It's just chat about What If.
I don't think anyone actually believes Miller is going and certainly don't expect Hardaker to be coming here

The possible rumour there could turn out in our favour, who knows.

Not sure who'd play 6, personally, I'd prefer Rocky there, but Gaskell can play there too.

Hasn't Hardaker been spending time in the centre in recent seasons. I think since Tupou's injury problems, he's been the shadow of his former self. Also, with the possibility of Arundel going, it does give us options.

Also, it would free up a quota spot, which could be used to strengthen elsewhere.

Hopefully some positive news on the stadium, with confirmation of the new coach, and maybe some new incoming players

For me, cautious optimism

If I were into conspiracy theories then if Wigan have been after Miller for a while then the signing of Gaskell.

I’m not into these theories but for those who are then there you go.

I love the close season. Full of optimism, anticipation, Boxing Day friendly and free weekends.

If Gaskell is that good ,why did Wigan not go after him ,Hoping it is not true but if it is, it's a backwood step for Wakefield .OK we got a quota spot .but we would have to find a 6.

Just think it through.
If Wigan are shopping for a stand off at the club who scraped 10th place and letting an international centre/fullback go in return, they are in more trouble than I thought.

Perhaps we might find a 6 without the 80+ missed tackles and 30 errors in a 20 game season !

What I find frustrating is that most of the cash for next year as been spent by a Coach that is not here

Genuinely who are Wigan going to get? Unless they wait for someone to drop out of the NRL ie ash Taylor, but then he was on about £5/600K at the Titans. Who is there over here of any real quality at 6 Who’s available? Just because we finished 10th doesn’t mean Miller wouldn’t go well at Wigan amongst better players. I think it’s not just a worry for Wigan but SL in general , as the lack of quality coming through teams as well as quality coming over from the NRL is decreasing.
