An unnecessary luxury, as far as I'm concercerned. Gildart does indeed look a class act, with ball in hand. Yes, we're losing Goodwin, but we STILL have Atkins (I don't see the point of getting rid of him), and Burrell to come in. Are we still linked with Gelling? Livett can play centre, too. We have cover. Save the money, and spend it where we NEED it. PROP.
Atkins is leaving at the end of the year aswell so that's 2 centres down, and i keep saying it but theres bo guarantee at all that Burrell will play in the centres in League just because he played Centre in union. He's got the speed and power of a really explosive second rower so may have a spell there. The Gildart rumour seems a made up one to be honest. Sarginson is going to Salford so why would they let their number 1 centre go aswell unless THEY are after Gelling to replace him. Can't see this happening at all as it makes Zero sense on Wigans side.

Penny dropped here. Exactly...you don't sell your best players, and if you do...you make sure it isn't to a rival....all of Wigan's best end up abroad. Wigan won't allow Gildart to join Wire or Saints. Burrell will be playing soon. He's in good shape.
