Where has is been said we can't afford to buy Patrick out of his deal? If it has been said I'm pretty sure it is a face saving exercise by Wigan as that move hasn't worked out so why would we retain him?
Hurrell is one I have thought about a few times as a player we should target. He isn't getting game time at centre at the Warriors and is being used more as an impact sub in the pack. The Warriors have big ambition going forward and are bringing in some high earners and Hurrell may well have to be sacrificed to accommodate them under the cap.
