Nearly June and loads of players OOC but pretty much no renewal announcements.
Some deals done but waiting for the right PR timing to announce?
BH keeping his powder dry?

Would like to hear some news personally.

with a few clubs sniffing around to make changes it would be nice for the club to confirm the 'The Hull Daily Mail believes' rumours about Connor and Cator at least. But I bet a few covet Sao and Satae and it would be such a shame if the group we are building is broken up.

I agree with you there though it sounded positive in the interview with Satae that he was really happy here and with the other piece the other day about him and Sao being close the. It can only be a positive.

Though would be nice to be given some news on the resigning front if there is any that is.

From what I hear, the only players who haven't sorted new deals are Masi, Faraimo and Ma'u. I am sure they are planning to announce some soon

I'm wondering if covid has affected the sense of smell with the unusually low amount of Wilfs Whiff's at this present time

Wouldn’t surprise me if we announce some retentions before the next home game in June. Get some interest up, and generate soon good news for (hopefully) ticket sales.

I suspect a lot of clubs are doing that, soon as a ground can be filled they will dig some good news out.

While he won't interest us George Williams being released today for home sickness will prompt some moves, even on marquee money teams would need to find 150k space on their cap, so that means shifting a big earner or 2 or 3 smaller earners out.

Both Wigan and Leeds have the money, due to the release of Burgess and Eastmond.

Be very surprised if Wigan don't take George Williams back on his return back to the UK. Although Leeds have a need for a player such as Williams I can't see him signing for Leeds when Wigan lose Hastings at the end of this season so will need a replacement and Williams back at his home town club. I know he'd commented about going stale at Wigan but hes been away from Wigan now so may want the comfort of being back at Wigan.
So unless Leeds are prepared to offer silly money I just can't see Williams going anywhere else but back to Wigan.

Me too, him and Hastings would win Wigan the GF IMO.
