Good Luck to "H".
Clubb could be his immediate replacement.
Aged 26 and plenty of SL experience. He'll be wanting to win more than anyone, just what Waney likes!

Agree with this. Clubb looked great five years ago (I remember a length of the field interception try at the JJB - he obviously had pace) when making the England team but has played for a poor team since. Wane has spoken of his leadership potential and has obviously seen something that he likes in Clubb. Something that has eluded the rest of us. Thought he would really struggle to get a game at Wigan. I look forward to being proved wrong.

Now that we have lost Harrison Hanson and possibly Lauaki I'm sure the club will be looking for another forward as cover to the squad. Heard a strong rumour that they have made enquires about Elliot Whitehead at Catalans.
I don't know if he's not settled in France or is homesick but he would make a good signing, he's young with a lot of potential and has plenty Superleague experience.
Anyone know about this possibility?

Very much doubt it, we already have more than enough SL quality forwards

I don't buy into the view that the possibility of Harrison Hanson leaving would of been much surprise to Wigan - in fact I think they have been planning for it when they went out and bought Clubb and Hopkins.

There seems plenty of competition in the forwards as it is and I would not be surprised to see Lauaki stay.

Has Charnley ever been asked if he fancies a stint in union?

I'd be very suprised if both NRL and RU clubs hadn't at least made enquiries

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Dec 21, 2013 8:19 pm  

He does not have the game for Union, NRL though would be a possibility.

i'm surpised you think that jon. he's big, decent under the high ball, can tackle and can kick (he has good range if not accuracy from the ground, which will be fine for him to clear from his 22).
a decent winger should be able to convert in either code.

however - i'd rather him stay with us.
