I thought he was very solid for us under Millward - he may not of been the most creative player in the world but thats not why we signed him then and its not why we have signed him now.
A grafter who will give 100% and knows how to conduct himself both on and off the field.

| The signing can't be desperation as there's nothing to be desperate about is there? Last time I looked we were double champions!!!
We've sold Mossop and recruited Pettybourne. Obviously the jury is out but right now no-one is complaining. We've lost Powell and Lauaki. Ok so Eric wasn't the worlds worst prop but he'd be no more than sixth choice. Powell on the other hand was a disaster. Correctly predicted by some. I wanted him to be given a chance and most fans were supportive. But he was a disaster. His defence being the worst of any forward I can remember. Though he showed some promise in attack to be fair. Now James couldn't possibly be worse. His performances for Wales were solid. Wane and Harris know a lot about him and I reckon they'll know he won't let us down on or off the pitch.

| Obviously not a first seventeen signing (possibly not even first 25). If he was to be called upon to play though you'd worry about whether he will have had any game-time whatsoever. With London being fully loaned-up I can't see any other Super League club being interested in a loan deal, which in itself defeats the object of him bringing experience to the Wigan squad anyway.
Have Wigan got a dual-registration (not that James could go anyway) deal with anybody or will players be sent to South Wales Scorpions again?

| I will wait and see how he performs before writing him off, Salford fans actually rated him last season and i think he had a good world cup as well. we still have dual reg with scorpions.

| I really cannot see why some people are getting so worked up about this. JJ is a seasoned professional who was considered enough of an asset to be given a job as a coach and just a few weeks ago was being complimented for his play in the world cup. Circumstance means we may need a bit of experience up front at a time when few/no marquee standard props are available so we have re-registered him. Remember that last time it wasn't him who was shocking, he never let us down and did what was asked of him.
I would hate to see the development of our juniors derailed by throwing silly money around like we did in the past. I trust that we have a plan, and that this keeps it on track. I doubt that we will walk away with everything this season but thank God that we are not playing who's got the biggest cheque book?
One question though, is he being payed as a coach who will run out if necessary or as a player fully on cap?

| If you guys are not wanting him a Dual reg with the Scorpions would be top rate thankyou!
Solid player for club and country, as said nothing creative, hold on tight and run up the middle.
Also great bloke!

| I was gutted he left salford. I thought he was one of our best players last season. Still gives it his all, the try against Huddesfield last season when 3 huddersfield players bounced back of him on the try line was quality. Hope he does alright for you
