That sounds nearer the mark.

Apart from burgess who we all know Is looking for another crack at nrl who would people keep?

Fans have been calling for a clear out of players and on that list isn’t anyone who is keep apart from burgess

Sarge most fans want rid of - shorrocks would of made it by now and the rest are squad filler
My thoughts entirely. Put Josh Woods, Liam forsyth, and Josh Ganson on that list as well.
Everyone knows we need some decent signings, so we need to clear some players out to make room if new players are to come in.

I have seen that Martin Offiah, a players agent, has posted a couple of press releases this last couple of days
Martin Offiah questions whether Wigan Warriors will have 'right personnel'

Super League is now a feeder competition, says Wigan legend Martin Offiah

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Agree. Click-bait chasing headline writing. Wigan haven't done the offering. There was an email sent which was not sent by the Wigan club to other clubs saying which players were off-contract. Fair to assume that the agent of said players sent the email, to drum up either interest or gauge market value of their players, and then the same agent have leaked it to the cheap-content-click-generating websites that have published it.

Now, that is not to say all of the players will be staying, and it's not to say things are all rosy with how the club is managing it's playing squad right now.

Souths was another matter and he said in the Aussie media at the time that he would honour the contract he had signed with Wigan but that he would have stayed at Souths if no deal had been forthcoming

Sarginson probably returned on really good money after being released early from Gold Coast and I doubt he would take a cut to stay

Partington's stats were dreadful against Castleford but is still a surprise. The rest have all been at the club for some time and don't look like they are SL quality players, most will probably make a great career at championship level.

It's just simply the time to call an end to this pandering to keep as many players on at Wigan as possible to the detriment of the first team. Tough times call for tough decisions and this looks like one of those times
Only a few days ago, you told us stats were rubbish :lol: :lol: :lol:
You are the one use stats to say how good someone played - you use you're own opinion for that if you actually went to any Wigan games

What stats do thought is tell you the basic work someone did on the field of play - not the quality of it (I underlined that for you because it is important)

With 3 carries and 16 metres do you agree that Partington was not very hard working? You probably thought he was our second best player for Wigan against Cas

Yet at the same time you use stats to claim someone played well (which I think it was sefc) showed in a video clip, that most of Sam's tackles are second or third man in (but still counted to his total) .After all this. With the facts proving virtually none of our pack were up to much last Saturday you thought Powell was so good when in fact all he literally had to do was turn up to be better than some of our pack that day

Oh well. Put you "I love Sam Powell" T-shirt on tonight and cheer us on from you're armchair
I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:
