Galloway is a name I think of when I try and work out which props we could target.

Alas he plays in the NRL and we're not looking there for players as we'd rather buy somebody in from a relegated team (even if they came via the NRL) or promote an 11stone Platt Wazzer.

I love seeing a team chocked full of Wiganers but it's a pipe dream to think we can avoid the NRL when it comes to signings and still expect to be competitive.

Galloway would be quality.

What happened to Shillington?

Burgess would be a good high min prop. What about Scruton if Wakey go down?

It was mentioned in commentary in the NZW/Raiders game that Shillington has signed a two year deal for the Gold Coast (IIRC)

Scruton is easily better than what we have. I don't think Leeds were sorry to see the back of him though.

Not sure about Keith Galloway. Woods and Taupau do most of the eye catching stuff for Wests. Galloway seems steady though. Certainly an improvement on Flower, Crosby etc.

Scruton is woeful, stay well well away. The French lad whose name escapes me could be worth a punt, but that is the point he would be a punt and we need quality not projects upfront.

Signing all these projects put us in the position we are in now with our pack.

Sad truth is we won't sign any forwards.

If we don't splash the cash, who's in the crèche that's ready to step up? Notwithstanding too heavy reliance on the kids has arguably led us to the current indifferent form.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Jul 03, 2015 6:14 pm  
I've just heard from a good source that we have a new forwards coach lined up who will resolve our issues and some overnight.
IL was seen this afternoon exiting Harry's Bar after interviewing the go to man with the font of all knowledge on rugby league forwards.
My source confronted IL who seemed somewhat startled but admitted he was still floating on air after meeting with the great man.
After a brief interchange my source got down to the basics and asked who his dinner time partner was and what the purpose of their meeting. Apparently IL couldn't contain himself and blurted out that he had met the guy who would save our season nay, our souls and deliver us from those awful bullies be they in Warrington, St Helens or Catalan and beat the shoite out of them.
When asked when would this Svengali figure start and who he was IL almost stained his kecks in excitement.
You heard this here first..................

Once his "contract" is concluded he will leave the Thatto Heath U9's and join the WW staff from his bedroom and send texts, emails, Twitter shoite and just about any other media outlet that his mam will let him have access to so that he can just tell SW and his current under performers just how it is.
Mugwump joins us with the full backing of St Pete and the entire membership of his fan club ie himself.
I've just booked my Grand Final tickets and can't wait to watch Patrick (or Paddy as Mugwump will call him) and Mossop ( or LEEVIT as dear old Mugwump will chastisingly call him) tear a new one on every pack in the country.
There is a god and my prayers have been answered.

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”

His time in Union will end in misery. Who will sign him up?
