Why is that? Have they forgotten they signed Miski?

The situation with Walmsley as far as I'm aware... that was the plan - sign him and loan him out.

That move fell through at the final stages and he has signed for Halifax permanently, as has Jouffet (even though Whitehaven said he is returning to France)

Wigan are close to securing another Super League player. (Not Miller, I'm not sure how that one is going at the moment)

I know Wigan have met with Briers a few times, I haven't however heard about Duffy, I hope to god he isn't in contention for the job.

Duffy, along with Briers, has been rumoured for a while. I believe the club has spoken with both of them.
I heard Danny Ward months ago but gone quiet now.

I believe the deal was he'd be loaned out to Newcastle for his first year which he had no interest in doing. I was told that was the deal he turned down (but not that the club was Wigan, but it makes sense with our links to Newcastle).

Super League clubs do have a habit of offering players from the Championship tiny contracts based on what they're earning as part time players which often works out as less than what they earn when you take into consideration their full time job.
