Wakefield forum saying you are in for Lino. The rare times I’ve seen him he’s looked really good!

Jon Wells said it weeks ago when he was speculating that TL may retire and who would be a possible replacement.

All of a sudden it’s appeared on a website quoting Wells speculation and it is being taken as fact.

It’s a non story click bait.

We have our 7 it’s Smith shirt to lose. I also expect TL to go round again in a back up role.

Charnley is available next year. IMO he would make a great short term shout if/when Bibby goes and Miski shows no sign of progression.

Peet also, perhaps unsurprisingly, distanced Wigan with a move to bring Josh Charnley back to the club after it was confirmed he would not be offered a new deal with Warrington. He said: "I like Josh. Good player, good lad but I'm not sure it's something we'd be looking at. I hope he gets sorted."

I’d be happy for him to be back up to Cust and Smith.

He was playing well pre injury almost rejuvenated under the new set up.

We need 3 halves in the squad supported by quality juniors I’d be comfortable with the 3 we currently have.

Kai Pearce Paul agreed a deal with Newcastle Knights according to the Aussie press. Disappointed he hasn't stayed another 2 years before trying the NRL but all the top youngsters we bring through are going to be under threat of going why our cap stays so low

I have no issues with players going and testing themselves in the NRL, and someone mentioned the type of club they sign for but I think it's just a case of taking your chance when it comes. You're a couple of injuries or some bad form away from that chance never coming around again.

My biggest complaint is why it always seems to be Wigan that lose players. I'd love us to be able to keep the same squad together for 2 or 3 seasons and see what we can achieve rather than re-building season after season.

I'm getting bored of these "players going and testing themselves in the NRL" excuse bollox, Players today are from a different culture, It's all about the money and fame, nothing more, If players really wanted to test themselves then surely they would wait until they where better players and go at 25/26, not 20/21, Money, Fame & Lifestyle that's all they are going for.

Don't blame them for that either.

Someone offers me a job doing the same thing for more money then I'm probably going to go.

I don't either, but surely they would get more if they where Grand Final & Challenge Cup winning international 25 year olds
