Welcome back Joe, we have missed you

[josie andrews]

If you take a look at the picture I posted earlier on this thread, I was always confident Joe would come back.

I wore that shirt at Langtree Park for the WCC between St Helens & Sydney Roosters. And I kept insisting that Budgie was 'On Loan' only

I am very happy, another young player I've followed from being a young lad at Bridge & in our academy.

Joe will be joining South Sydney Rabbitohs for the rest of the season until his return to Wigan.

Crap.

Another poor player returns back. Just like that crap full back Sam Tomkins. Should have signed Patrick Ahvan our best player last night that last ditch pass to stop a Widnes try to Gelling was great.

Haha, yes Gimble. Ah Van was head and shoulders our best player last night!

Josie, are you sure Joe didn't play for Pats at U3?

Great news Joe is returning.
I was disappointed when he went to Aus and now delighted he's coming back to Wigan.
He surely has the potential to be one of the best wingmen Wigan have ever had.
Many have likened him to Offiah but he reminds me more of Trevor Lake. His length of stride is deceptive and he is far faster then he appears at times. Until, that is, someone tries to catch him.
Great work by the club all round, well done them!

Take the piss out of him all you like, he made more metres than anyone in a Wigan shirt last night and makes less mistakes than some of our own untouchable players on a weekly basis

And he was 100% in his kicking last night.
