SMITH SIGNS FOR WIGAN!!!

[cpwigan]

Matthew sorry but all I hear are empty promises from IL and where the hell is Lydon? Whatsmore, the messages are like the rhetoric / empty promises you get from politicians. So thus far all IL has proven is he is a politician. He has lied (Higham) and he is OTT on how good things are/players are. Forgive me I do not want a politician, I want somebody who turns this club into a winning club. Can Trent be replaced? Yes. Why not offer Saints 400,000 for Pryce, NRL clubs are having huge financial issues, knock on the doors of those clubs and say we want Mateo or a similar quality player. Prince has been snubbed for rep honours, have a go. Hell we did not even compete for Bailey.

Sounds like somebody has spat their dummy over another signing that will keep one of the precious acadamy players of the scene again

How many games have you been to this season?

Stick to Turf

Whats that got to do with the price of cream crackers?

the fact is you saw your arse over the Phelps signing, why?

now you are doing the same over Smith, it is clear that these young ones are not near SL standard yet, if they where they would surely be getting a go. look at the wonder boy that is Goulding, all the praise and hype that was heaped on his young shoulders the other season (no doubt you where one of those doing so), obviously he wasn't ready, now look at the state of him, suspect in defence and hasn't got a clue how to pass, do you want the stars of the future to go the same way, just so we don't take a gamble on one or two players.

Just the fact you shout your mouth off without seeing any games live. Then you come here criticising players and having a dig at weaker forum members.

Thanyou for proving my point. The pro Smith comments have been wow one great season. Goulding got similar praise. You yourself have confirmed this. Explain how your views are contradictory.

There are plenty of members on here guilty of that. :conf: Can everyone stop the name calling? We all support the same team at the end of the day.

Sorry lol I just don't like confrontation.

i think its a good signing personally, but hope to see sam tomkins and smith teaming up sooner rather than later or even him leaving the club...

still really gutted to see our best half back since well i dont know when ( although i loved adrian lam myself) leaving the club but times are changong and you cant play at the same club and play forever...

im just happy we had chance to have someone like trent barrett at wigan i never thought i would see it personally, an aussie that came over here still worth paying who was as good as he was in his prime...

LMFAO - And I haven't even had my two penneth worth yet!

Hey CPW, see your as positive as ever?

Top Post!



Btw, I think I already did this a while ago

It's negative-for-the-sake-of-it nonsense like this that is driving posters away from this once informative but now drearily uneventful message board.

The above post is the biggest heap of schizer I've seen in weeks. You haven't got a clue what's going on behind the scenes, either with regard to players, staff or finances, yet you feel free to liberally tar everyone with the brush of incompetence. You're even knocking Lydon because we haven't heard from him since he was interviewed on telly last week. Crikey, talk about scrabbling around for things to complain about. And as for your comments re. Ian Lenagan, you must be the only person in Wigan who can't see how he's slowly but surely rebuilding us after the wholesale mismanagement of the last few years. Just out of interest, how do you know he didn't offer 400 grand for Pryce? How do you know he hasn't spoken to a number of top Aussies? How do you know that we haven't got more signings to come for next year? The truth is that you don't - you don't have a bloody clue about anything. You just write him off as 'a politician', as if that's something to be ashamed of. Good grief, I'm glad he's a politician - thanks to his diplomatic skills, most club chairmen and players' agents will now talk to us again. Trust me, it wasn't like that this time last year.

Sorry, but I'm sick of this kind of undiluted schizer pouring from the gobs of idiotic, endlessly moaning Wigan fans. No doubt you were one of those miserable gets who used to stand at the back of the Spion Kob, slagging Hanley and Edwards off every match.

Do us a favour and put a sock in it.

By the looks of it, he is going to be barrets replacement.

We are losing our best player and one of the leagues best players and replacing him with a 1 season wonder player who seriously does have some problems.

Barret is a player that wigan totally rely on. Is this really what Smith needs? The whole team breathing down him to succeed.

Were replacing a stand off with a scrum half. Why ? ?

Were going to have the same problems for a while.

Lulu rarely gets in at first reciever. Therefor Tim smith will have to get in at first reciever.

If richards is our fullback. To be fair, the best fullback we have. He is hardly going to come in as 3rd man, behind a dummy runner and feed the centres and wingers is he ?

In my opinion we need to sort out a solid scrum half, who gets in at first reciever. With a solid scrum half who gets in at first reciever we can then look for a stand off to work off of him.

:baaa: Is probably the best reply

Would the pressure not be the same no-matter who Wigan signed?

Probably because there are no truly world class stand offs available to sign for next season! Smith will more than likely (if your keyed in with CPW) vie with Phelps for the 6 shirt for next season.

I think Bradford have more serious long term problems than Wigan - don't be so negative. Smith might just suprise every "doubting thomas". If not, Wigan have "supposed" contract "fallbacks".

This is a "coaching matter" and will not change, no matter who plays for Wigan!

So your saying - sign another scrum half then?

Maybe Smith will play the half role, with Leualui playing wider, who knows, especially with Barrett still at the club for this season. Maybe TL will be expected to play cover for Higham!?

Did this site not slag Coley off when we signed him last year before he even played a game he has turned out to a grafter in the team.I dont know whats happening on here some posters just slag off for the fun of it .Lets look positive and not negative lets give them a chance to see what they can do and that goes for JL and IL too.
