Keep it coming this is comedy gold

It's a shame every Wigan supporter and super league player thinks the complete opposite he only went and won Super League Players' Player of the Year in 2007. But as you say he's a Wigan player so automatic negative view must be expressed.

Dick and Tape Measure!!!!!!

Nearly as funny as your condescending "Ben Currie is a Wigan Academy product

" smart-alec attempt of a post last week.


Do you still think he is?

Just a pity our halves had Trout in their top pockets each time we played the Worriers that season. Shame really. How dare we.

They really did, didn't they? It always makes me laugh when I hear Wigan creating this mythology about Barrett, he was extremely limited compared even to Finch (although his face was far less rodenty).

Hope so

More like some of our fans have short memories about Barrett. He was a class player at Wigan but at the time their team was a bit iffy and still rebuilding after the dire state it had been left by Millward, having Barrett in their team probably pushed them 2 or 3 places higher in the league than they would otherwise have been at the time.

The unusual thing about Wigan in their recent revival under Maguire is they aren't a team of superstars, apart from Tomkins, they are a squad of good players that's well organised and overachieved, which is why they have been vying with us and Leeds for the trophies rather than out ahead cleaning up. I reckon if Barrett or Adrian Lam had been in the Wigan team of the last couple of years they would been out in front on their own.

this is the players player of the year award that the majority of you pie muppets think is fixed cos little sam didn't get it last year?

jog on bent carrott!

Any further news on the Briers to Widnes situation?

Live Wired Oppps

after this prediction i definately don't want u picking my lottery numbers

Complete pile of bovine excreta

and most of all.... thanks for signing your new contract.

Post of the decade this........ no honestly.

Lets see how long it takes Live Wired to appear again on this board.

You Mean It's Not True After All !!!

To be fair to Live Wired he's not the only one to post such stupid (and patently un-true) runours as set-in-stone, gospel truth. However as he is the most negative poster on this board then he deserves plenty of ribbing.

It would be interesting to hear where he heard this rumour and why he was suitabily convinced by it to post it on here with such certainty.

Cooey, still hear. Who said anything about rumour? I can guarantee that Briers will be at Widnes by the end of the season.

As for contracts, they are not worth the paper they are written on. Makes much more business sense to sell a contracted player than a non-contracted player.

Btw, is briers playing tomorrow?

Yes he will be; playing for Warrington in the Round 27 fixture!

To be fair Walter I'd imagine that he'll be rested for that one rather than risked on the i(njury)-pitch.

Let me get this right. A player out of contract, willingly signs a contract so his club can sell him for a transfer fee.

Surely the commercially sound soultion for Briers would have to allowed his contract to run down. Thus leaving, giving him free agent status and the additional bargaining power he would have afforded himself that is eaten into by a transfer fee.

GDMM - I read that you are suggesting there is an element of "make-believe" contained within Live Wired's post? Surely not.

that is true PY; he will be there wearing his Warrington Polo shirt instead

and what forfeit are you willing to sign up to should your 'guarantee' be incorrect?

I am still trying to get over the shock that all of this might not be true.

He will be saying Sally isn't a girl next.
