It isn't the same tho.

My hypothetical career at Microsoft isn't going to cement my place in history books of tech. I'm not going to create a legacy in a regular job. That's the opportunity for these guys.

Winning the GF at Warrington would make him instantly a Wire legend. We'd probably build him a *** statue!

Winning (another) one or two at Wigan makes him just one of your long list of great players.

If he wants a shot at rugby league immortality, he's got a better chance at Warrington. Meanwhile, he'll be getting paid more than he otherwise would have done.

Also...

Where has this notion somehow come about that Wire is some kind of superior club? If we've regressed since GW left then wtf has happened to Wire? We almost won a GF last year and we've lost one game in the league this year.

If he was going to Saints, I'd understand the argument but he's going to Warrington FFS.

Again, have you read this board last 6 to 18 months?

I have, but have you read yours?

In the 1.5 years GW has been away, who's regressed more?

He's well better than Williams.

If it looked most likely that GW had signed for Wigan, then I'm sure some on our board would claim that Jon Richardson was a better player.

We're just as bad as ever, which is down to having a crap coach who should have been sacked in 2019.

However on here we've got constant complaints re the following

Poor coaching from lam, and performances getting worse (despite getting to a gd and being unbeaten for most of this year)
Poor recruitment, running with a bunch of academy props and other forwards
Poor recruitment in the backs, having to play backrowers at centre, centres at wing (a centre that ppl didn't want recruiting) and then the talk of bringing back players.youve let go deemed to not being good enough.
Not being able to fit both hardaker and French in the side and hampering both (pre injury)
Complaints about key players not making it back from Australia till a couple of weeks before the season starting.
Complaints about retention of constantly injured players
Complaints about lenaghan not spending any money and radlinski's ability yo run a club.

These aren't my opinions, just what I've seen discussed on here. There's zero point being defensive to me, I'm not having a pop.

If your looking on here (or facebook/twitter) and basing your opinions of wigan as a club/team on them then I reckon you need to have a long hard look at yourself.
