Wigan are tracking Sydney Roosters full-back Anthony Minichiello who is OOC at the end of this season.

They're probably in shock that they've signed Eddy Pettybourne.

He said he's staying at Sydney but is expecting to switch to the wing.

Surely if Wigan where after a New Fb Shannon Mc would be top of there wish list

Are we turning into a feeder club for the champions elect?

Your problem then is that once all the quality players have gone elsewhere you're in the mire.

Terrible signing,

He is straight up and down, has no skill at all.

We lost a number of players last year, brought in repalcements and are better this year.



Wigan lost Leuluia, finch, Lima etc last year were they a selling club? They're losing Richards, prob Tomkins (their talisman) and no doubt others. Have you been on their site waxing lyrical about their impending doom?

I'm not waxing lyrical as you put it. It was an honest question but like so many on these forums you're straight on the defensive, so I'll leave you to it.

Same problem as every club faces. You lose players, you bring in replacements. Hey ho. We've heard it all before 12 months ago. Out went Green, Taylor, Watts, Mcdropit & Galea.



Fast forward a couple of months and the replacements assemble, to howls of derision from your lot, shopping at Aldi etc. The result being 10th last year, somewhere 6th-8th this year based on current form/remaining fixtures.

Sorry if it sounded defensive, it wasn't intended to. What I was trying to do was instill a bit of perspective.

Wigan have over the last couple of years lost a lot of their top players, key individuals who would seem like a huge loss. No one seems to think they are a selling club yet it would seem the whole of SL in reality are.

You never asked a question though. You made a HKR doomsday statement and offered nothing to back it up. Some posters offer a differing opinion (or perspective as BR says) to yours, and then you get all upset and claim 'we' get [i'defensive'[/i.
