Thanks for the memories and he has been a hell of a player but not one I was hoping to see back. Hopefully however it was true we were interested as it would indicate we have a good chunk of cap available.

Suggest this may have been a back up plan if lockers didn't sign

Not disagreeing with your overall point, but I'd class Deacon & Gleeson as 'top signings' as both played big roles in our first season under Madge.

I agree with Gleeson, such a shame with him, one of the best centres we've had at Wigan in the past 10 years. Deacon was signed for a year then onto coaching, think he eventually did 2, wasn't signed for any other reason but as a transition.

nevertheless, I think one of the issues as discussed is recruitment as we've discussed.

If he's good enough for the best club team in the world he's good enough for us.

That rumour was on here a few days ago. I wonder if the WEP have just taken it from here or if there's a genuine link. Plays prop / 13 and he's only 20.

Phil Wilkinson seems pretty much on the ball. In twitter I get the feeling we're targeting a prop on top of signing Hamlin but we'll firstly need to make some room.

If no halfback is coming in then Tomkins must move to the halves and Tommy to hooker or else we'll just keep coming up with the same performances.

A project signing again. If he's good he'll be back in Australia in under 3 years.

No problem with that at all. Kibula, Partington, Barnes to come through.

Jack Wells well on his way.
btw Hamlin won't count on the quota.
