time to hang your keyboard up lad.

Clearly you don't watch enough of Wigan. Wire fans are bigging up Carvell and Paul Wood big time. Havn't seen much to suggest they have been above the rest of the props in the league.



I also said my view changed because I was only looking at his time in Leeds but then opened my eyes to his time in the NRL.



But yes we do now NEED him. So I will take him.

I know. I was clearly being deadly serious!

Yes, I'm pretty sure we've changed our mind on players in the past that have PROVED us wrong, by actually showing us something on the pitch.



You've changed your mind on a player, who's been 5h1te all season, just because you have a prop "crisis"



Mods

Please keep this thread going. It's pure comedy gold.

If we had a classic threads option, this would definately be on it.

Ok, I will come back when he has played 2 games.

Thread of the week this for me....some cracking stuff in it.

You know the first time Cross has a half decent game for wigan..... Odemwingie will be on here telling us he was right and king warrior will be telling us how bouncy he is.

Benjamin C hasn't played in the cup for Leeds hopefully meaning he's eligible for the 23rd, please god i beg play him in that game.

This quite literally nails it.



reading that thread on their board if absolutely fooking hilarious.



the manner in which most wigan posters have changed their opinion on cross simply because they have now signed him is a perfect example of their one eyed deluded bias.



it's such a shame none of them will see it as such...

Odem mate.



I think the best thing you can now do is screw the top back on your flask, clip your Tommy Tank Engine butty box shut and find a way to climb out of this hole you've dug and potter yourself back to the Wigan forum where they have a better understanding of people like yourself.



Maybe in a months time, hopefully never, people will forget what you're like and you can comeback and while away the time with your in depth knowledge of all things RL for us mere mortals over here to peruse and debate.

That's a big amount of time you're going to base his Wigan career on...



maybe he'll find himself in Wigan's reserves within that time, too

you have completely missed the point, he means you are being one eyed NOW that he has signed for you.



THIS IS JUST BRILLIANT



please keep digging it's ace, you may even dig deep enough to get cross home cheap...

You are easily the best worst poster there has ever, ever been.



It's mad as well that you're proper defending yourself, you're gutted that Keithcun has made an utter mug of you. I can just imagine you leant on your hand, pushing your Alphabites around your plate in a bit and your Mum saying "What's up love, problems on the board ..."



Proper dev'od.

Let me ask you a question

The Wigan team that is top of the league and has played two props light all season (Fielden & O'Carroll) and now has Prescott with a hamstring injury, do you think it is good business to bring in an experienced prop at this stage of the season as cover?



If not why not.

come off it..... we all know he has been signed to play in the under 20's grand final, should you get there.

Thing is, had he signed for us or any other SL side today you'd be all over their board saying "why have you signed him? He's done nothing!". But suddenly, as if by magic when he signs for W*gan he's a good player again!



Who'd have thought it eh?

he could bring the kicking tee on....



....hang on, looking at his previous games, he'd probably drop it, and then kick it away in disgust...loser

He'll have a blinder as well.



Him & Roberts, the two quota fellas just tearing it up. Go champs.

By the looks of things you don't need cover, showed by this post:









Take Cross out and there is 8 props there. 3 out injured you still have the choice of 5 with some players who play SR who could probably adapt to playing prop as cover if need be.

They're Wigan they'll sign as many sh*t props as they want.

haha they're all at it.



this is PRICELESS

You are including Crosby and Davies who are decent players but are not yet at Superleague level. In fact I think Davies may leave, he hasn't progressed as well as we thought he would.



Coley is playing on knees that are as bad as mine (and I'm 62) so the Cross signing was a sensible move as I said all along. Just give him a chance before throwing the daggers.



One thing, Maguire won't pick him because of his past reputation, that isn't the way he works. Cross will have to earn his place, even if he is only filling in to give players a rest.



The games we have struggled this season have been where we have had three props, so the Cross signing does make sense.



It's great that the Wire obsession with Wigan is still alive and well.

translated at 'i am totally losing this pathetic attempt to justify our complete u turn on cross, and am clearly a one eyed moron'

I mean, this whole a coach signing a player that they know from previous to plug a gap that was problematic at a club due to injuries etc, this is nothing like the Mathers signing that we were pilloried for is it, just so that we're clear.



May I be the first, 'Bloody 'ell Cross !'

They were included by a Wigan fan on your board, so some people obviously think they are ready. I'd have thought that you would welcome players being brought into the starting line up through the academy rather than signing an over the hill Aussie prop.
