Surprised Shorrocks has lasted so long. Fair to say neither would be guaranteed 21 squad selections never mind starting 17.
Been stealing a living hasn’t he. Surely he’s had options to leave and progress his career? Wonder why he’s opted to stay so long? Can’t have been on the best contract because he never really looked like he was going to make it as a first team regular.

I get the feeling we are gonna be bringing a couple of bodies in real soon
No more signings according to Rads. No reserves and no duel reg either so cutting the playing rosta and wage bill as no where for the players to play next year.
With swords or pistols?

We have to cut the playing squad and players who are never going to be of a standard expected at Wigan have to go, shame but this is a business.
On that note, can we not get shut of George Burgess, surely some team wants a one legged player

Shame, both have had good games for us but we can't keep them all (it would be wrong to anyway).
I may be wrong but the reintroduction of the reserves may have caused a number of clubs to keep hold of fringe players who could have moved on. Warrington took on a number of such players just for the reserves.

Hopefully when the economy recovers, whenever that will be, a reserve team can be introduced again.

A couple of good signings for Newcastle. Neither will let them down. It is beginning to look like they will be renaming part of Newcastle Little Wigan though.
