Well there can only be one good reason which is, despite statements to the contrary from Rads, we are about to sign a better player.

Yes because they offered the most £££. A player leaving Wigan is only going to get substantially more money from clubs like Hull KR and Salford where they are marquee players.

If I had found myself below Jack Hughes in the pecking order for a centre spot (as Wane seems to suggest) I think I would be off to HKR as well.

Yep, that and, just like us, the other big clubs wouldn't have offered him a starting spot for 2015. He's had a couple of good seasons in 2010 and 2012 but I think we need to be realistic about whether this is actually that big a loss. Despite the very long period of time he's been with us and the mass of appearances, he's hardly set the world alight

In a way I sad to see Goulding go. He's done ok for us, not spectacular, but solid enough. 2 season stood out, one on the wing where he was gifted a lot of tries, the other at centre where to be fair Tomkins made him look good. I think in Thornley, Gelling and Sarg we have better options going forward.

If as stated we offered him 1 year and HKR 3 I can't blame him for going and wish him well for the future.

In your opinion. Just because you dont rate him doesnt mean that others dont. You also seem to forget he was quite good last season too. Goulding had never been left out by Wane until he told the club he was leaving 2 months ago and he has always been Wane's number 1 centre. He was also offered a new contract and would have been the starting centre next season. It was only last season Wane was saying he should have been picked by England and now you are trying to say he doesnt rate him. You are believing the PR rubbish coming out of the club a little too much. Also btw St Helens and Huddersfield both apparently tried to sign him but maybe they weren't big clubs.

For goodness sake!!!!! Wigan are not going to say "yes we are in the market for a top quality centre".
