OFFICIAL Oliver Gildart

[Demps]

hopefully Hastings can be used as a lock not a 6 or 7
Gildart is no world beater but probably better than what we have at present

Gildart is better than what we have...

Heart breaking.

Disturbingly, I don't know that he is.

Hopefully Sheensy can give him some 1 on 1 coaching to get his game to NRL standard.

Someone watched them for 10 minutes and has written them off. Better go and tell Hartigan he's a fool.

He’s signing ESL players, while the Dogs are signing JAC, Burton, Dufty and TPJ. Fool seems like an appropriate word.

Burton is a great get for the dogs, Burton and Brooks would have looked good for us oh well

Maybe .....we need a good organizing half still .....lets Brooks concentrate on his running game 1st and foremost

maybe we dont as some have said we have 4 internationals in out backline
in case anyone forgot ...

Well, we do. Don’t ask questions if you don’t like the answers.

tier one internationals then
we have one Maumalo
most people would recognise England NZ Australia and maybe Tonga
not you too be smart you include tier 2 nations

The 4 i named are established NRL first graders. 3 have played over 100 games, and the other is a future club captain. That alone puts them ahead of the Pom.

I didn't ask about number first grade games I asked about internationals in our backline and you gave me 1 Kiwi who has played 1 game for us and 3 tier 2 internationals

Gildart will be ok I think it's his third game back from injury or something

They're better than the American internationals.

I watched about 10 minutes of the Huddersfield v Wigan game ..and his tackle attempt on McQueen when McQueen scores was pathetic ......

Don't worry Hastings doesn't miss out .....three forwards are trying to put the ballcarrier down in a tackle in the lead up ...Hastings is standing tell everyone to go right and left when he should have been tying up the ballcarriers hands .....get the pass away to half who then hits McQueen .....

We got some Pommie Duds everyone .....yayyyyy.....

But but Hastings is going to save us from Brooks....right?

Hastings = Cronk ,Sterling ,Langer and Mortimer in some eyes ...yet is playing as the leader in a Wigan side looking at having it worst season since the late 70's / early 80's

And Gildart is in the same side

I hope they are both tanking big time ......

They both took Wigan to the grand final last year, and Hastings took lowly Salford to the grand final the year before that. Wigan this year have been butchered by injuries, and players are out of position (including Hastings).

You have nailed it. Leave him in charge of the $ and this is what happens.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say he isn’t better than anyone we have.

Hastings is a massive upgrade on Mbye.

You can’t say that till you see him play NRL.

'How come we don't look at English talent like Ricky Stuart does?'

Nek minnit

'Why are we looking at England?'

If they were high class NRL players ( as is being suggested by many on the Forum ) they would be carrying this side ...they aren't ...they will be lower tier NRL players ...exactly what we have already ....I did note in earlier posts that Wigan had injury issues ...Lam admitted himself the reason he didn't release Hastings this season was for that exact reason ...saw it in a post game interview .....from memory their forward pack was pretty injury free ......at that time

English internationals are *definitely* on the same level as NZ. For the last 15 years there have been some epic international matches between England and NZ, often won in the last few minutes. They are basically evenly matched.

Forget about tiers and internationals. Using your argument, you could defend Mbye by calling him an Origin player, but no one is foolish enough to do that. The pool that England have to pick from is inferior to Australia or NZ. What’s more relevant is how much first grade the others have played, cos that’s what Oliver is coming here to do. And right now, he’s nearly 225 games behind BJ and about 155 behind Noffa. To claim a guy whose never played NRL is better than 2 players with that much experience is not an educated opinion,
