Embarrassing if true. Why do the club feel like they need to do these big announcements? No other club does it.

Fair enough if it’s a huge signing and they want to drum up some interest but a player 90% of Wigan fans and the rest of the league haven’t heard of.... joke
Most club make announcements for player signings, nothing wrong with a bit of build up. It gets people talking and generates interest.
You’re right, but for BIG name signings not someone who Castleford are letting go.

Unless Radlinski says we have signed David Klemmer and Corey Oates I’m not holding my breath.

It’ll be an anti climax

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

It's always an anti climax, it's rumours & speculation we, as fans, have probably known about for months! Why our club has to put these headlines only for it to be a disappointment to many is beyond me!
Why not just get on with it in the first place instead of all this hype?

I haven’t seen any other club in Super League say that they have a big announcement coming up.

No problem with doing it but the news itself has to warrant the build up. In Wigan’s case, it rarely does.

Is this another sign that IL and KR are very naive ?

Yes definitely. Three of the best we've had at the club
