Yes it is ignoring when is only another rumour. I can't select a team or comment on what is still purely speculation.

The arrival of Powell is only speculation too.

But that aside, if we are about to lose three of our forwards, two of them props, it would make sense to be looking to recruit an extra front rower. Surely you'd agree with that?

In terms of experimental signings I'd think that Hopkins at Leigh would be a better option than Powell.

Radio manchester just played the statement from Steve Diamond about Powell joining us that he made the other day. Harris when asked about it said Wigan's policy is not to comment. Since IL bought the club every other bit of speculation about transfers they have given the same no comment response to has turned out to be true.

Sounds to me like it has happened and they are just waiting until they are ready to announce it as with previous arrivals and departures.

Good call, Hopkins looks an excellent prospect.

Well if that comes off England could have virtually an entire pack playing down under next year.

The game in this country is so f****d if this carries on.

the "great & the good" who puportedly run our game need to get their fingers out & do something with the salary cap PDQ - not holding my breath though.

Still is speculation, I've also heard the same rumours, but that's all they are. If Mossop and Eric do leave then I'll pass comment.

Mossop is gone at end of season, to NRL, and the rumour is SAM TO Sydney.

Which Sydney club? Won't be Souths as they play Inglis at fb who is far superior to Sam. In the halves they play Sutton, who's recently just signed a new deal and Reynolds who's tipped for origin.

I can imagine it being more likely to be the Roosters, Minny's contract is up at the end of the season, at 32/33 he might be on his way out.

However, all this like 98% of things on here is rumour only.
