Bringing in someone high profile sometimes works & sometimes fails & vice versa. If you think you have a really good person for the job ... why advertise? I personally do not know Mr Chambers but he talks a lot of sense & knows Wire well. Not knowing his job description does make any meaningful comments pretty difficult.

Sam Powell is our latest signing.

I read that rumour on the Wigan board yesterday.

If true, then Dwyer must have been moved-on to another club......Maybe Salford??

I'd rather have dwyer i think and trust danny walker to do mostbof every game. Most wigan fans dont rate Sam Powell.

Not that it mattered, the Burgess appointment had Simon Moran written all over it.
He has a close relationship with Russell Crowe.

I think it is reasonable to expect a legitimate DoR to have input on the appointment of the coach.

It would be poor management of Salary Cap, to have 3 hookers, who are all senior players and who are all specialists No. 9`s

I thought same to be honest, can cover in the halves too though.

It seems a bit of a strange signing if true.

Also over on Wigans board we are moving Kasiano and King to Saints and will be covering some of the salary to be able to get Olam in. All very odd, when I first heard of Kasiano to Saints I’d been told that a deal had been worked out that would enable Mikaele to stay. It’s changing faster than the weather lately.
