Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks as though Gil Dudson is on his way to Widnes on a 2 year deal. I don't think he will be missed at Wigan. Could be a very good player but doesn't seem to put the effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuffer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 well we do need some props.....not sure how I'd feel about this if it were true though....never really stood out for me when I've seen him play for Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 A few props have left Wigan in the off-season (although, tbf, they've brought a few in). Any danger that they lack punch until Flower comes back? I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Exiled Wiganer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It's Wane's new strategy. We're going for a 1 prop rotation. Actually, I think we're prop positive, with Patrick, Mossop, Greenwood and Tautai in for Taylor (huge loss), Dudson and Eddie P (less than huge losses). We're saving up all our money to try and keep Budgie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolford6 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Could be really good player if he didn't keep looking to commit stupid fouls. From what I've seen, he's been a penalty machine for the past few seasons. He got married last Autumn; that sometimes focusses sportsmens' sense of responsibility. I hope so, because Wales needs him to be a leader on the field. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuffer Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Can't deny the fact - who knows why?.... Players have often swapped between the two clubs as far as I can remember going back to the days of O'Loughlin (snr), Lydon and Offiah..... While we're relatively local, other than the championship/cup battles/rivalry the 2 clubs had in the late 80's we've never been "fierce" local rivals in the same way that Saints/Wigan or Us/Wire have in the past so perhaps there's less feeling of "traitor-ship" (if that''s even a word?) for a player to swap..........of course, these days it;s been more one-way traffic while since we've been in a bad place and been rebuilding.

Futtocks Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Quite a few went to Huddersfield a few years ago, Wild, Aspinwall, Robinson, Brown, all in quite a short timeframe. Did them a power of good, too. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
