There must be some speedy young hookers in Australia! I remember Halifax signing nine Young Aussie unknowns and they were great..

Heard a certain fullback at Leeds is in trouble again. Wonder how many more chances he will get.

If that's true, I'd hope we try to snatch him.

Bad boy or not, he could do a much better job for us in the centres than the current pair.

What makes you think that? Have you EVER seen him pass the ball? No - me neither. Zak may have many fine qualities, but passing the ball ain't one of them.

In any case Leeds won't let him go. No chance.

I've barely seen Sarginson pass the ball either, but it doesn't stop some fans advocating him.

But if it's an issue, we could play Zak at full-back and move Sam into the halves, because Matty Smith also needs to be replaced.

As for Leeds not releasing him, I agree with you there. I expect they'd sell him cut-price to Batley rather than accept a big fee to let him join Wigan.

Looks like Ben Roberts might be out for a while- good chance for Ryan Hampshire to get a halfback run.

Once Leigh have got some cover in Bob Beswick will be moving to Wigan.

This is what I understand to be the position as well. Can't say it excites me but lets look on the bright side, at least he is from Wigan..........

:lol: Wane won't rest until we have 17 Wiganers in the team every week.

Why did we let Logan go and then sign an average journeyman from the Championship?

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Mar 08, 2016 7:14 pm  
To be honest I'm not against the idea of Bob Beswick. We need cover for a season, and he is decent. We won't get in a world class hooker because we have McIlorum to come back and he wouldn't play second fiddle. Similarly a world class hooker would want the majority of game time, as would McIlorum.

That leaves us with Powell. All we need is someone who is a better hooker than Powell, and someone who wouldn't mind being an interchange hooker in the future. I think Beswick would fit the bill reasonably well. The only problem here is that he is out injured until April time (if I remember correctly).

In other news, I heard we are interested in Lloyd White (now THAT would be a great signing), and we do have money available as we apparently almost signed Ferres. However, I don't honestly think there is anything in the White rumour.
