You really dont have a clue what he could have brought to Wigan RLFC do you?

The lad had a fantastic career but I'm glad he's not ended up at Wigan. I still fear for next season. We've not been linked to anybody who I would class as world class and I still think we need it. our young lads will do a job but we need to bring in some more class.

Tim Smith to Wakefield.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:23 pm  

the only problem position for us next year seems to be centre, I would love IL to pull a rabbit out of a hat and announce a signing of a top class centre but if not I would definately move charnley inside and give roberts a final oppertunity on the wing.

Now for Lauaki to be snapped up by Widnes, and it's happy days.

Still think we're a hooker/HB plus a quality forward short as well tbh, that's not including the likely scenario that Joel leaves. I expect us to blood more youngsters this year than last, but that won't be adequate to cover the departures of Coley, Hoffman and Deacon (plus losing backup players such as Cross, O'Carroll and Davies)
