Quote ="Last Son of Wigan"I think this is both fair and logical, I feel the same. End of the day we're all Wigan fans and we're just hoping for the best for the team, given Sammuts track record we're bound to question the signing and have reservations; be odd not to.
Luckily we also have options, if Sammut doesn't work out, we can revert to the 6,7, 9 which won us the GF.
Now I'm just looking forward to the 31st.'"
I think that's a good point and one that's often overlooked. TL, GW and SP were not only good enough to take us to the title last year but did so without losing a single game in the super 8s...something that hasn't been done before. Given that Sammut brings something different and something most have said was essential to get the most out of George that can only be seen as a positive.
I truly hope he goes on to be a success here at Wigan but if not, as you quite rightly say, we still have the GF winning combination to fall back on. Factor in Escare, Shorrocks and, perhaps most interestingly, Smith and I don't think we're looking too bad for options going into the new season.
