On LMS. I was told by David Hughes that the club were prepared to match any offer from any other club to retain his services.
Louis chose to go to Saints to win trophies and has done such.
Tony Clubb decided he was bigger than the club.

LMS and what’s the problem with that? And not a chance could LB match the saints offer.
Clubb same thing different way of wording it, he valued himself higher than the club rated him, so went to a club that rated him higher and paid him as much.
Many years ago a club legend wanted an extra 2k, club said no so he went. Think it’s called living within yr means

I’d disagree about Clubb, he was captain and went to the press stating he was sick of losing and wanted away. The captain who couldn’t inspire his team. I’m sure the team were inspired by that revelation for the rest of the season

It was money! I got that from the horses mouth direct.

Re: Will Lovell : Mon Jan 01, 2018 1:48 pm  

Whether it was for money or not. I do not think that there were too many tears shed by fans over Tony Clubb leaving the club.

Re: Will Lovell : Mon Jan 01, 2018 3:52 pm  

Of course they wouldn’t, one of the few internationals the club have had, why would anyone worry about him going.

Re: Will Lovell : Mon Jan 01, 2018 7:44 pm  

Perhaps it was because we as fans had worked out that he was not as good as he thought he was.

Re: Will Lovell : Mon Jan 01, 2018 11:20 pm  

Yet he has still played 75 games for Wigan who sit where in SL? Interesting assessment of a players abilities

Micky1234 (AKA... northernbloke) can you please stop stating the bleedin' obvious & add something new or at least something interesting.

Re: Will Lovell : Tue Jan 02, 2018 6:40 am  

Why? Isn’t this a forum, is it not about discussions? The obvious is I didn’t state on Clubb maybe he was too good for us!
