blue forever

We needs to move on. He's not our player. Awful career move for him, but at least his agent will be pleased.

I'm not sure it is either, but that's Wigan's call

There was always a recall option after the 1st month in the deal. Wigan made it clear in their press release, Barrow never mentioned it.....

It's a constant over last few years. We mouth off more than anyone else in league, numerous players at it.

Or house them adequately.....

Yep. I watched it unfold as it actually started as pushing between Ryan Johnston and Jamie Ellis

The Oldham player was already off the pitch with the physio when the ref brandished the red car in his direction. He definitely wasn't blindsided as Sean long suggested but was probably not prepared for the barrage that broadbent threw at him when it was all really just a bit of push and shove to start with. Not sure the Oldham lad deserved a red really, as for broadbent a 4 or 5 game ban probably awaits

Deffo one from each side. The Oldham lad sent off had plenty of blood coming from his head, definitely came off 2nd best

Good signing, more to come???

Think he's getting mixed up with Costello as it was him that made the intercept and was caught before the half way line.

Yep agreed, although I was extremely surprised when they called all 3 back last year even tho rothwell and eckersley were no where near the 1st team, left us on the bear bones, risk you take with loanees I guess

Hopefully he stays the season, although he can be recalled after a month according to Wigan's press release and as we seen last season they recalled all 3 loanees for no obvious reason near end of season

Thought Clarke did ok tbh, remember he's hardly played any first team games in this country(mainly in France and academy/reserve level). I seen enough to suggest that with continued hard work he can play a role within the squad

And on the wage of 3 players combined

Not looking good is it?

Completely changed his style of play from when he first came, and ended up a lesser player for it

Flair players at 9 don't seem to be cresta's thing(Parata/Puara). Seems to prefer the robotic stick to plan type

Hopefully

It's next week I think

Was apparently on Craig lingards list of championship players that could step up to super League, when lingard joined cas as assistant last season

It's a brutal sport, and some of the players simply aren't fit enough. We'll suffer an injury crisis no doubt again but this year will only have 4 extra bodies to call on before throwing in 17 year olds. Sounds like preparing for league 1 to me. How have we come to this in the space of 18 months?

Dewsbury and Doncaster will be v competitive too. Gotta say at the moment it's concerning. We stayed up by skin of our teeth last year, without serious squad improvement we might not get so lucky next time

Very

Here's hoping. I fear we're going to be right in the dogfight again, and don't think we'll be so luck next time

Sounds like sammut
