No, had fitness problems since he returned from the NRL. Would want big marquee money and that he's rumoured to be going to Catalans who could be relegated when instead he could easily be at a club challenging and winning trophies speaks volumes about mindset/attitude.

I think Walker would make the easier transition to 6, but I don't know why you would write off Tomkins, he has turned himself into a good creator for others now his pace has dropped. It looks like it is Wigan trying to move him on to move Hardaker in, not him trying to force a move, obviously he may be more money than he is worth, but I still think we should at least be talking to him.

If nothing else it could force the issue with Moon, either get him to resign (in which case we dont need Tomkins) or admit he is going back to Aus, allowing us to start looking for replacements.

The club probably knows exactly where they stand with Moon, won't need to inquire about Tomkins or anybody else to do that.

With Tomkins usually moving into the halves mid game then they could fit him and Hardaker into the same team and the Hardaker's rumours have gone pretty cold and even some have said the deal is dead on the Wigan board.

With him turning 30 at the start of 2019 and opting for Catalans with how poor that club is right now, again it speaks volumes. Look at what some of our guys achieved post 30

Leeds among the clubs chasing Joe Batchelor from York City Knights. Will doubt with the talent we have coming through the ranks that he will join us.

Won't Hardaker be banned for next season anyway?

Nosey Parker jumping on the Joe Greenwood rumour, it seems to be going round more

Seen him linked with a couple of the usual suspects including Wigan.

Spoken to a few sources today who believe a three year deal has been signed with Joe Greenwood.

With us???? And if so....with immediate effect or from start of next season?

Not sure how well he's gone in NRL but was one of SL top backrowers before he went. Very good signing if true.
