Coming back to Wigan,but he's made so many, how could you possibly pick just one.

It might have been an idea to keep Robinson seeing as we don't have any scrum-half for next season though.... :eh:pacman posted:
So he gets rid of Luke Robinson, the savour of all Wigan, the player who would of single handedly brought the glory days back!! Or so messages on this board would have you believe.
People have been dismayed that Mo could have even thought of getting rid of such a player. The same people who have been crying all season about how much we have missed Adrian Lam, and how they want him to play when not fully fit etc. Now call me a cynic but isn't that double standards?!
How can people one minute cry that they want a crocked scrum half in the last year of his career to play instead of the child prodigy who they would have you believe is the greatest player of all time?
I would interpret recently as the past couple of years. If a player doesn't play well for two years he's gone!...up till recently he has been a good chairman overall.
This isn't what was being said at the time though. I remember when it was announced he was staying, and I don't remember anyone on here complaining. He'd had a great season and losing him at the time would have been a disaster. Let's be honest, he hasn't had an outstanding season..not many have but his experience alone has probably kept us in super league this year! (maybe over exaggerating a little there..)The reason for letting Briscoe and Johnston go was to keep Adrian Lam for half a season. Now for me we ought to have thanked Lam for his years of duty but let him know it was time for him to retire because in this salary cap climate we couldn't afford to keep a place vacant. Lindsay, however, did not do this!
