To be fair to Rouges, Wigan are taking something of a pounding on their board, he's just trying to find anything, like the ramblings of an unknown poster to hang on to.


Maybe a bit more rope for Rouges is needed.

Sorry just want to clarify I meant 300k over the time of the contract,not per season!!!

Re: Willie Manu : Thu May 03, 2012 6:16 pm  

Well that is a bit more reasonable. 300K per year would make Tomkins green

100k per season for one of the best backrowers in the league is a pretty good deal tbh

It is mate youre right!! Hulls wage structure thanks to the previous board is a right mess, far to many average players earning stutpid money, thats what were trying to sort out for next season, have a team of quality players all on around the same money with young squad members as back up. And before you say ellis he isnt on as much as you think !!!

Same brain dead liability that would walk into any 2nd row in the league though. You stick to your aging overseas pack, 3 year deal for Manu absolutley awful business even though you'll tell us its a top deal when he'll be nearly 33 by the times hes played a game for you. Mugs

Re: Willie Manu : Thu May 03, 2012 8:32 pm  

So by this time next year Saints will have Manu aged 33, Laffranchi aged 32,
Puletua aged 33 and Perry aged 32 as the cornerstones of their pack

Great long term planning?

Are you trying to out do Warrington?

And we will also have sia, clough, Magennis, wilkin, roby, LMS, Forster, greenwood, flanaghan who aint that old.

What is it with Wigan and youth/homegrown? It's like a obsession of all Wigan fans to bang in and on about it.

I'm all for youth but I'm also all for trying to win things. If that means bringing in the likes of Manu then I'm happy. We are init to try and win it.


Let's be honest, up until few years back Wigan was the worst club in the world for binning youth players in favour over older overseas players.
