Decent player IMO that grafts all day long

Is partial to a mistake or three, however i am not sure how he has fared since being at Hudds over the course of the year.

from the limited time i have seen him he looked to have kicked on. I think the general feeling between Hudds and Wigan fans is that we got the bum deal having Larne Patrick come in.

But with the benefit of hindsight...

oh absolutely

When the deal was struck i sniggered under my breath that Hudds had got a very raw (but capable) young talent and we had signed a top class impact 2nd rower with a good pedigree and loads of potential.

the deal seemed like a no brainier.

However for some reason it just has not worked out for Patrick and i would not be against him departing at seasons end. On the other hand Hughes has secured himself a deal (possibly) with a decent mid table side. Dont get me wrong obviously Wire are a huge, huge step down from both Hudds or Wigan, but at least he will get game time as the Wolfs fight it out at the bottom of the table next year.

Who knows, he might even get rewarded with a promotion back to SL next year after Wire get relegated.

Fair play to the lad

Someone has just posted on one of the Faceboooook forums that we are due to make 4 announcements on Thursday. Ive heard a couple of the rumours on various pages I follow but this lad is claiming

1. Deacon leaving to go to Sale (that seems to have hit mainstream news now)
2. Lockers to take over this coaching role.
3. Sarginson is leaving to NRL/RU (heard this before with different destinations muted)
4. Wigan have signed Widdop ( first Ive heard and will believe it when I see it)

But having said that the rumour mill is in overdrive at the minute. Bridge, Ratchford, Hansen all been voiced on various pages. Will be interesting to see what the recruitment does actually amounts to because there have been some quality names brandished about.

The announcement that I've heard of involves four but four players who by the sound of it have had a lucky escape.

I was going to say you can expect a few enquiring PMs but, to tell the truth, I'm finding our forum a bit down on numbers these days compared to other clubs'. Anyway Deacs' demise creates the perfect opening for Lockers IMO.

I must admit I didn't think of SOL to replace Deacon but you are probably spot on.
Not sure what a PM is so if I have had any I'm unaware of the fact!

There is a young backs coach at Salford who goes by the name of Martin Gleeson (GLEESON ) who since being appointed to coach the Salford under 19s have gone on to win their last 7 matches. He is still only 35 years old and still probably better than any current Wigan centre. What a waste of talent that was when he decided to burn his bridges with Wigan.
