Agree with this. I would love to see a settled halfback partnership of Myler and Tomkins.

I know we made a bid for him shortly after he signed for Salford, not sure when his contract is up but the lads is a classy midfield general and the thought of a settled partnership for the club in the halves for the next decade would in my opinion be outstanding for Wigan RLFC and our international team.

Talented lad I agree but we need some experience in the squad, a leader, some direction in attack and a player with a rugby league brain.

Matt Orford would be ideal.

we have poeple in the forwards for that (locky?), no need to sign another foreigner

Is this the 'signings/rumours' thread, or the 'dream something up' thread?

Also it tickles me that the people saying e should push British talent on other threads are those demanding NRL signings on this one.

Orford will be 33 next season..we need to get tomkins a partner that will be around for years..myler would also be my pick

I dont think you quite get it, anyone who says we shouldnt sign Lockyer clearly has a screw loose. He would nothing but improve Tomkins development and improve the team ten fold.
