He doesn’t say it’s a signing but says there is some unbelievable news to come out of Wigan and it could be great news for the game. You’d imagine it would be recruitment based but it could be something else going off the very little he said. To say it could be good news for the game makes you think...

They both did ok, no more and no less in my opinion. What I would say is that there’s loads of room for improvement with both ‘if’ they want it enough. Mago needs to get himself in shape because a 10-15 minute impact player is a thing of the past. If he did that there’s undoubtedly plenty of ability...

There are more rumours that we are interested in one of Medlockes favourite props, Martin Taupau! What I can’t get my head round is, we’ve let a young Wigan 24 year old prop leave, Partington, then it’s rumoured about Mago who is 27, 28 in December a prop in his prime leaving for a championship sid...

Not so sure our squad doesn't stack up Field Bev King Wardle Marshy Cust Smith Byrne Powel Cooper Batty Faz Smithies Is as strong as most with probably the best back line potentially in SL. After the 13 you then have Havard Singo KPP Ellis Mago Thornley Isa Miski O'niel Shorrocks before you reach q...

We’ve certainly stripped some depth out of the squad and that’s fine if you then keep a really strong first 20 or so but Bateman looks a big spanner in that and is next to impossible to replace without stripping more depth out by paying up an overseas player. Something is off with how we manage our ...

The fact that people are discussing the possibility of Willie Isa in the starting line up at this stage of his career emphasises how important it is that we get a replacement for Bateman. Peet didn't pick Isa in the starting team for long periods of last season and he was often omitted from the 17 ...

There’s every chance Isa will be a starter next season as and when Bateman goes. We’ve no quota spots, so it’s difficult to see how we replace Bateman. It’ll be between Isa and KPP and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Isa got the nod (it certainly wouldn’t be my choice).

Timing looks to have done us little favours with the whole Bateman, Nicholson and McDonnell issues. We can’t have known Bateman wanted out at the time of trying to negotiate with Nicholson, surely? The same goes for the negotiations with McDonnell Had we done so then to up the offers would’ve been ...

As much as I agree even though I do think cooper has that edge to him I think the game is moving away from that kind of player when you look at how heavy suspensions were last season. Sadly I think the game is more focused on athletes than the aggressive kind of players fans love I still think you ...
