Is Ian thornley still at Wigan? A few whispers suggesting he might be replacing goulding,

Yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if a loan deal was sorted out to get him some match fitness. He's been injured for a long time.

DR for Thornley surely then he can be recalled immediately if we have an injured centre.
A loan deal and he's away 28 days min.

Thornley's played one game in 14 months, I think a loan deal until the end of the season would be best for everyone, particularly if HKR end up in the middle 8's. Gelling, Sarg and Joel can cover centres with Thornley coming back and pushing Sarg for the LC position in preseason (if he's still here).

Some conflicting rumours coming in that Hampshire is going to Saints rather than Wire, it's starting to get interesting

However much I like Ratchford as a player, we'd be mental to let Hampshire go.

Can't Ratchford play C? I think he'd be great there if Sarginson is leaving.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:30 pm  

I'd look at Luke Page the prop, pretty sure he won player of the year in the Queensland cup for the 2014 season. Also Keith Lulia was good for Bradford a couple of years ago and we might have a spot to fill at centre if Sarginson joins the kick and clap brigade.

Other than that I'm not sure, there are a few big names (Thaiday, Tupou, Maloney, Nightingale) but don't know how realistic any of those players would be.

Few players here are listed in their wrong position.

However unlikely players who have impressed:

Kurt Mann, Peter Mata'utia Blake Ferguson James Roberts Blake Ayshford-for centres.

Ben Hannant-prop.

Chris Heighington might attract interest with an English/duel passport.
