Wardle is a great get for Wigan.
The Halsall/Bibby moves are interesting. I can understand Halsall wanting to play regularly but will he do that at Huddersfield with all their outside backs? Never quite bought into the hype around him - for me he's just not explosive enough for a centre in his early years.
With Bibby I have to say he's looked strong the few times Iv seen him for the reserves. But we do have a lot of front rowers and Wigan obviously feel the benefits of the deal outweigh the costs.
Must admit I read the press release about Halsall and how it’s his time to start playing regularly and I wondered where that will be because it’s still tough to see it at Huddersfield. He’ll have McGilllvary, Senior, Bibby, Naiqama, Cudjoe and Marsters to get past in the wing/centre spots. He’s possibly further back now then he was here. A move to Warrington would possibly have been a fast track to a centre spot, much in the same way Nicholson wanted a quick way to get a starting spot. They need a centre desperately.
