Taylor has already signed, so unless another prop is leaving I can't see us getting Huby. Would live it if we did though.

I'm guessing Carvell will go, but that still leaves Paea, Feka, Taylor, Bowden, Green and Watts. And that's not even including Thompson who has played a lot of prop this year.

Bobby Tyson-Wilson also

We've agreed a deal with Taylor but Wigan have took up his 3rd year option to guarantee a fee. Won't be cheap either I reckon.

Looks like we've missed our HB #1 target (Dobson). Don't be surprised if we sign Campese.

There's also an outside chance it could be somebody who was once refused a visa to join Hudds.

Carney, I wish!

Don't both party's have to agree to the final year when it's optional , so if Taylor doesn't want to see out the 3rd year surely he's a free agent .

Optional contracts can be on the side of either party, or mutually confirmed. So it can be a case of Wigan taking up the optional year without Taylor having a say in the matter (that direction of option usually comes when a club is unsure how successful a player will be ...)

That's what I would have thought, but I've found this reference a couple of times....

with a further years option in the Club’s favour for 2015.

Guess that rules him out then! I did say it was an outside chance.

They have to agree to the option being there, but once the criteria is met whoever the party that has the option can enforce it. Pretty standard really.

Not a twitter rumour or a rumour for that matter but from the horses mouth. Motu wasn't giving much away but he said he believed his signings already in the bag (3) and those pending (3) would make us all very happy. Smaller squad more quality.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but someone in Tony's position is unlikely to say "I have got 3 in the bag, 3 pending. But don't get your hopes up, half of them you won't have heard of and they other half are currently on the physio's table".

Motu is trying to recruit better then what we have with what players are available, he is doing right by the club we should give these blokes a pat on the back & not criticise as much as we do on this forum, I suppose that's just how some folk are, glass half empty!
