Hughes or Burke
Did we make a mistake in letting Jack Hughes go and keeping Greg Burke.

Re: Hughes or Burke
Thought both played OK last night, Burke doesn't seem to give penalties away like Hughes freely does. I think Greg Burke has come on and can sustain his place in the Wigan team.gillysmyhero wrote:Did we make a mistake in letting Jack Hughes go and keeping Greg Burke.
Re: Hughes or Burke
Hughes 100%.
Burke has been nothing more than average. Needs to step up big time

Re: Hughes or Burke
I can't see anything in Burke if I'm being honest. When he was on loan at KR last season I know they rated him and from what little I saw of him I thought he did well. But so far this season i just don't think he's brought anything to the team. Hughes on the other hand I think he's improved massively since he's left us. It's interesting how people's opinions on players differe
Re: Hughes or Burke
Hes a down grad on previous lads we've had who are 18th/19th choice in a full fit squad. Ie tuson, Hughes, Patrick.
Would have all those over Burke.

Re: Hughes or Burke
It was never a question of either or. Hughes was ready to leave and needed to be a starter. Burke IMO is under rated because he is not a showy player but clubs / coaches always seem to want him more than fans do.

I agree. It wasn't a choice there to be made at the time Hughes future was to be decided.cpwigan wrote:It was never a question of either or. Hughes was ready to leave and needed to be a starter.

Always felt Hughes was underrated and suffered from being moved into the centres when at Wigan.
As to Burke I also agree. I think he is underrated. He seems to make very few errors and I think he must be doing what Wane wants of him or he would not make the side as he has been.

I don't think Hughes is a loss at all!!

Re: Hughes or Burke
If everyone is fit then Burke is in the reserves, and is a back up player. He has only made over 40 metres once this season and is averaging only 27 metres per game. he doesn't make many mistakes though.

Re: Hughes or Burke
And Burke is no more of a guaranteed starter than Hughes would have been, hence his desire to move!cpwigan wrote:It was never a question of either or.
