Re: Mago

So Mago is looking for a 2 year deal at Cas. Cas have spoken to Wigan about it and the coaches have discussed the move. Peet had basically said Mago isn’t the style of Prop Wigan like however he could do a job at Cas if they are wanting impact. Cas are nervous about giving him a 2 year deal and wan...

Re: Brenko Lee

Didn’t we need to bring Tomkins in at the time due to the injuries also played in a different position. Zach is down as a FB and Centre, he’s not getting in over French or Fields at FB. So that leaves Centres which we have two of. Up until recently King has been good and has made this weeks squad s...

Re: Brenko Lee

When does Zach Eckersley come into consideration? I’m not sure he’s filled out enough yet to get first team rugby at SL. I’d like Wigan to give him another year and maybe get him in a SL side see how he matches up. All I’ve heard about this Lee chap doesn’t sound good. Especially the part about the...

Re: Options for next year

I’ve just been speaking to someone fairly close to the deal, hearing there could be a chance of Matt Whitley coming back over and coming to us. Signed a 2 year contract last year so it would mean either we pay a fee (which I’m not sure we should be doing for a player like him) or Catalans are willi...

Re: Potential swap

I’d expect with the injury to Cooper and the comments from Trinity that Tanginoa isn’t available that this is now dead in the water, if it ever was in the water that is. I don’t see us wanting to swap a prop for a secondrow with Cooper expected to be out for the time he is and beyond Mago having to ...

Potential swap

Pure speculation on my part however Michael Carter mentioned in an interview yesterday Trinity are searching for a middle and another unpopular (with the fans) swap deal was likely, after the recent deal that saw Dagger and Hall swap clubs. The only player really coveted by clubs at Trinity is Tangi...

Re: New Prop

Total speculation on my part however I believe Tanginoa is being used as a swap deal for a middle forward by Wakefield.

Trinity were keen on Mago.

We need a secondrow.

Possibility it could be us in the mix.

Wire known admirers of Tanginoa too.

As I said total speculation.

You've rarely steered us wrong in the past DD

Scouts generally look at youth players from 13 up.

They don’t really get involved in the recruitment of senior players.
