Quote: THEOriginalWire "solomona was part of a pack that ran ragged over yours on friday simple. sam seemed to respect the beast, maybe you should too. its a shame that NONE of your forwards can play rugby beyond just a 10 yard drive, ill stick to Sol ta.

Overweight?? Lima is shorted and heavier than Solomona. so you can shove your overseas and overweight.'"

It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg



You're right Solomana is rubbish, it's awful that he has the hands of a stand off, and throws probably the best bullet pass i've ever seen and that he draws in 4 men then somehow manages to offload the ball. We need to get on to the PFU Chairman and tell him to have a word with Solo, take a drive make 10 yards fall to the floor and play the ball.

Fat, who cares he's effective and don't try to compare him the to the fat waste of space Feka.

So I have finally managed to rewatch the incident, Sam has his left arm locked by Westwood and is pushing away with his right arm. Westwood lets go of the ball to throw a punch (closed fist) which connects. The next two seem to miss, however Blyth runs in with the forearm and as Westwood regains his feet he then tried to get another one in but manages to hit the back of Hodgson.

Not withstanding the initial run from Westwood ended up with his forearm in Marsh's face.

The arm lock which prevents Sam from getting up can clearly be seen in the replay @ 43:00 on the clock.

"Flailing" absolutely not, clear punching.

Quote: 19 Leagues "Sam is in a completeliy differnt league to Solomona.

How many young british quality fullbacks do you have? Of course you would want Sam.

Why would we want a overseas, overweight, old second row with the only unique part of his game his offload, when we have Ryan Hoffman, Harrison Hansen, Liam Farrell, Joel Tomkins, Chris Tuson and soon to be Gaz Hock at second row? Of all the players I would want from the Wire squad he would be the last on the list.'"


The same reason you wanted and raved about "fat feca "for a few seasons .Feca makes solomona look anorexic.

ABW.:



Quote: Rogues Gallery "TW I thought that Westwoods "attack" was no more than a push in the face (happens every game) but maybe Tomkins was unlucky to be penalised.
Perhaps Wigan should have "done a Wilkin" on the Micky Higham incident.'"

Rogues, I'll reply before this thread gets locked because of all the stupidity from both sides of the fence. The Westwood/Tomkins incident was 'nowt nor something,' and has only been highlighted because of the two personalities involved. I think the penalty went the right way because Tomkins was delaying the PTB, but Westwood was lucky it didn't get reversed. As regards the Micky Higham thing, I think he was lucky to escape a citing, but I don't like this 'doing a Wilkin' thing. Did you watch the game on Saturday? I can't remember who it was now, but at one stage, whilst the ball was in play, Ganson asked a HKR player if he wanted to make a complaint. When the player answered in the negative Ganson simply played on.

[color=#0000FF:1a6njd9t]NOW THE WIRE![/color:1a6njd9t] [quote="JWP":1a6njd9t]Sam looks to me to be the type who 'disconnects' halfway through a game of FIFA when getting a good hiding, and that's just not on, Sam.[/quote:1a6njd9t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_48172.jpg



Quote: 19 Leagues "Your only argument with me seems to be that I called Solomona over weight and overseas, which he is... so i dont see your problem? Whats the point in comparing him to Lima anyway? They are two different positions, Lima is a prop and props aren known to be abit more on the heavy side (which if you ask any regular Wigan fan, Lima isnt, and what little weight he does have for a prop, is just muscle) Solomona is more like the feka/barry ward over weight as in just plain fat. And I still stand by the matter that he wouldnt last a minute in the current Wigan side with this regime.

This is definately my last say on the matter because like I said, i feel like I am arguing with a 12 year old boy. You are just coming out with irrelevant points and making yourself look like a fool.'"



again, HOW? by stating that you would have solomona, how can you say he would not add to your set of forwards? the man is a beast, 4 players on him and he still gets a good offload away. to say that you wouldn't have him just smacks of bitterness to me, so your right, let's just leave it. I know hands down i would take sol over lima, any day of the week.

I'll sign off just like you. You 13 year old little girl.

just so you know, not every post with a view that you dont agree with is irrelevant. That's just LIFE.

Interesting isn't it that they spent all his years at wigan saying how good of a player was until maguire came in, and now they cant have a fat player in the squad. Even feka might have added something to your worthless pack on friday.

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

TW,
The Wilkin thing was tongue in cheek, it wasn't serious. I don't like it either. We have a referee and a video review panel for that.

This thread really has, well I want to say derailed, but nah thats not it. More like it has been flying oncourse at 35,000 feet then suddenly lost power to both engines and nose dived directly into the Atlantic.....!

But anyway, on to the numerous replies with regard to Solomona; yes, he does possess love handles, he is slightly overweight etc, but his value for money is second to none. He's skilful, absorbs around 3 to 4 defenders at a time, tough, defends well and is quite frankly the fittest fat knacker I've ever seen! And whats even greater, is those liability areas you associate with Feka etc are non existent. He covers gaps well, and isn't targeted because he doesn't give an inch in defence.

Therefore I'm inclined t believe that Wigan would certainly have Solomona in their squad. And this isn't an 'our squad is better than yours' reply, because I'd take a few of your players to Wire if given the chance.
