I think the decision has been made that from now on announcements regarding new personnel, be it players or coaching staff, will be left until the end of the season. I expect that if we are beaten on Saturday there will be announcements next week or if we win during the week after the GF. It's the right way to go about things imo.

That's correct. Ian Lenagan has said so (it was mentioned on sky that he had anyway). I agree that this is the right way to go about things. We know that Shaun Wane will be in charge and that we've signed Lauaki.

If we could find a centre from somewhere that would be brilliant. To move Joel back in the pack to replace Hoffman would be fantastic, but the signing of Lauaki suggests that we haven't found one. The market is grim in regards to centres.

Just to stir the rumour mill up. Apparently (according to a reputable poster on wiganwarriorsfans) Wigan have said to Amos Roberts he is no longer part of our plans. We're looking to agree a compensation package with him and release him or try to find him another club.

Purely about Roberts or about an incoming player as well?

Both.
Inclusive in a swap deal.
Now it seems to have fallen through and it's just about us doing everything to be rid of him

That's a real shame after all the effort he's made this year towards getting the team to the Grand Final he's going to miss out on it.

Do we know whether the game is at Orrell, Leigh or Halliwell Jones yet?

How many knees has he got? That must be his THIRD knee operation so far!
