If we had signed any of them I would be feeling a little 'meh'. We have Walker so don't need Leeming the other two fall in the 'project' signing for me. Surely Wigan have better coming through their own youth system? Chan I haven't seen enough of to comment on though to be fair.

Mate, you do know Daryl Clark has signed for Saints and we've just signed Brad Dwyer as his replacement.

Careful what you wish for. We may end up not changing the issues with the team, but with an even whizzier whizzy rascal.

By the time the club win anything Old Wizzy could be delivering the match ball on a mobility scooter.

Not commenting on our own recruitment until I see all the players we are bringing in, of course Clark out Dwyer in is terrible if this was our only transfer business for 2024 - but that isn't the case.

On Clark going, I've already commented on it while it would be nice to keep him on, it's likely Walker was expecting to be first choice 9 to stay and the club have decided it wasn't a good use of cap space to pay for Clark as well - I can understand that call, even if it's disappointing to see Clark move on. Dwyer for Clark is obviously not a fair comparison, Clark is moving to Saints to be no.1 hooker, we are bringing Dwyer in to spell Walker when needed. I'm not exactly pleased we are signing Dwyer, but then I wasn't lauding some average signings from Wigan as evidence of our failings. We have plenty of cap space to use and our priorities are prop, back row and centre, Dwyer is a squad filler.
