Stay at Salford, plau Salford would be daft to let go, biggest talent in there team including Myler!!

Yes, he weren't good enough first time and now he is.

The lad would cartwheel here if we offered him a contract.

Salford or Wigan hmmmmmm?

Andy Gregory did. Andy Platt did. Joe Lydon did. Ged Byrne did.

What's your point again?

And a reason as too why? would you want to come here?

Apart from the best factilies, big crowds, blah blah!

As the standings show, no better off being here then there at the mo!

Trust me it won't happen

I must admit I cant see Ratchford coming to Wigan, nothing to do whether he would or wouldn't want to, but rather with Myler leaving and supposedly Turner is as well, I cant see Salford letting all three go, not without a mighty fight anyway.

I've mentioned this previously but the props are probably going to have to come from overseas, but any other positions that the club feel they need to recruit for, I hope they go British and young, whether that's players off contract or ones who we'll have to pay a transfer fee to get, that way hopefully signings wont be a quick fox but will be more about building a team.

When Lydon and Gregory went to Widnes, they both said they had no interest whatsoever in coming to Wigan. It was a nothing club going nowhere. Two years down the line, all that had radically changed.

Never say never. Professional sportsmen don't.

PS: He'd be a lot better off at Wigan than Salford. Crowds, money, a local press that hero-worships you, having a proper stadium etc, they count for something, you know.

I disagree. One thing about Steff he understands the game in every sense of the word. If he good enough for Wigan? In my opinion no, but he is a good player.

Personally would rather play Tomkins at 7 and Turner at 6 if we were looking at Salford players.

My understanding is that Turner was being lined up by Hull FC, however that's now old news because since then they have signed Long and Tansey, and may no longer have plans to sign him, which may leave the door open for us, as we were linked with him in the MEN very recently.

What is Turners position?

I know he's played the vast majority of this season at centre for Salford but i've seen him in the backrow before but don't recall him at 6.

He could be our new Sam Panapa by the sounds of him
