JWH was at the Michael Maguire event at Robin Park last month, he looked like he was enjoying himself mingling with our players, coaches and supporters.

I heard a whisper on this during the week but could just be someone who's read the same rumors online. Would mean a current quota prop (contracted) would need to leave like.

Always been one of those players I don't like and I would really struggle to take to him in a Wigan shirt.

I suppose if he smacks the Saints pack around on GF then I'll soon be his biggest fan, but would be similar feelings to those of JonH I think.

Can’t see this one being true after the whole “sign a young player from Australia who is hungry to improve” tactic we’ve employed.

Wouldn’t mind him for a year or two as he’s still a brilliant player, great leader and was great to chat to at the Maguire night.

Maybe not but, after signing Cooper, our stance may have changed.

Not worth the money for the amount of time he’d be sat in the stands. Let’s not forget he’ll be getting judged by the RFL disciplinary board and it’s a totally different ball game to the MRL and it’s like another world to how things have been judged in this World Cup. His tackle against Ireland got a single game ban. It would’ve been 4 or 5 in the league here and those things are a regular occurrence with him.

Plus at 34 injuries are more likely.

If Wigan signed JWH and he didn’t get injured or banned he would be absolutely quality. I would even go as far as saying it’s the signing that’s the difference between runners up and SL winners

Injuries can happen at any age, look at Manfredi

JWH is a big name international signing, the likes of which have not been seen at Wigan since Pongia
