I wonder what impact this will have on Vaughan - aren't they supposed to be good friends?

Yeah I know, professionalism, get on with your job etc etc but life isn't like that.

The club already did a wives thing to get them all talking.
Might not be so big an issue.

Sounds just the ticket to get out of a contract.

At the risk of coming over all Les Dawson, do they need any encouragement?

He was well past it the last time he was here.

What’s up with people like you?
Let’s get young talent in, not auld crocked over the hill has beens.

Our squad is too old… especially in the forwards!

errr
=#FF0000Im gonna pre-empt where this week is going.

Right folks, i can see that there's going to be a revival of HAPPY CLAPPERS vs THE NAY SAYERS, those that share the same disbelief in knowledge and common sense in each other, but both ends of the spectrum, it can be discussed,[u but there will be no name calling, no dismissive insulting statements.[/u

Converse and debate politely, we're not having a return to last year.

This will be posted across the threads where needed.

Anyone that can't follow the above underlined instruction will take a 2 week holiday.

play nicely.

thanks

Up before the beak tomorrow.

Facing a very lengthy ban.

Get shut Warrington!

Sorry Pal.
I posted that as you were posting your polite warning.

I didn’t mean any offence, I just don’t know why some people are obsessed with signing old has beens.

I'm sure good old Rubber was having a bit of fun with this one ... a joke!!!!

Isn't calling me a nay sayer name calling in itself? Physician heal thyself etc.

No matter, I've been called worse and generally deserved it.

Former Australian International & State of Origin representative Mark 'Spudd' Carroll's comments about McGuire in 2019 appear to speak volumes. They're in the public domain (so no issue on that front) along with a list of indiscretions during his NRL career.

Nope. I’m serious.
We need a backrower loose forward, and it seems pretty darn quick.
Jace is fit, and may still be in France, readying to become a South ambassador or sort for next season.
Let’s get him straight in the side now, he’d be twice the player a leaving player could be showing presently, and he’ll be impossible to send off for decent.
He can do a job for 6 months.

His family loved it here, his girls will step back straight into school. No leaving loved ones and home sicks.

That’s all well and good but you’re missing out the fact that…..he’s absolutely rubbish.

You telling me he’s worse than McGuire?

If there is any truth in any of the Maguire rumours then this is just another example of a long line of events that has more drama over the last 8 or so years than Emmerdale.
Wigan have had their fair share of Drama over recent years but it is how you deal with it. From memory didn't the season when the Tomkins brothers had their night out end up with wigan beating us in the GF. Then there was the Bateman incident.

Whatever the outcome this group of players needs to put their big boy pants on. It would be unacceptable if it spiralled out of control like last year.

If that's a genuine question then it's time for your medication RD!

On bbc sport website rumoured to facing another lengthy ban for unacceptable language.
If so club should sack him with immeduate effect.

If mcguire's contract is terminated, we should offer some of that money to Clark to make him renege on his saints deal. People saying Danny walker is now our number 1 hooker need their heads testing. Losing Clark is going to be a bigger blow than anybody seems to realise.

It’s not the money for Clark.
He’s walking away from marquee money and a testimonial to take up a 2 year deal at Saints on less money but with a guarantee he will be first choice 9.

If McGuire Goes with no immediate replacement then it weakens the squad even further. That'd be 2 forwards gone and Matty Nicholson out for about another 6-7 weeks.
I genuinely can't see McGuire being this stupid to do the same thing again, unless he wants out, but again i can't see him trying to leave in this way.
Clark is leaving because Saints is the best option to win things. This is his 9th year with us and has 1 challenge cup win, i don't blame him what so ever for wanting to move on, throwing x amount of money at him now isn't going to change anything at all.
As for our performances, the main thing is we aren't consistant at playing for the full 80. To play like we did the first half then end up folding the way we did is bizzarre. We need an aggressive Tank of a prop adding, and a strike centre immediately. Not having Kasiano for this game was a big loss, Lucas Green must be getting fed up with is 8 minute stints, i's personally be demoralised by Powells lack of confidence with him.

The last thing we need is another tank of a prop... It would be nice but seriously not essential.. we desperately need the right side of that team straightening out with a second rower and a centre ( at least second rower) as it's a turnstile in defence and offers no go forward ...if McGuire is punted and already without Nicholson the options available are already gone there

Defence is a persistent problem with the Wire.Too many teams march us down field to our own line then we are left with too much to do on our tackle sets.

Said that on Sunday, Hull just absolutely munched up the yardage and we were stuck in our half all the time relying on penalties and hail mary plays that never really work.

I've heard from Oz that Dufty is homesick (fed up) and wants to go home. Worrying.
