Are that much worse than Hull KR?

If they can add a forward or two (maybe they already have) then they could shock the odd side.

I think they are but nothing is certain in sport! Hit a run of form or make LSV a fortress and it's enough. As you say, it's the pack that looks concerning. Flower wasn't amazing for us but looks like their best forward on paper. Merry Christmas by the way not missing boxing day games if I'm honest

So, any remotely Wigan RL related rumours for this aptly named thread?

My rumour is that there will be no more players coming in before the first game, and no major players leaving either. Just like any other year by this time. I hope you are sufficiently intrigued!

It’s better than the drivel of the last 10-15 posts

I've just seen that Blake Ferguson has been told he can leave Parramatta, he would fit in nicely for a season until we are sure of Manfredi and/or Marshals fitness. https://www.zerotackle.com/eels-tell-st ... 020-84700/

Ben Jones Bishop is a free agent.

If we go for a wing we could do worse than him for a season depending on how much he wants.

Prop still a priority for me, a quality one, but until the George Burgess situation runs it’s course then he may be snookered on that one.

Although I suppose he could keep Burgess company.

Would think he would require big money if not marquee money to come to SL. Just don’t see why we would invest big money in a winger when we have a more pressing issue in the middle of the field.

Jones Bishop would be a good 12 month deal however we wont sign anyone as we have enough cover for wing with Bibby, Field, French, Hallsall or Hanley who could cover there.
