You can’t ignore the fact you have gone big on forwards for next year.

I’m assuming you will be looking to try move on some contracted Props but the cap is going to be tight particularly as it stands.

We had an unbalanced side with not enough grunt to start 2022, and now we have an unbalanced squad with too much grunt at the expense of our centres/wingers. Yes, there's a surplus of forwards, some of which will be moved on as there won't be any first team rugby for them.

With our forwards for next season ,i think some of them will soon be on first name terms with the disciplinary committee & i would not be surprised if most of the time our squads will be made up of our young forwards. I wait to be convinced that next year will be anything but a shambles.

I mentioned on another thread a few weeks ago that the comments that Matty Peat came out with when we signed Nicholson were only a day or so after we had agreed the loan / swap with Wardle and King.
At the time it appeared like quite a strong rant about an 18 year old that had played one game. So maybe there was a bit more behind it and we had inadvertently screwed up wigans plans for Wardle

I never had a problem with King when he was here so wish him the best of luck at Wigan.
Some strange parallels here. Didnt Hardaker end up on the outer at Wigan because he didnt want to get the coach back to Wigan after a game in Yorkshire.

Yes, the stance from Powell and Peet is that the team travels in the team coach, plays the away games and then return as a team on the coach, back to their home ground.

If players choose to live in Yorkshire and travel every day for training, that is their choice but on matchdays they have to adhere to the club`s rules, regarding travelling as a team.

We’ll be paying lots of King’s wages as well as Cooper’s for now. We’ve probably thrown Wigan a few quid to overturn their signing of Wardle too.

It’s win win all round, we get improvements in both areas with Vaughan and Wardle and we keep money in the game by giving a skint club some money to sign another one of our Academy players.

If King turns his game around and Wigan get him playing well, then we can take him back off them for the remaining 2 years of his contract and thank them for the favour.

Sooner or later our benefactors are going to get tired of pumping money into the club like this.

Pay for players to go, pay for them to come, pay for them to come, go and stay away.....

Situation is quite ludicrous. (If it's all to be believed)

Another week, another revelation......

Don’t see how Wigan will make him less plodding and improve him enough to attain below average passing skills.

I do think Wigan are getting over-giddy with their recent improvement. They seem to think they’re the 82 kangaroos and Peet is Wayne Bennett. Huddersfield would rather crowbar Naiqama out of retirement than sign King.

No that's Saints. Haven't they told the Wire fans that? They have let everybody else know how brilliant they are (when they don't have a few injuries of course)

Hope he remembers to take his passport with him. Space Cadet, good riddance.
