Wigan Warriors • Rumours and signings v9
We stand on the cusp of maybe a small era of success having won a challenge cup, league leaders and Grand final in the last two seasons with a job for the boys culture firmly in place. We seem to be attractive to players who want to renew contracts and new talent who want to get on board. While some new blood can be good the job for the boys is to a degree is a non starter when it comes to something bad. Tommy for example played under five coaches at Wigan alone, he had NRL experience won a world cup from a pivot position and played in many international set ups. Briers was great and if we get another opportunity of his like I'm sure we will take it. I think he was pretty happy in our job for the boys set up while he was mainly a one team player and also with limited success. Peet's earned his position and I think you would struggle to say it's been anything but the right one? Lockers often refared to by better judges than me who have played with and against, and coached with and against him as one of the best how could you let that asset slip the net without trying it? Joel may have crossed a line but he's served a punishment for it again he's been away from the club in RU at club international level, he's also been in other SL clubs systems so it's hardly like he's no different experience of what works and what doesn't. Pretty easy to throw that tag around when things look poor but when almost every other club would swap us places going into this season it looks daft.
