During his first super league stint I really liked sammut - I’m not particularly disappointed with the signing in itself but again it’s not what we need - he is n off the cuff player and opportunist we need a string puller

I just hope they aren’t going to try to shoe horn him into that role otherwise it will be Dennis Moran mk2

Give him the benefit of the doubt for 8 to 10 games

Massively underrated signing. Leeds, Warrington and Saints have signed much bigger named players which should get bums on seats.
Can’t see the Wigan fans who haven’t bought a season ticket for a couple of years running to the ticket office to buy one for next season on the back of that announcement.

Wigan need a star signing to up our attendances.

Really uninspiring signing, not impressed at all. As soon as I saw that he'd left London I just knew it would be him we'd get. Our rivals are signing the likes of Blake Austin and we respond with a 31 year old championship-level player.

I hope he proves me wrong and has a big season but I hope Wigan have other players in mind for when Edwards joins next season.

On a related note, why has no one signed Drinkwater? Is he demanding ludicrous money or something?

I mentioned this last night to Lammy, but true to form he would not commit.

I am not too worried about this signing, he will help George & our other young halves along with Tommy. We really do need experience in our team.

I am just concerned about the Reserves & dual registration!

Lets give him chance, he'll have a legacy number after all.
I expect next year to be a transitional year anyway and we have signed write offs before and they've been top drawer!

For me it’s not the quality of the signing it’s the player he is

I personally think he’s got a lot of talent and could do well at a big club but if you want the best of him you’ve got to let him be a maverick

We have a maverick in Williams - we don’t need another we need a player to pull the strings Morris now than ever as sams gone and Sean “calf injury” will sit out at least half the year

Powell is a grafter but had no leadership - Tommy is better @ 9

Like I say for me the fact he is from the championship etc any the disappointment it’s the fact yet again Wigan haven’t addressed the needs of the squad

He’s a goal kicker though at least
