Big shame we couldn't persuade Steve Price to come over, would be just what our pack needed. He had a really good game this morning and scored a double! Even taking a bomb that Pat would have been proud of

Dave Taylor had a great game too, he's already been snapped up for next year though hasn't he?

Lockyer was also very good and it would be worth spending the load of cash that he would want. He would be a great investment, give it a try IL!

Interesting read on BBC Sport, A certain Mr Briscoe sounds like he wouldn't mind a return

Why do i keep hearing rumours about us signing Terry Newton and Paul Johnson? Surely a hooker and a second row are exactly the opposite of what we need right now seeing as we already have 3 hookers and about 100 second rowers?

At least some people on here would get their wish of a full 'wigan' team.

I can just about understand them going for Johnson if he's on peanuts but not Newton.

Johnson is a guy that could cover second row and left centre/Wing and would be handy to have if he could stay fit(big if). We've lost Hock and would look to be letting go Bailey so Johnson looks a like for like replacment for Bailey.

Aslong as Mossop/Farrell/Flanagan are getting the place left by Hock i'd be happy enough to see Johnson back on board.

We don't need Newton even if Riddell is leaving(which i doubt). McIlorum has come on leaps and bounds this season and Leuluai is a natural 9.

If we do get newton we obviously won't be signing a halfback.

I very much doubt Myler willl demand 6 figures. He will of been on peanuts for quite some time at Salford I rekon but there is not way Wire would pay him that much, if they do then they are stupid.

They offered him a contract to make him the highest paid player in Salfords history. Your telling me that wont be six figures?

Well I thought Salford were one of the teams not paying anywhere near the full cap so I am not sure.

Well even if he was only on 5 figures he would still probably be the highest paid player in their history

If true and he does leave it must be down to one of two things, who ever signs him is going to give him more money, or he's leaving for a lesser wage but an increased chance of winning trophies.
