Back to Widnes or Salford.

Time for us to say you going your not coming back. We have been burnt too many times now.

Agreed the “safety net” Lenegan has created isn’t good enough really for a club of Wigan’s stature,leaving our club is a move down in my eyes and a move that should be carefully consindered not be safe in the knowledge you can bowl back up after it all goes wrong and claim homesickness

How many more are going to leave are they leaving a sinking ship

Hang on,though, what exactly was this policy we are all slagging off?

As I understand it, Wigan were never (with any player) guaranteeing a contract to a returning player, merely that if they wanted to sign for a SL club on returning from the NRL, Wigan would, in effect, be offered first refusal. Talk of it being a "safety net" for players implies that Wigan were obliged to offer a contract. Surely this wasn't the case?

The suggestion from some posters appears to be that these kind of deals should be abandoned in favour of an implicit threat/punishment:"If you leave Wigan, don't think you'll ever darken our doors again". But isn't that cutting off your nose to spite your face? Seems to me that the option (though not the obligation) to take back Sutton, for example, in a year or two would hardly be a bad thing.

And I look at the size of Canberra's massive pack, and wonder why the hell they want Sutton anyway.

FWIW I think he will make it down under. Big, young and with lots of improvement in him yet he will be missed. Sadly, as a sport we are incapable of preventing this from happening. If we go with what we have currently, i.e. Navarette or Hamlin, we are much weaker next season. Depressing.

A second in the league and still in the Cup sinking ship.


But have it your way if you like.

I'm with you JJ, I think that he has got what it takes.

I think the club has learned from its errors. Sutty should have been given a longer contract ala Davies and Marshall.
