Flower had problems all over his body. It was the right decision to let him go. Great player on his day but too injury prone.

The game has changed with the 6 again and props of his style could struggle. They'd struggle even more with a busted knee. In fact they might not play much at all.
I know it's a rumour but I hope there's no truth in this one.

We re-signed Clubb before six again, the new prop will have to fit in with the higher speed and intensity of the game as it is.

He was no good under the previous rules.

Agreed. Absolutely awful. So slow, immobile, just a big lump.

won't tell me a name but said "People will be genuinely buzzing about it"

Going off Luke Thompsons Instagram it is not him.... I do know we were looking at Watts/Mulhern, but doubt its Watts, could possibly be Mulhern.

Anyone else heard anything?
I have heard that we are trying to get rid of george burgess to salford and are signing Fifita from wakey

Think this is pretty much dead bullshit if Wigan Today is to be believed?

I agree, we must think that we can get Burgess fit.
