Well I don't know much about the bloke but I'll reserve opinion until I see him, and frankly he can't be any worse than anyone else around him at the moment.

However, I do wonder who people expected us to bring in. We've lost virtually all our centres, Hughes at centre has been apalling, Ratchford is wasted there. So what do you want?

The days of Bateman, Jamie Lyon, Davies, Phil Blake, Kevin Iro are gone, the game doesn't produce them anymore and those that do merit comparison are earning a fortune in Aus.

The best centre in the game at the moment is Shenton and he was a total failure at Saints. He looks great now but he's in a team overflowing with confidence. If we'd signed him when he left Saints you'd have all screamed saints reject.

Next year will have to wait, right now we need bodies and I repeat, if he's bad as some say then he's going to look right at home in this team.

Seems like a solid player to me. Let's get behind him and the lads and make a late charge. Now then Wire! Let's go Wire Men!

If they had an Olympics for trolls Charlie you'd win the gold medal in a canter.

Rumoured you're 4 points adrift of the top 8 with only 10 points available to you

Plenty of points there to turn it around then

Charlie isn't a troll. In fact I think a few on here could do with a bit of what Charlie is drinking, the negativity is getting beyond reasonable, people were more upbeat during the blitz.

On a positive note, Huddersfield just won . . .

We're going into the most crucial part of the season and trying to secure a spot in the middle 8's and we're signing a semi retired 33 year old who's spend the last year of his life playing against farmers in the French championship ...

This is like the kind of thing they have on NFL films, the narrator would say the above with dramatic music building and then coming to a crescendo as they'd show a clip of him racing past the Wigan defence, with the commentator going "Pomeroy is away...they won't stop him now....40...30...20...10...touchdown Warrington"

The standard of humour in rugby league is priceless.

There is a Wigan player called Nick Gregson but I think he should change it to Nick Greggson

Balls to it. Fresh body, has none of this year's negativity attached to him. Who knows, maybe fresh meat is the catalyst we need. I'm refusing to accept we're done yet.
