He was MOTM against Leeds at the end of last season. If he keeps that up he'll do alright next year! :eusa10: I hope :eusa10:

Therefore it another rumor from RFLfans that the media have got hold of.

Richards i think is a good player, DV has been a disapointment but on his last few games seemed ok and if he gets a decent run and is injury free then he can be just about the best centre in SL. Then again if he carries on playing like he did for most of the time here we need rid.
Richards is a decent player but Vialeki is not! For nearly three seasons now he has looked terrible, and i still say this, without Orr to cover his arse in defence next year, he will be exposed so badly, not even Leigh would want him as a water boy!
Funny thing you mentioned Orr most wanted him gone and yet when he left most wanted him to stay.

DV has the potential to be a great player. Problem is he has been injured too long and that might have taken a toll.
I never wanted Orr gone. I think throughout his career at Wigan he always defended well, it was just he seemed to reach his full potential in attack early on! Vialeki is both bad in attack and defense! He has slowed down to nearly a standstill. Orr delivered some great performances this season, so i felt had justified his place in the team for next year! Vialeki at best has been ordinary, and at his worst, totally garbage! How many chances do you want to give a man, who is causing us to miss out on good players to sign, and forcing the club to release good academy talent, due to the massive salary hi is on! No more chances, time to get shut!!!

Sounds more like Orr again.

A highlight reel of DV would be a looped clip of him smacking sculthorpe on the ground...

By far the most over-paid under-performing waste of salary cap space in any team in the modern game :(

My assessment of the situation. Surely most clubs have their 2007 roster sorted already, particularly the 20/25 is going anywhere. That being the case, nobody who remains and is part of our 20/25. So Richards and DV are here to stay.

So who the .. are we signing?

It's meant to be the promoted club that has difficulty signing players. :blush: :conf:
