If ever a match proved the true value of a player then tonight was that night. Always under rated by the vast majority of his own fans and seemingly his own club to the point a 2 year contract at Wakefield was better than a 3 year contract at his own club. I will not name names but just remember what people said when the Tuson news was released.
Tuson seems to have gone back to playing 10-20 minutes per game again with Farrell and Hansen in such good form. I think the opportunity to be a regular, starting player would be too good to turn down. Burke and Hughes are waiting in the wings and it just doesn't seem likely that Tuson will be able to keep those players out of the side in the next few years.
I liked Tuson as a player but it's hard to deny that he hasn't really come on in the last 2 years. He seemed as if he would be the ideal rep for Lockers but I'm not sure that's true any more. Other young players are beginning to overtake him in the pecking order.
If the salary rumours are true - is he really worth the equivalent of an overseas signing for either Wakey or us? Not sure about that.
So basically there has always been better players than him at Wigan!!
I've seen a lot better players than Tuson leave for whatever reasons and if he wants to claim he will get more gametime (as I seem to remember Eammon O'Carroll saying the same thing when he joined Hull FC) then fair enough.
Every player has there value both in terms of wage but also to the squad and I'm sure once the 3 year deal was on the table, Tuson felt he was worthy of more and moved on once his contract ended - no biggie for me
Tyson will never be more than a squad player, it's understandable that he wants to be a first teamer, but not at Wigan, never in a million years will he be good enough. Don't think it's much of a loss to us IMO.
Have we got a better squad player/players coming through that we could sign on contracts for less money? Or are there better squad players available external from Wigan who we could get for less money?
Has Tuson played his part? Really? I'm just going on the standards of Wigan RL, and IMO Tuson does not have the required ability, there are much better squad players.
Burke was better. He was tackling everything that moved tonight and showed some good handling. Tuson did what Tuson does, but in the context of that game it was a match where you would hope he might raise his game and show a little bit more but he was just the same as always, reasonable but nothing more. Hughes was crap but he's not looking comfortable at centre at all.
Tuson will be wanting to progress his career and play as much rugby as possible. I can't imagine he will have been too pleased by playing 10-20 minutes in some games even though he's been included in the side every time he's fit.
It wouldn't surprise me if Tuson wanted to become an important player within a side and be one of the first names on the team sheet. That was never going to happen at Wigan.
As useful as he is, he's not a patch on Lockers, Hansen or Farrell and so there's bound to be a limit on how much Wigan should be willing to pay him.
Spot on, which can is more then can be said about the usual anti Wane comments from the Chuckle Brothers.
God!! was truly vindicated tonight
