Quote ="Cruncher"I suspect that some of your lot will take their time forgiving him for winning trophies with Wigan. BUt you need to tell them to man up and swallow thier pride.
Matty's a solid performer, not some overpaid cavalier who won't bother chasing the enemy when they've broken the line.
What he lacks in flamboyance he makes up for in grit. He always gave Wigan 100%. For his home town club it could be 110%.'"
That won't happen as people, from all Clubs, are so parochial it means they often can't see reality. How long did it take Wigan fans to swallow their pride over Sean Long?
However FWIW I agree with you - I am not over the moon with it but neither am I despondent. I have seen far worse 7's in my time.
