Oooops. Times don't change eh. Same Wigan fans displaying total lack of knowledge just two years ago.

Great thread, lads.

He's done really well King, particularly this season. In fact, he's nearly got as many tries as Jamie Foster.

Sideshow Bob would have fitted right in at Wigan. That hair style is an improvement of their traditional mullet!

Maybe needs a couple of neck tatoos to complete the look though.....

In ten less games. Fail.


King 12 in 9
Foster 13 in 19


Typical bertie.

King was gash for 18 months.. I fail to see where the problem lies.

He got singled out for abuse from his own fans at Quins away not too long ago. Is bumping this post intended to be some kind of juvenile 'told ya so' effort? Wanky fans

Wouldn't swap him for Carmont, not a chance, George Carmont has been absoulutely fantastic fromthe minute he came to us, Matt King was terrible for 18 months.

The same as Matt King did at Old Trafford, oh hang on a minute.................

You also said you wouldn't swap Inglis for Gleeson. Comedy genius. Two best centres in SL Wigan had, I think your line was. Liverpool fan with a United flag in his avatar. Love it pal.

At the time yes, I wouldn't have swapped them, they part a huge part in our grand final success and were both superb, so why would I swap a grand final winning partnership, ask MOS Pat Richards who is the best centre in SL, 80% of his tries are down to Carmont. He is aslo very much a father figure at Wigan, a lot of the young players like Marsh, Charnley look up to him.

Still, any RL fan with a brain would swap any of them for Greg Inglis. Coming out with daft statements doesn't make you more of a fan mate. Like saying "I know we did really well with Sheasy at left back an won the league. but I wish we didn't sign Paddy Evra".

That particular flag I only made a minor contribution to



My flags are strictly all red with white lettering

What are the three stars an indication of? WCC? I'd bet you'd be giddy as if you could put five on there.

Carmonts does a hell of a lot for the club though, like I said, young players learn from him and he's a father figure, im not doubting Inglis maybe technically better, but who's to say he would come over here with the right attitude and contribute more than Carmont? Carmont has been up there with the best iv personally seen at Wigan.

They mean most league titles, most WCC's and most challenge cups FWIW.

However on a another note I cant see me adding another star to my liver bird tattoo with 5 stars above it any time soon, not with a 15 million bid for Stewart Downing on the cards

I fully understand why you're fond of him, but anytime you can improve a part of your team so greatly it would have to be done. I'd swap any of our centres for Inglis(apart from Blythe).

I agree, my point though is that any signing is a risk, no matter how good they are, and with Carmont, he has proved over the last few years that he is reliable solid, classy and rarely makes mistakes, with a new signing these things arent guarenteed so id be hesistant to take the risk, il take Inglis though and stick him on the other side

Be telling me you wouldn't swap McIlorum for Cam Smith next.

I wouldnt swap Carroll for Rooney either





Yes, id definately swap those 2, im not a massive McIlorum fan if im honest, his distribution is poor at times and he lacks intelligence, I would not post this in the Wigan board though, id be hung by my testicles.

How long before L.Tomkins breaks through? Seen a bit of him at Widnes, looks lively.

Could be next season, all depends on signings really, the debate still goes on about whether Leuluai will go to 9 and we may sign a half back. Id personally prefer Leuluai at 7 and McIlorum alternating with someone (L.Tomkins or a signing) next season.

Joe Mellor at 6?

That was what I was hoping, or a least a few run outs next season as we still have Finch, but from what I hear off regular U20's goers since he's injury he's lost a yard of pace and his kicking game has been very poor.
