His ego will have a devastating effect on the younger lads coming into the first team squad this season, and he simply isn't good enough (despite his opinion of himself) to justify any portion of the salary cap. Will the club ever learn about return signings ??

Do you know Rocky?

I used to. Actually, I'm distantly related to him, but that's not how I know/knew him.

Well I am amazed if you think he has an ego.

He absolutely does not. He’s a cracking down to earth lad and always has been.

He wasn’t happy with the way he was being used at Wigan mainly because he was never allowed to play his natural game under a very structured Wane coached side.

He is a very hard working down to earth lad who will I’m confident give 100% at Wigan.

I get why some people dont like the signing, but for me when we signed Thornley as a starting centre that was a mistake but Rocky is not being signed as a starter and he really can cover loads of the backline positions. He's never been a bad player - overhyped - yes, but he's decent level of skill

I remember him having an excellent spell on the wing for Cas

The only way this doesnt make sense if is he was coming in on a big wage and/or as a starting player neither of those i believe will be the case so seems like solid business.

“Ryan is recovering from a long-term ACL injury but our experienced medical team have performed stringent medicals to ensure that he is where he needs to be. Plans have been put in place to guide him through the final two months of rehabilitation.”

Are these the same Doctors that deemed George Burgess fit enough to sign?

The answer about the doctors is no.

Well I will be happy to be shown that he has changed, but he used to be an arrogant bugger with a higher opinion of himself as a player than anyone around him. If he's lost that side of his character, then fair enough...

Why? We have Brad O’Neill, Tom Forber & Lewis Pinder!

It’s a wind up Josie.

I’ve known him and coached him for a bit since he was 13 and I’ve never regarded him or known him to be arrogant at all.

I’ve also never heard anyone else describe him as that. He’s always been quite a shy lad from my experience of him.

Only coach I’ve ever known for him to click with was Wane but he never fitted into a side coached the way Wane coached. I think a lot of fans couldn’t understand that and accused him of having an attitude when the reality was neither were a good fit for each other.
