Perhaps Paul Anderson isn't going to overload his teams with pivot players.



Brough, Brown, Robinson, Grix, Moore, Lunt et al



He may go with a more robust loose forward and rely on 6, 7 and 9 to take tham around the park.

Blame Thewlis. Didn't want to go. But a significant transfer fee pushed the deal through. Heard this a few days ago. Coaches up in arms apparently

We'd be mad to offer £800,000.

What job satisfaction is Kev going to get at Widnes?

There's no way Wigan will pay anything near £800,000. They wouldn't pay half of that, we only got £250,000 for Joel Tomkins who's alot younger and was a natural successor to O'Loughlin as Wigan Captain. I'd imagine asking for similar ie. £250,000 you'd be pushing it.

This is awful news. Once again one if best players and captain lost to another team. If anything will unsettle the team it is this. Kev is a great player and our leader, senior man sold, best be some positive news on the horizon regarding new signings because Lunt and then brown in exchange for a bit of cash does nothing at all for me!

So he signs a contract extension to 2015 just under 2 years ago - what is the point of a contract again???

Oh dear.





The idea that a player is foceably transfered against his will is garbage.





Where have you been for the last 50 years

None. but an extra 200K will sugar the pill.

Great player? No. Good against lower table sides. Ineffective against top sides last year and this. And certainly not a leader.



He is a good player who wants the Widnes dollar. if that is where his head is, so be it.

Ashame as a good player and money talks.

A contract means you get a transfer fee compared to nothing at all.
