NSW:Stu M:
I may be horribly wrong with this but I wonder if Sambou has actually signed for Wigan? There were rumours that he has U turned on the deal and then Wellens mentioned him yesterday as an option for this weekends game. No mention of Vaughan who given our injuries is a more experienced player and has actually played first team before. Vaughan hasn't made a 21 man squad so far this season.
Sambou has been named in the 21 man squad today and by all accounts will play on Friday. Just seems a bit strange to me. However we now have Feldt's injury to add to Murphy, Hurrell, Dagnall and Percival (who may also miss Friday but back next week) so he may well be set for some game time over the next few weeks.
How often is Matt Shaw wrong mate ?
Yeah I think its way more likely he's signed than not. I just don't get why Sambou is being considered for first team and Vaughan isn't. I know he's more of a fit with our current injuries (again) in the backs but Vaughan has at least played 8-9 SL games and wouldn't be making his debut tonight if indeed the rumours are true and Sambou does start tonight.
By all accounts though he was very good against Wigan for the Reserves last week and is more of a winger/centre than Vaughan so it may just be us having to suck it up and play him.
