God wrote:Mossop IMO wasnt the best prop at Wigan you can trawl through all my previous posts and NOWHERE you will see ive rated Mossop as the best prop we have. I can live with him leaving because we have equall or better props already at the club.
Who is better? Prescott? Dudson? Flower? Taylor? Spencer? Lauaki? Cosby? Burke?
I would suggest none of them are. I would say he is better than any of them which is also why he was the target.
Makes great buisness to cash in and improve the contracts of others with the space available.He had his heart set on the NRL even his brother has said "All the hard work has paid off"when the announcement was made, Surely playing for Wigan is the pinnacle.
We don't need the money so why is it great business?
Nobody on this forum knows the finantial situation of Wigan Rl NOBODY unless the clubs accountant is on here and could shed any light on it.For all we know the club could be breaking even.
Yes we do. Wigan publish accounts every year.
Dudson should never had been signed, neither should Ben Flower...Harris was supposed to be a bad appointment yet we are top of the league. Cross was supposed to be rubbish and past it.
Peacock is supposed to be past it yet hes been mentioned as an early man of steel candidate. Age is nothing in this game hell Menzies i would have at the club and hes 40 its how you look after yourself. Im reserving judgement untill he actually plays a game.(Powell)
Sorry but that is rubbish. Powell is not a veteran RL player who knows the game inside out like Menzies or Peacock. He's a rookie at 31.
Looking at the yougsters and how good they are im confident we will be up at the top on a consistant basis for a number of years its never been this good.
The youngsters are great. Burke in particular looks outstanding. My concern is the player drain. You can make all the excuses you want about what has happened this week but when Burke makes his mark and he leaves what then? As fans its no good saying "well there will be another Burke". We want to watch them in their prime and then some. Not see a glimpse of their potential and see them realise it elsewhere.
What happened on Tuesday was an indication of weak our sport is in the face of competition from RU and the NRL. I think IL realises this and I hope despite the t**d polishing exercise he did at the press conference there is no future in keeping things are they are. There was a hint of this in the Andy Wilson article but despite that we are in a pretty bad spot as a sport at the moment.
