It's not a modern Wigan signing i.e he's too told and, as such, we won't even consider him.

Shame really as we've seen plenty of benefit from guys like Deacon, Withers and Mcavoy. Now I'm not saying the last two were great, but they steadied the ship when we needed an injection of experience. Hill would do that and more and it's what we need.

I pretty much can get on side with this post but I can’t agree with Thornley/Miski as being the answer; two championship standard players? Nah.

I may be being harsh on Miski. In better times with better prospects I’d back his signing to be honest - my own hypocrisy isn’t lost on me - but with the way we’re looking, the assumed lack of proper squad investment and lack of competent coaches it’s hard to get on board with his and Thornley’s signing.

Mike McMeeken was from London Broncos when Castleford got him he turned out to be very good.

Yeah, it was kinda the same with Burgess last year. We could all see he was done, but what if we could have got him back to fitness.

Can't help but think we massively missed out when we didn't get Mullhearn. He's not set the world alight, but he's better than what we have. You stick him next to Havard and another similar signing and all of a sudden the prop position isn't a massive issue. It wouldn't be as strong as others, but it's solid enough to let our other strengths (HB, 2nd row) be effective.



Mulhern has been very very good for us, whilst he's not international class at the moment, he's definitely what we needed in terms of a bench prop to do good minutes and take the pressure of hill and cooper, he adds some punch going forward, and finds the floor well. He's been a good acquisition.

Butler looks a little way off, however had a very good game v leigh the other night

Hill can’t be that expensive surely? A Wigan lad wanting to finish his career with us would’ve got it over the line.

Sounds like Wire offered him a deal, as well as HKR and Huddersfield, so that would drive it up a bit. I couldn’t see it being a fortune but on the flip side, I don’t think he’ll be on a low wage. I wonder with his affiliation with Wire and Leigh, if he’d have been that keen to come hear anyway, especially if he could get better money elsewhere. Guess we’ll never know but it feels like a chance missed to really help fix the prop issue for a couple of years.

Can you point me towards where you are getting this info from? Is it available on the internet?

Is the 20m run in to the line for his try included in Clark's figures?
