Noe before i start off i GOT TOLD this last night so make of it what you will

Wayne Bennett is after Jeff Lima for the Knights next season

Moi Moi wants to come over here and Barrett,Riddell etc... have been talking to him about us and he's keen

Like i said just rumors but for me we need to keep Lima he's been the man

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:23 am  

Would love to have Fui in a Wigan shirt but Lima has a good engine. Fui could possible be a step back to Feka style impact off the bench and with the reduction in interchange isnt the way to go for me.

Isn't FF some kind of visa no-no? I'm sure clubs have tried to sign him before, and have failed.

I believe that Moi Moi has served time when he was younger which may well be the issue raised by Cruncher.

Burgess is going to join his brothers in Australia so whilst Bradford may like the cash I doubt that he would sign on the dotted line.

I would expect Bateman to attract the most interest but if Warrington want him, which I suspect they will, then I cannot see any other club being able to compete with us when it comes to paying a transfer fee.

erm, no....?

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:06 pm  

bateman has looked really impressive so far. his strength for a young player is fasntastic. he would definitely get in our 17 ahead of tuson imo

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:45 pm  

Bradford need the money and whoever bids the highest transfer fee will probably offer Bateman the largest salary.
PY may well be right in that other clubs won't compete with Wire. Leeds and Wigan can but neither will I'd imagine.
Interesting last Friday that Wire had four players out yet had no one in their squad who qualifies by age for their U20s.
Although Sam is reportedly the highest paid player in SL Wire appear to have more highly paid players than any other club.
Wire, of course, will be under the cap as the RFL haven't found otherwise.

I like the look of Danny Addy as a wild card, very good runner very aggressive going forward and in defence. A real handful.

If we do and other teams do end up picking the bones off Bradford. I hope we are willing to loan them back to the Bulls for the remainder of the season if they are not going to feature realistically in our short term first team plans.

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=521605&start=350 Brough to Wigan? A halfback with an outstanding kicking game and lots of pace? Yes please!

Brough's a cracking individual but I'm not to sure he's a team player. It seems to me as though every team he's ever been a part of have been a one man team, and coming to Wigan that clearly wouldn't be the case. Also he's quite a journeyman and I'm not to keen on the fact that he's moved between a lot of clubs. It's a no from me I'm afraid.

I'd much rather see a 6 and 7 of Sam and Finch with Russel at 1 above any other option, and that's including Dureau. I want to see some long term stability in the halves and the only way we'll get that is with predominantly British players.
