I have also heard that Hardaker has signed.

With the rotation system that Wane did last season to great effect i am looking forward to seeing more of Hampshire. Really hope he gets his chance this season to play more. Best rugby brain on a young player i have seen in a long time

I don't think moving Smith around would be the best thing to do as he still has a lot of improvement in him as a scrum half. I'd sooner see Hampshire used in place of Green especially because Green seems to be keen on a move back to the NRL.

Hardaker is playing for Leeds tomorrow so I can't see it being true that people have heard that he has signed. Maybe talks are in place but he wouldn't be playing for Leeds if he had already signed for Wigan. Would be a decent signing but I'm not convinced about him in the fullback position. Obviously he wouldn't be playing fullback this year with Bowen in place.

Hardacre would be a great acquisition for us but as said above, he's not only playing for Leeds today, he's named as captain for the day! Hope it comes off but the signs suggest otherwise!

Would be a Keith Senior type signing from when he left Sheffield and joined Leeds instead of us. He could have the centre shirt for the rest if his career and go on to be a club legend. Sadly I doubt he will be going anywhere in the near future. I hope I am wrong, but I expect when he leaves Leeds it will be to the NRL.

Might not be anything in it but i heard a whisper were looking a forward from huddersfield. Could be a sign lauaki and powell are on their way out.

I would like Larne Patrick at Wigan. He may not be the biggest but he is very mobile and elusive for a forward and has a great work ethic.

He would be a great signing, as I recall we were after him a few years ago. Hopefully there's something in it.
