Re: Gareth Thomas
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Gareth Thomas
Was really disappointed when I first read this as he is not a Wigan class player, however look at it this way:
It is rumoured to be a one year deal. This will give us cover for George for next year FREE OF CHARGE if rumours are to be believed.
After this Thomas is used to build links with Rugby Union; identifying players who could make the crossover and enticing them to Wigan.
He is the biggest name to make the change in the Super League era and could be used to put us ahead of all other Super League clubs in this department.

“Usually the fans that abuse players like Sam have never done anything of any note themselves. They’re nobodies, whose greatest claim to fame is abusing someone who has, and these so-called ‘Eddie the Experts’ pretend to their mates that they have."

Sorry and no disrespect to GT but his name and George Carmont's should not be uttered in the same breath
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Surely Goulding and Marsh would have something to say about that!OJ wrote:Shaun1967 wrote:This will give us cover for George for next year FREE OF CHARGE if rumours are to be believed.

Re: Gareth Thomas
I think Marsh will go to Widnes. They have offered him a 2 year deal.
I hate the idea of signing Thomas and the way his salary has been funded by the RFL through his RL career shows how farcical the salary cap/the RFL is/are.
IL seems to work in a way contrary to my own thinking in that he massages egos at the RFL etc but hey he is a multi millionaire hugely successful businessman and I am me
Perhaps Thomas will hardly ever play (hope so) and is here to sell Wigan to Welsh people / attract young Welsh players.
