Won't be in for Witt, he's off to Quins with Bryant.

Good. Injury prone and over-rated IMHO.

Also seen Vince Mellars mentioned for centre. To say I'm astounded is an understatement, he isn't good enough. Simple as that.

O'Hara on the other hand, fair game. Lincoln Withers an'all, he's alreet.

Tommy is the best 9 at Wigan for sometime, as a halfback, and I will include 6's in this he is well down on the pecking order of recent times, i.e. behind the likes of
Deacon
Finch
Sam
Trent
Dobson

Keep him at 9.

Where do we really need to recruit, in the centres? I was be very hesitant unless the recruited player was ideal, if not then stick, we have Joel and Acton up and coming, plus we have Charnley who I would love to see given an opportunity in the centres.

Backrow-We're looking good. Even with the departing Hoffman we have Hock looking to impress along with Faz etc.
Props-For me there's still a question mark over Fielden, Davies and O'Carroll, Cross is off and Coley is set to retire which leaves:
Prescott, Mossop, Lima.
This is an issue, but again who is available to sign? I'd like an experienced prop, someone to add leadership considering we are losing Coley.

Another HB? potentially or another FB considering Sam is excellent at both 6 and 1, personally I like him better at 1.

Does anyone know which props and HB's both in the UK and NRL which are free next season? (When's Dobsons contract up)

Personally if the right 9 was available I would be interested to replace McM.

Not too many options for what we need really I dont think. Presuming Deacs and Coley reite then a 6 and a prop is what we need imo.

Been sacked by 4 different clubs by age 22, pretty impressive.

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Fri Aug 05, 2011 11:05 pm  

Mickey Paea (Prop) only 25.
Greg Bird (Might have Visa issues) (Can play a number of positions.

In his last few games at Catalan, Bird was the best player in SL. Current State of Origin player though so I don't fancy our chances.
