Bagged??

I called the re-signing of Thornley the first time we re-signed him

This is now the second time we have been panicked into wasting money on a talentless three-quarter who failed in his previous two stints at the club.

As for squad building. If he isn't going to be in the first team why waste money on him. This recruitment stinks of him being the replacing for Gildart

As for Gelling. I am finished with the club for ever if this is the "quality" it sees as moving the team forward and as fans if you cannot see you are being duped then please give me your bank details and log password in in the spaces below

Yes Josie there is a tremendous amount of negativity which I suspect is born out of fan frustration,

Its the internet. Everyone on here has extreme views. The regular fan in the street isn't represented here.

They seem to be on Facebook

Some of those groups on Facebook are terrible! I thought Redvee was bad for saints fans but some of the wigan posters on Facebook make me cringe!!

Have we ever signed anyone 3 times before?

[Wiganer Ted]

Sam Tomkins?

[endoman]

Sam was only 2 wasn't he, initial and from NZW? Thornley did some time in RU I think prior to us signing him a second time. My memory may fail me of course.

That’s why I rarely go on FB anymore with the constant moaning about Wigan Warriors & RL in general.

The political posts as well. I’m not politically minded but I did have a bit of a lambast on Twitter about the horrible little man Dominic Cummings!

I’ve taken a leaf out of your book Josie and am having a nice break from FB it’s nice wandering round the net for rugby news again,I don’t do Twitter so I’m clear of that cesspit.

Thornley to replace Gildart? Not ideal, obviously. If it came to that. And it might not. But if it meant we'd secured George Williams, I'd take it. We are top of the league now with two second-rowers playing in the centres most of the time. Another actual centre in the squad wouldn't hurt. And, as evidenced by our league position, halves win you more games than centres do.
