Gildart

[wall_of_voodoo]

Well I recall irl_war was on the ball with news of wires recruitment of Williams, then there is no reason to not believe the other snippet of information he also posted that they have agreed terms with Gildart when he returns from the NRL the year after next

This ends the debate about him returning to us or not. He isn't and he has provisionally joined wire for 2023

We need to "get over it"

[up the junction]

The Coach needs to up his game , they don’t become bad players overnight ! It’s being coached out of them , it’s like they don’t know how to play together . Oli Gidart is still one the best home products we have had in a long time , to say otherwise is ridiculous.

And then nice uncle Lenners will say "come back home to Wigan Oli, Here's a nice new 4 season contract"
Then the sheep/Lenners loyal/Happy clappers will hail Lenners as a hero for bringing him back

So if he struggles in the NRL and comes back would you like to see him go to another club?

I imagine he'd do a Williams anyway and go for a "new challenge "

1. Why would I want to re-sign a former player who chose big money over playing for Wigan

2. Why would I want a former player that struggled and failed in the NRL

3. Before anybody mentions it, I couldn't care less about the usual "it's a short game crap", You either want to play for the most famous RL club in the world or you don't, If you are as good as you think you are then you will get paid well

4. Sorry if I offended anybody with my earlier comment above

Haven't been the biggest club in RL for years the challenge Cup record will be gone in the next couple of seasons.

The cap means we are on a level playing field.

Who's to say he will fail (I personally don't think he is bulky enough) and doesn't choose to come back like Bateman or Williams who are hardly failures.

If we need a better centre and a player is the best one available I don't care if they are an ex player or not

Ha, I thought someone had caught up but checking again I am wrong last win 2013 though

So the challenge cup alone defines if a team are big or not?

Where has anyone even said that?

[cherry toffee]

You said they hadn’t been biggest club for years and gave the challenge cup as your only reason

No I didn't I said we haven't been the biggest club in years and suggested we are going to lose our record in the challenge cup soon (incorrectly)

If we were the biggest club in RL player would want to sign for Wigan not just have us as an 'option' we also wouldn't be losing players to the NRL.

If its accepted that the NRL is miles ahead of superleague and we see Wigan youngsters aiming to get an NRL Gig then how can anyone say we are the biggest club in NRL.
