Surely that’s not his decision? That’s the mysterious Head Coaches decision!

Once we have a decent coach, I expect an extra 20% from every player, just like when MM came in and turned Noble's bang average coaching around, we should expect the same when the new coach comes in and turns Wanes bang average coaching around.

We will sign more players no doubt, but the biggest signing for years will be a new coach.

Which is kind of in line with what a few people on here seem to have heard about why Wane ultimately decided to leave.

That means so far we have,

OUT: Sam Tomkins, Joel Tomkins, Ryan Sutton, probably John Bateman.
In: Hardaker, Greenwood.

The two new players coming in are of good quality, but not sure they offset the losses completely.

Love Rugby League reporting Fijian front rower Eloni Vunakece is available after coming off contract with Sydney Roosters, anyone with any better NRL knowledge than me know anything about him?

Could bolster our pack if he’s good enough.

Eloni Vunakece is currently not playing Rugby League and will not be signing for Wigan. Still an avid supporter of the Roosters though!

Fair enough, I don’t know much about him to be fair. Sticking to the props linked to SL clubs; Serious About RL reporting Fifita linked to Warrington. They’re never normally far off either. He’s a fantastic prop and one which I’d hope Wigan would be chasing also.
