| Quote Captain Hook="Captain Hook"I’m very intrigued as to why HKR were willing to loan him out.'"
He turned up to pre season in a right state and he's got the gammiest hamstring in the game. Excellent player on his day but he's managed about 10 games per season since 2019, an expensive luxury, if there was no salary cap itd be worth the risk.. I'm surprised to see him linked with Wire. |

I dont think Williams has ever given us value for money.
I'm not even slightly bothered by him leaving. He goes down as just another bad decision in the failed 'galactico' recruitment strategy of our club.
Hopefully we will start to move away from that desperate model now.
That's an interesting observation. Hopefully our galactico strategy is over now and we will stick with the model of signing hungry 'project' players who won't break the bank like Roderick Tai, Dan Russell and Oli Leyland. That's an approach that gets a far warmer reception among Wire fans. |

The player currently keeping Charnley out of the Leigh 1st team is Keanan Brand.
A young player that we recruited from Widnes, but was released to Leigh on a freebie by Wire, without being given a proper chance.
Leigh are off loading Charnley now and if we sign him, it illustrates the incompetence of the Wire succession plan for our team.
And he has scored hat trick tonight We need Mystic Meg on the staff. Just at looking back at who we had around at the time ... you just can't keep 'em all. Lineham, Charnley, Ashton, Wrench & the excitable Mamo. Then they get lent out and rarely come back. Took his tries well though v Leeds. That would make sense... if he had come through as our youth player. But we signed Brand from Widnes, gave him three games and sacked him off. I'm seen as a happy clapper on here, but one thing I am ashamed of is how many players we let go and then see them go on to better things at other clubs. Remember our coaching staff see these guys in training day after day - the judgment of potential needs to be far better. |

Usually if the team as a whole does not perform I believe the youngsters are the ones used as scapegoats by the coaching team, could be wrong but that’s my belief. Like you say they often move on to other clubs and do well. We just need to give them more chances. |

Yep .. of course we need to give em more chances ... but it never seems the right time to bring them in. It is not easy to decide who to keep. Wigan (who produce so many players) have those that they have not kept spread all around SuperLeague e.g. HKR/Leigh etc. So it's not just Wire. So if they suddenly lost Marshall would they say why did we let Burgess, Davies & Hanley and a few more go. |

That's an approach that gets a far warmer reception among Wire fans. I guess the author was hoping for those players that fit between those polar opposites. But the level of debate on here means we have to have this facile "false dilemma" between galactico and basement, bargain bucket players like you have mentioned. Plenty of other clubs make sound signings without breaking the bank. One of them is currently top of the league. |
