Just out of interest - how are moves for players like Bevan French even being considered given the financial difficulties Adam Pearson have reported?

Extending Isa's contract at all was a bit daft for me although I could understand if the club felt we were lacking a bit in leadership. Im not sure why Miski has been written off by a few fans - he looks like he has potential to me and played well in his last couple of first team games (lacking in a yard of pace admittedly). Leuluai will likely free up a quota spot if he leaves.

For me, the issue with Miski is simply that hes on quota rather than an issue with ability

100%

He looks decent enough but doesn’t stand out as having star potential, so basically he looks a guy you’d be more than happy to have if he was English or non quota but as a quota player, it feels a bit like you’re using a spot up that you would be better leaving free.

I don't things are as bad as Pearson makes out, he likes to do this now and again to rally the fans.

We have some expensive (and unde performing) players out if contract including Reynolds, Shaul and Gale, think we would get French and Truman will their money and still have some money spare.

Tommy isn’t counted on the quota.

I’ve nothing against Miski but I’m of the opinion if you are signing quota players they have to be in your 17 most weeks.

He isn’t and doesn’t look likely to be unless we pick up injuries so he is for me given his quota status not a good signing.

That's more or less my take on things.

Brad Fash, Is there a rumour about him coming to us or have I dreamt it?

Not one I’ve heard.

He’s exactly the type of player we don’t need, I rate him but we have plenty workhorses in the forwards, don’t need another.

I'd be amazed, under contract, good workhorse, but amazed if Wigan were interested.

Probably dreamt it, like you did Patrick Ah Van
