Despite having recently short changed Wigan RU there are plans in the pipeline that will see us brought closer.

Awaits Wigan/Leeds Andy to come on and slate you for comitting the cardinal "I know something you lot don't know but I'm not telling" sin.

Grim list.

Scratch Coley from that list as he won't be available for anyone else next season.

Indeed. I literally wouldnt take any of those other than the ones that are already at Wigan. Im sure Marsh is already contracted anyway.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:44 pm  

You'd struggle to make a really strong, competitive team out of those players. Too many sides in Super League.

He is - there are a few inaccuracies in the list, but you get the jist. Grim market to be dealing with.

The only players I'd enquire about are Leon Pryce (move into the halves with Finch), Ryan Bailey, Ray Cashmere and Michael Korkidas (all would make good fifth choice props).

Brett Ferres is a decent player. If Joel is staying in the centres then he could be a useful addition.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:51 pm  

You're right, there are several mistakes. Cashmere is retiring and most of the Crusaders players are fixed up.

Error prone apparently, but that can be fixed. Could be a useful addition. I remember when he was at Bradford and he had a lot of hype surrounding him, but he never quite lived up to it.

Just the old 'blessed with second rowers' argument will possibly put that one to bet. I really like the look of Jack Hughes. Impressed me when he's been given the chance.
