Re: Wigan Warriors’ Kai Pearce-Paul reportedly in for sensational swap deal

I think it was inevitable he’d go just hope Wigan come out of it with the best deal possible I have no problem with him going. He left London to join us and now wants to move on again to an Aussie side. I just do not appreciate the "tapping up" of contracted players - that stinks and shou...

Re: Wigan Warriors’ Kai Pearce-Paul reportedly in for sensational swap deal

This is were the Isa and Miski deals could come back to haunt us, Said the same when the extent of Isa's deal was announced. I for one never doubted his effort or commitment or even how thoroughly nice he is off the field. For a position we have plenty of cover for we give a 2 year deal to someone ...

Re: Mike Cooper

Back on topic. The wolves fans are not happy about this IF you presented a list of Warrington Wolves’ off-contract players to a group of supporters and asked them who they wished to retain, there would be one name at the top of almost every list. However, it looks like those clamouring for Mike Coop...

Re: Partington

I'm going to "throw" this out there - because - you know - it's the number one excuse why we cannot sign so and so We are in a salary capped sport and unless the rules change to allow the players wages for those who came through the ranks to be either exempt or dramatically reduced, we fac...

Probably because we have been so "welcoming" to the Aussie interest and probably even courted it with the intention of re-recruiting upon their return

Re: Ratchford / Charnley

We have Miski on our overseas quota that cannot get a wing spot. Why should the club waste salary cap on another winger? Club needs to make sure its spine is right and then look at its centres - who (if rumours are correct) see KPP/Bibby leave and with Zak already gone SERIOUSLY requires looking at ...

Re: Thomas Mikaele - Wire

As well as dudson apparently. Also hearing they’ve expressed an interest in partington. Can’t be likely to happen with him not out of contract tho Wigan open to letting Partington go at the end of next season (unless obviously he improves massively this year) However, he wont be allowed to leave th...

Definitely interested (depending on who departs).
He's a big lump of a lad too. Six foot four and over 17 stone is one helluva prop!

Re: Paul Vaughan

I am pleased someone mentioned Craig Smith - he was rock hard, a proper old school prop. Vaughan would be a great signing, he is top top class. I assume we will be losing French, Leuluai and Isa, so assume that leaves us with quota space for him... Honestly, one more massive unit and this squad wou...

Re: Ratchford / Charnley

Field or French at FB, so we sign a 34 year old 3rd choice FB? Isn't a centre and isn't needed or a long-term future option at standoff! Absolute madness if we sign him, what would we be paying for? Charnley was superb at Wigan and is still a good winger! The only issue is (presuming Field remains ...
