Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

I think Miski could be an astute signing. Scores quite a bit, young enough to get decent improvement out of him. Should cost little enough that we wouldn't mind him not playing every week.

Don't talk sense Grimmy lad. He plays for London so he's not good enough for Wigan. We should be after Brian To'o or Josh Addo Carr.

We have been linked with Solomona Kata too….but that doesn’t get mentioned.

Can’t remember if it was last year or year before we were linked to Christian Welch. It was just before he signed for Melbourne.

There was a bit of a theme on here of who? He’s injured…and when he signed for Melbourne “bullet dodged”.

Probably the best prop in the world.

The knee jerk reaction as soon as any name is mentioned is ridiculous.

Absolutely judge our recruitment when they are recruited and the squad for 2022 is finalised before then slamming our recruitment for next year just simply doesn’t make any sense.


Again…

It is a RUMOURS thread.

People are entitled to talk about rumours and give their opinions all they want.

And no, we haven’t been linked with Kata. That’s why no one is talking about it.

People are talking about players we’re have credible links to, and they are fully entitled to.

Yeah but sadly all of those names have been linked to us from RL journos too. Except Richardson, I’ve not seen that.

Does anyone know what all this was about earlier?

I missed Sky Sports Action, was Jenna on the wind up cause I've looked all over twitter/social media and seen absolutely nothing (with regards to the BIG news).

Absolutely agree…but then going on to slate the club because the media links us with players?

That’s the bit that makes no sense.

Very Brian Carney type winger.

Powerful with a decent bit of speed and good step.

Makes good yards after contact.

He’s a very modern SL style winger.


Having watched his highlights reel on YT I thought pretty much the same thing. I just wanted to judge his size and speed of which he seems to have both. Looks like a pretty handy player to me.

Correct, he isn’t a marquee player so why the hell are we being linked with him?!

It’s a shambles! Lenagan out!!

Out squad for 2022 is a shambles!

Radlinski out!

That’s not what I said though is it? I’ve never once called for IL to go, nor have I either ever called for KR to go. So your better getting your facts straight.

I said we’re being linked with players that are dross and if you try and describe Thornley, Gelling and Richardson as anything else you’re deluded. We’re also being linked with players we don’t need, partly because they’re dross but primarily because we need bloody props.

I don’t expect us to be signing marquee players left right and centre. Never once insinuated that either but you seem happy with signing (or being linked to) sub standard players - why? Explain the necessity for Richardson? Gelling? Thornley? Mason? The latter being a prop who is no better than what we have even if he had had a few good games. The first 3 would be a huge step back. You might be happy signing other SL clubs (and our own) rejects but I’m not.

We’ve a sub standard coach, a quality squad (minus a good prop or 2) which is being decimated and replaced with sub standard players (or at least rumoured to be). Which part of that is the good bit?

And as above; this is a rumours thread. I’m entitled to give my opinion on rumours .

The big news was about us signing the London winger…

Williams news was something to be announced on Monday but he may not necessarily play for that club this season.
