A good quote from Maurice in the evening post:
http://www.wigantoday.net/ViewArticle2. ... eID=847338
"we missed Craig Smith and Terry Newton so much.
"I know that Craig is leaving us at the end of the season, but he still puts his body on the line whenever he's fit to play.
"We don't know yet if Craig will be fit to face Leeds, but all the evidence suggests that we certainly need him back."

So again, why are we letting him retire??? :angry:

Hes retiring because we have bought Seu Seu. Maybe not quite as skillful as Smith but a lot tougher and a bit younger. Ideally we would be better with Smith,Davico,Seu Seu and Sculthorpe but it looks like the salary cap will stop us. We could of kept Smith and not bothered with Seu Seu but Smith may only have another year left in him whilst Seu Seu may have 3.

Yes, but this season has shown that we need 4 props to rotate...two starting, 2 on the bench. (and although the youngsters like Prescott are showing promise, I don't think they're quite ready for a full season yet.)

We could have kept Smith and not bothered with Davico!

But that indicates logic and since when have logic and Uncle Mo existed in the same universe? :angry:
