If Gaskell is that good ,why did Wigan not go after him ,Hoping it is not true but if it is, it's a backwood step for Wakefield .OK we got a quota spot .but we would have to find a 6.


What's that got to do with it? If Miller were going as my conspiracy theory goes then we had to replace him with someone, hence Gaskell. Doesn't matter who we think is best, we needed a replacement, and Gaskell seems reasonable to me. I prefer Miller but IF he doesn't prefer us then we move on.

We wouldn't have to find another no6 that's the point :WALL: :WALL: :WALL: we already have one, it's not difficult.

We all know Miller has his flaws, although a lot of his missed tackles are due to the fact that he attempts so many. He's been a great player for us but those stats are a perfect example of why he isn't IMHO a suitable signing for Wigan. I may be wrong but if he did go there I feel he'd struggle in front of an unforgiving crowd.

The obvious question is if he is that bad why would Wigan want to sign him. I guess they have a better impression of his rugby skills than some forum members.

He's a great player imo, however IMO your argument is flawed. Seriously, are you suggesting every signing Wigan makes is a success? Well, it isn't. In the case of Miller, I'm not sure he has the mental strength for a big club.

I'll now turn it back on you, if Miller was that good why didn't Wigan sign him from Hull or the previous times his contract was up for us? Works both ways.

Anyway, I don't think he's going anywhere but what do I know.

DONT TOUCH THE WATCH

Re: Another season over with : Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:27 am  
Im probably wrong but I think Wigan had a first refusal on Williams when he left Canberra, so they would of been very confident of getting him back, but he obviously chose Wire, and ow Wigan will probably be thinking ‘who can we realistically get now’. Wigan signed Sammut a few years ago, could he lace Millers laces? I don’t think so personally. Interesting times ahead.

Wigan have an history of signings players from other clubs once they have proven their ability even if this is not immediate. We just need to look at N Wight, H Paul and Hastings the latter two Wigan could have signed before us and Salford, however they did not want to take the risk until they prove themselves.

I'd agree with most of that most notably the ' has been'. I feel over the last 2/3 seasons he has at best stagnated and probably gone backwards. What I dislike is his untouchable status which his performances have not justified.
