Shaun Wane has tried to sign him 3 times for Wigan before and has been turned down each time.

Would be a great signing if 4th time lucky. Can’t see it this season


Would it?

I don’t really get that logic to be honest.

Don’t get me wrong he has been a fine player but firstly looking at our current squad, where does he fit in?

Secondly he is 33.

Cracking lad and cracking player but not one we should be targeting.

I do hope when they hold the Ratchford game they open the away supporters end.
They didn't for Briers testimonial and we stood along the side. Far too crowded a very long way from "safe standing".

Come January there will be a good following from Wigan as it will have been months since we've seen a game due to the World Cup being postponed. Their away end needs to be opened.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Heard a rumour that Radlinski is off with the return of Wane overseeing the main stuff. Hope its true.

Why should he be off when he is a Director and as for the rumour that he is not happy with Wane overseeing what you term is the 'main stuff'', how can that be said, when Wane has been seen with both himself and Lenagan on cordial terms?

More than likely, he has agreed with Lenagan that a return of Wane was neccessary to get supporters confidence back into the club, especially with appointing a Head Coach who is not well known to many supporters.

Shrewed move in my opinion!

I think you've read that wrong or I've typed it wrong.

Wane is coming back and will be running a lot of things that Rads used to, whether Rads has orchestrated this I don't know but either way I've heard he's either stepping down or buggering off. I'd prefer him to remain at the club in some role but he has been overpromoted in my books and him being secretive about stuff hasn't done him any favours, nor has his recruitment record (last year we have 3 very good fullbacks, 1 centre (injured) and only no wingers for the start of the season plus a light back row and 3 props who were unfit and past it).

I suspect Rads will become Chief Executive. I think his title is Executive Director which amounts to the same.

He may be only stepping down where the signing of players is concerned as a result of the criticism that he and IL have been getting about the quality of some of the signings that have been made in the last three seasons or so since Wane resigned as Head Coach.

Hence, the return of Wane to no doubt advise the coaching staff on signings from outside the club and promotions from the Academy.

I think you will find that KR will still be involved in the general running of the club in his role of Executive Director.

Can't see this being true, unless KR has external business interests elsewhere and the decision is his. From what I've seen he's very well respected throughout the sport and has a good relationship with senior management at other clubs. I've dealt with him personally and he's a cracking bloke, the game needs more of him (Kevin Sinfield seems to be following a similar path).

Leeds are looking very strong next year with the signing of David Fusitu'a, along with Austin, Sezer and Bentley.

We have the 5th best 2022 squad on paper currently. Not a dig at Wigan - just an honest view. The new coaching team hopefully will bring improvements and more entertainment but they won't be able to work miracles.
