Not a chance in hell Manu tuilagi will he at saints this year or next. I expect we will have set out which centre we'd like to sign.

Rumours persist on C&W that they're in talks with Gary Wheeler.

Rumours around the Yorkshire Pride in Benidorm that Sam Tomkins was set to replace Freddy Starr in IACGMOOHere, We all now know why he didn't, Tad (Cas supporter) the owner was not pleased that he chose Twickers instead of the Jungle.
he would have been good on the rat run

Would love Tuilagi at Saints, he seems purpose built for RL. Can't see it happening at all, though.

Wheeler to Wigan? Would involve a transfer fee, wouldn't it? That would be a gamble for them, given his injury history. It would be interesting if a decent bid came in; just how much faith are the club prepared to invest in him?

I'm not sure it would you know. He's in the same boat as Moore in my opinion. The club clearly have issues with him, different issues than Scott granted, but issues none the less.

The fact it's Wigan might muddy the waters somewhat, although the club seems to be getting better now Leneghan is there. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he just left as Moore did, with no public acknowledgement from the club.

The difference I see is that Moore has had years, and many second chances, to prove he's more than just an alecan. Sooner or later, the negatives outweigh the hope that he can turn the corner.

Wheeler is still young, and with him it isn't a lifestyle choice, it's physicality.

Plus, he has the potential to be a far, far greater player than Moore ever could have.

It is official. We are not recruiting anymore players for 2012. Instead, McManus wants to use the remaining cap money plus the extra bit awarded thanks to the RFL being in bed with Wigan to our 'starlets', including Jonny Lomax.

I would be happy with that approach. I just don't see who else we can sign that would benefit the squad
