Quote jonh="jonh"We have to assess the situation, cap, contract upgrades and our long term squad.
The right player upfront was not available this year, so rather than waste the money be patient, there are some class players off contract in 2011 no point attempting to bring in a Prop on a 1 year deal as frankly i do not think any Prop accepting a 1 year deal would improve us in the slightest.
What we have here this year are the final pieces of the jigsaw being put into place.
2011 will be the last piece.
2010 should see us return to being competitive and realistic challengers, 2011 should see us become realistic front runners.'"
I know wat your saying but if we wanted someone to teach and develop sam whats up with leuleui....or if you want someone WC why not table an offer for orford like bradford have done or lockyer who was out of contract. To be perfectly honest the ONLY thing deacon can teach and develop in sam is his kicking game & pos his temprement on occasions. Other than that sam is already a better player than Deacon in every other area......deacon as a coach possibly, but for me as a player he is a waste of money and im shocked by how many on here seem to think his signing is a good thing.
The only positive I can see out of it is indirectly that at least it should displace riddell if he is as bad as last season, and so makes us slightly stronger in that department, - other than that i really dont see the point in bringing a player back to wigan who was only ever a decent player and not good enough for wigan in his pomp, and is distinctly average now!!
