I’d be happy with either Wardle joining on a long deal or French staying.

If we get both I’d be ecstatic.

Rumour man says Smithies is in talks over a new deal. There’s an exclusive for you! Form loose forward in the comp, with 12 months on his deal in ‘talks’ to extend. Stop the press!!

Hope so. I always had a horrible feeling that Leeds would come sniffing given he’s a Siddal lad. Need to nail him down as he’s brilliant. Trouble is, NRL clubs likely looking at him too. Suits their style to the ground

Aye, all jokes aside about the rumour, clearly we’re going to be talking to him and let’s hope we can tie him down to a 5 year deal. He has come on leaps and bounds this season and after losing Nicholson and McDonnell and KPP likely to follow within the next year, it’s now imperative the rest are held on to. If he tries his hand in the NRL down the track, fair enough but not yet and an exit to another Superleague club can’t be allowed to happen. I’m not sure what it is with Smithies but he seems a bit of a home bird to me, so I’m hopeful.

If we could keep French and bring in Wardle and call that our business, I think we could be extremely pleased. French can cover fullback and allow Field to cover the halves and Brad O’Neill covers Powell.

I’m pessimistic about French staying but that scenario would be fantastic. Cooper has really helped strengthen the pack and King/Wardle would go a long way to solving our centre problems.

Yep, to be honest I’d be over the moon to keep French but to have Wardle too almost seems too good to be true.

I’m happy to have King and believe a Wigan pre-season is exactly what he needs.

This is where i am at. King signing on his own is a bit... well.. 'meh' but if Wardle also signs then the King deal looks like a great piece of business. If French then decides to stay on then i might just streak around the estate. Springfield if anybody is interested but don't get your hopes up, i favver an undressed Ken doll in the buff...... nothing to see here
