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

Yeah but SL is expanding to 24 clubs from next year

If we lose the likes of crooks and lineham and sign people like radders' old bradford buddy pryce and average south sea islanders then the club will be back to square one

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:25 am  

Think most of the 10 to leave have already gone with Pitts, Arundel etc.

Out of those currently at the club i'd imagine only Whiting may possibly leave, with Heremaia definitely leaving. Add in 2-3 new signings I don't see the squad being that bad.

Shaul
Lancaster
Sa
Crooks
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Hadley
Westerman

Cunningham
Bowden
Feka
Tuson

Thompson
Green
Yeaman
Rankin
HTW
BTW
Abdull
Turget

Then you're obviously adding at least 2 to that. Fao'ologo(sp) yes, Lynne NO!

We won't lose either yet, I always thought Crooks would leave after his contract ends anyway as he was the only one that didn't sign a long deal.

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

And Lancaster for that matter?

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

Fear not Jake I think you'll find Wakey got wind of the Lynne wheeze (some would say thank goodness for that) and quickly bumped up his wages!!! (that worked then) The other one came from Huddersfield and the Bradford Telegraph and Argus and hasn't been mentioned since

TFFT but if that's the definition of quality players from our coach then god help us when he moves down his list of targets

I know he's been injured a lot but I'm still not 100% sure about Tuson. Oh and I'd be gutted if Thompson went, Seen plenty of things from him this year to say he is definatly worth keeping.

Tuson is pants but this recent injury is complicated as its so near to his last neck injury.Wouldnt surprise me if doctors advise him to stop playing.Hate to see this for any player but can see it coming.

From a playing personel we need a big prop and second row.Since Carvell was injured we have never won the forward battle and Paea like several other players have gone backwards.
Think we have burnt our boat with overseas players and agents looking at how we have treated Gentle,Mcdonnell,and probable Miller to come so where we get them from I don't know.

Doubt it. Sentiment comes someway down the list in pro sport. At the top is £ notes.

But that's what he did with Pryce and now sees him as a marquee signing.
