Article on Wigan today. Sounds like Cooper will be with us next year but Hampshire won’t.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Thornley and Isa as well.

Thornley has to go. He has been injured most of his time here and i see absolutely no merit in keeping Isa on. He has been a hell of a servant but is way past his best and takes a quota spot. Would like to see him retire and go and work with the younger players in some capacity.

We need a new attack coach too. Sorry Tommy but we have gone from making immense strides under Briers to zero attacking threat. Time to move on.

Do we really think that just because Tommy has replaced Briers that the players have forgot everything he did? Or do we think the problem is not having a specialist 6 playing the role?

French on the wing and a true 6 and I think we would improve overnight but the money hes on we are trying to shoehorn French into the spine and it just isn't working.

Big decisions to make but I dont think TL is one of them

I’d say barring injuries Isa is as good as ever but he’s missed a hell of a lot of this season and at his age is too much of a risk going forward, sometimes you’ve got to be brutal. Thornley I’d be amazed if he got another contract for the reasons stated, serious questions would need asking if we did.

Hampshire was a daft signing you can't bring an injured player into a salary capped squad unless of course said player is world class Hampshire isn't so for me I hope he finds a club for next season
