We need some players with a bit of aggression and who can get people going. Terry is that sort of player and, if he channels it correctly then that he will stop giving all the penalties away.
Thats Easy for me to say though.

Would be a strange strange turn of events if he did come back.

We never know, of course, whether Higham will stay of just follow Millward to his next club again

Tricky Dicky, I hope you are right on all counts. :cool: If it is announced on Monday I'll be happy to buy you a pint in the South Stand bar after the game.

Actually, just find A To B and tell him I sent you - he's usually first in the queue for the bar.

You'll recognise him - he's the one with the lovely blonde hair and big nose. Oh no, hang, on, maybe that's his dog on the picture..... :lol:

And you'd know because you kept telling everybody how good Vaealiki was.
If you disagree with my position on Newton try putting up some reasons rather than the rubbish above.
It was a stupid decision to get rid in the first place and Millward should have been sacked just for suggesting it, and then we wouldn't be in the situation we are now.
I don't know what your position with Millward as Wigan coach was but Mo made it a point to let Millward do the signings and so the Newton/Higham deal came off.

If you think Millward as coach should have been over ruled by Mo then we will never have a coach who can sign his own players.

When fit he is the only player in Superleague to come anywhere near as good as cunningham if not better. Due to his ban he's had the rest he needed to recover from the injury he was carrying last season and i think this ban will have improved his discipline. I hope Tricky Dicky is right because he's a liability we could do with looking forward to returning.
In my opinion Newton coming back is not going to save our season. I was never convinced he was as great as some made out anyway. He gets wound up, he can go quiet in a game so I just don't think he is all he is cracked up to be.

He will have some good games for the Bulls but if they get to a final I expect him to be targted and wound up because the opposition know he will react.

Put it this way, if it was a chioce between Godwin and Newton I'd take Godwin.

The only thing Mo did that what worse than signing and releasing players was signing Millward.

I'd prefer Newton,but Godwin is one player whos effort can't be questioned this season!

Yes we would, since Newton wouldn't have played in any of the matches so far.
