making his comeback in rugby union with Sale, as had been reported, but a Sharks spokesman confirmed that they would be interested in signing him on a permanent basis if he fails to agree a new deal with Wigan beyond the end of this season." |
