77 replies and 6 pages of comments for an utterly crap, injury prone player with NO loyalty and all I read is Lenighan implied this and Lenighan implied that. Where are people asking - why has Thornley walked from Wigan twice?
All I know is we are shot of an over-rated player and maybe, just maybe, we might be able to play someone in the centre position who has one ounce of talent more than the tub of lard now on his way for "success" at Hull KR than the likes Goulding and Tuscon achieved on Humberside - rant over!!!!!!
What gets me is that some moan about not having a good Centre, but when we get rid of one who has not played a lot because of injuries and is no better than what is playing at Centre, all hell lets loose.
Where the signing or releasing of players is concerned, it is at the end of the day the decision of the club, no matter what we say or think.

Re: Lenegan not happy with Thornley
And you know this how?, in his first stint here he didn't set the world on fire, he left for Union and failed dismally, he came back, had a mediocre season, got injured twice, did a Stuart Fielden then signs for another club rather than trying to prove himself with us, he's took the easy way yet again, how long before he moves on frome there for another wage bump or how long before he's injured again and does the same at KR, it's not rocket science, he's a crap journeyman, simplesx Wigan Warrior x wrote:The pair of you are so off the bloody mark its embarrassing, you have your opinions but please he was and is far from a crap playerWhelley Warrior wrote:Spot on Butt Monkey, as with some and one in particular, its more to do with having the usual swipe at IL on anything rather than in this case, the actual issue of releasing or signing any particular player.butt monkey wrote:Jesus, who gives a monkeys what people think Lenighan implied or did not with his comments

Journeyman aged 23??? Have a word with yourself man!!! He scored 25 tries in 40 appearances that doesn't sound mediocre to me. He also scored in the Challenge cup final against Hull Ok only one game but a very big game. Some chairmen are shepherds and many fans are sheep. There's a good little lamb follow the rest of your herd.

Re: Lenegan not happy with Thornley
Our then chief exec saw enough ability in Ian Thornley to sign him for Sale, IIRC, when he wanted to return to League there was plenty competition for him and now he is still in demand.

Re: Lenegan not happy with Thornley
Personally I thought he was pretty poor as well. Never lived up to any potential others saw for me. I see a Championship future here.
