| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"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.
[uIt's great that the Wire obsession with Wigan is still alive and well. [/ua014.gif'"
Fantastic, considering a third of the posts on this thread are from Worrier "fans", including several from 1 boy
Obsessed?....yes, you lot are....you lot stay on here longer than the mother-in-law at Christmas  |

When? I've only seen him getting flopped by Ben and staggering off the pitch. |

| Quote oli30045="oli30045"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.'"
I'll guarantee that the majority haven't seen Crosby and Davies as much as I have. Cross has been signed as back up.
Maybe Fielden won't play again this season, I honestly don't know. And I don't know how bad Prescotts hamstring is.
The Cross signing was an easy decision particularly as he had already worked with Maguire at Melbourne.
AS I said Maguire WONT just pick Cross on his past reputation, he'll have to prove himself, I can't see a downside, can you? |

| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"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.'"
Would of love to see your reaction if we had signed a 32yo Aussie booted out by a poor Leeds team instead of giving our own youth a chance.
One wonders.. |

Playing the likes of Crosby and Davies would be a massive risk at the business end of the season. A very experienced prop was available, we signed him till the end of the season. I still don't get all the uproar?  |

You must of missed the many posts by Rogue on signing old players and players that are not from the youth set up.
Suprised you need Cross as cover given the how much was made of your team compared to everyone else's after the Hoff and Lima signed |

I think he'll do okay Wire 85. Different team worked with Maguire before. The reason I think it's funny is down to Odemwingie making himself look a massive tool.

I must have missed them, but thats an opinion like yours and mine.
If all our props were fit, I dont think Cross would have been signed, Also Lima and Hoffman have been great for Wigan. |

| Quote Fantastic Mr Cat="Fantastic Mr Cat"thing is about Benjamin W, and all the other hits we're doing at the moment, no other pack is standing up to us, that hit that he did on Keith M last week, not only did he put him on his booty westwood was up on the ball and as Keith was up and walking back he got an arm in the throat, from Benjamin who was prepared for retribution of some kind, what did keith do, mouthed off slightly and went and got back in teh defensive line.
Likewise versus Saints RL the other week, our captain Adrian did that high tackle on Louis M-S, and what did the Saints RL players do? love all.
you'd expect Joel T to do so, but he's not hiding and trying to bully three quarters now.'"

Tbh i dont think everyone thinks that way most think it's a no lose situation and if we are putting players in at 70-80% every week it's not that bad to let them get a rest to recover by putting him in
He's playing in the 20's this week which says quite a bit about how madge see the signing even though we are playing wakey and i dont think he will play next week but that depends on what happens this weekend i suppose
I said on our board i'm leaving no comments on it untill i see him play for a few weeks |

It's not a bad signing really... wigan need a prop and they have the space... when everyone is fit he may not feature... but he will still come in handy.
the joke is the complete reversal of opinion by many.
