The big thing coming out this year is quality over quantity, so if 10 out then i expect we may only bring in 3 or 4.

The next two signings are going to have to be world class then!

There was talk of us wanting another back, I can't see that happening now with the extension of Talanoa's contract and Lancaster scoring for fun.

I'd go with
Shaul
Talanoa
Sa
Crooks
Lineham (Lancaster)
Pryce (Rankin)
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
New Prop
New 2nd Row
Ellis
Westerman

Loads of talent for bench/squad - Bowden, Thompson, Cunningham, Feka, Hadley, Tuson, Green, HTW, BTW, Abdul

I think the signing of Sa, the emergence of Lancaster and the competence of Talanoa has put an end to our search for an outside back.

Now we'll have room under the cap when the season starts for a panic-signing.

So you anticipate you'll be panicking again next year then?

Didn't wilf suggest we were signing reece lynne and david fa'alogo? Add those 2 to that squad and it's still firmly bottom 4 and with radfrod as coach at risk of being bottom 12 in 2016

I'd go with Crookes, Colbon, Arundle, Pitts, Heremaia, Miller, Kent, Watts. Maybe Whiting and Horne?

Add to that McDonnell and Carvell already gone.

I want to see at least 2 more big signings, prop and 2nd rower for me.

Agree on Crookes, Colbon, Arundel, Pitts, Azza and Kent. I think given the Pryce and Sneyd signings and his recent dual-reg with Donny that Miller will be on his way too. Not sure about Watts. Can see Whiting leaving because of his lack of game time (a disgrace IMO) and Horne will depend on whether he decides to retire or not. I have a feeling that if he decides to play on that we'll retain him.

Could Ben Crooks be on the move given his lack of opportunities this year?

Don't see the problem with that, Wigan are bottom 12 this year.

Fa'alogo is good but Reece Lyne no thanks!

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:19 am  

If we were to sign a forward from Huddersfield it'd have to be Larne Patrick for me. Absolute beast!
Favourite forward in the league!

I guess that depends on whether Lineham and Crooks stay or go.
