It just came from a reliable source, last night.

Is this due to Hill leaving or another player leaving?

Could be an astute signing.

Will allow Bailey up into the 2nd row full time.

One more signing to come by all accounts - if it is Terry Newton then I will be over the moon with close season recruitment

I don’t have any problem with potentially short term signing (has it mentioned how long the deal is anywhere?).

Sounds decent by all accounts and reliable without bleeding us financially dry. Best of all it FINALLY looks like we have a year where we don’t have to release all out up and coming players to get some depth in the squad! Woo hoo!!!

Good luck George!!!

not to put a dampner on things just emailed my mate who lives in Aus said he is poo and its a big mistake. didnt realise he was 29 are we sure he is not just coming for the payday ??

As for newton that would be fantastic !!

Who knows could be Roby if Stains don't secure him.


I'm happy with this signing. Looking forward to next season and seeing some faces staying..makes a change.

I know he's good defensively, but I just worry about his attacking play.

We haven't seen a good attacking centre at Wigan for a good few years.

Doesn’t look like he’s on a big contract. Those days thankfully seem to have gone!

Bring back gene miles

I think he will go ok for us and looking forward to see how he goes on

Let's wait and see.

Solid defender, quite quick with a very good fend. But he certainly wouldn't get into any of the top teams in SL although that has to be expected with the financial difficulties we have.

The contract is for 2 years which possibly could be 1 year too many. But I'm guessing he needed at least that length of contract for him to agree to the deal. He's centre/wing so he will at least have utility value now and in the future.
