George Burgess

If these signings come to fruition then stay away fans cannot gripe. I expect them to put their money where there mouth is.

I agree with what you say but signings like this are long overdue, if of course Burgess and French do sign.

No they will just find a new reason to stay away.

Do not be silly. We moan whatever the situation is. We will just have to moan about something else. It is the way for RL fans.

Have to come back on just to post on this. If we snare these signings i will be frog marching down to the ticket office for my season ticket. Not had one for 3 years and selected my games as per want as i saw the club as looking to do things on the cheap and constantly not replacing quality players, drug problems, player problems, etc etc. My faith in the club will be partly restored and these building blocks bode well for the future after a turbulent few years between the club and the fans. Parity needs restoring and the club making a statement of this magnitude will certainly improve this. Money for me is very difficult to come by after all my bills come out but will happily make a bigger effort. Talking on whatsapp to my rugby mates, we are already planning next seasons away days (dates permitting) and have missed Huddersfield away. Good boozers.

Great to read that. Burgess would be the first statement of intent signing I can think of since Barrett.

You’re 100% right SEFC, but don’t hold your breath.
Too many keyboard warriors, and finding something to moan about is always easy.

The irony. Someone moaning about fans moaning

Now if fans at Hull or Salford or Warrington etc etc didn't "moan" you might have a point

Btw I DO put my money where my mouth is and have had a season ticket since the mid 80's

This signing (if it comes off) is about time and starts to show a real statement of intent that the club still aims to sign the best and pay for them. Something I think every fans, whichever side of the fence you sit on, must agree has not exactly been the case over the last few years irrespective of claims we spend to the cap

Got told by some one in the know that we have signed Burgess but he is not sure about French .

My comment is not about you WoV it is about those who have used the lack of quality of signings as an excuse to criticise the owner and not back the club financially. I have criticised IFL but if the recruitment comes to fruition then that argument falls. If we want a successful team then we have got to support it.

I realize that sefc.

It was just the poster used part of your original post as justification to their own agenda with regards to Wigan fans and it "irks", because I do not think there would be one single Wigan fan complaining about this if it happens. Everything that has been said is exactly that. Provides the link between the ageing props of Flower and Clubb for Partington and Byrne to develop alongside. Adds massive size and power to our middle and also fills a position we are desperate for. It ticks boxes all over the place so to claim that fans would "find something to moan about" this potential signing the poster I originally quoted is doing exactly that themselves - you couldn't make that up
