Orr 4 years at wigan

[Warrior Wills]

I have just heard from a very reliable source that Danny Orr is about to sign a 4 year contract. This would make Orr one of the bid earners at Wigan.

What a fantastic signing!

This goes against what Chairman Mo has said in recent weeks. He's totally convinced Luke Robinson and Kevin Brown will be GB halfbacks in the next few years and recently denied saying that Orr would be signed as he would not put anything in the way of these two lads' development. He was equally bemused recently when Robinson was not selected for the representative squads.

If Orr signs for 4 years it's not going to be good for Maurice's stated long-term plans for the kids. Maybe one or two years, I'd be very surprised if it was 4.

There was an article in the Daily Express saying that Wigan were favourites over Hull in the chase for Orr.
Also implied he was looking for a four year contract.

Agree totally but of you look at places like Sporting Life he is now saying we are always interested in quality players!

To cut a long story short the theory goes if Lam leaves we need Orr for experience.

My preference is lam for another year and then hand it over to the kids and see what happens. Ml has said he does not want to hinder their development so how this signing fits on with that I don't know

Maybe one or two years, I'd be very surprised if it was 4.

But of the competiton (Hull) are offering four then Wigan will have to as well or they won't get him

Strong rumours at last nights match that Danny Orr has chosen to sign for Wigan.

IMO this is good business by Wigan as Danny wouldn't cost a transfer fee due to being out of contract.

It's about time we had a settled player in the stand off role, it's no wonder we haven't been that successful when we keep chopping and changing such an important role.

Thats a good point, I can't think of a time since the start of super league when wigan have had the same half back combination for two consecutive seasons.

I've heard that stand off is drawn out of a hat before the match by the old Golden Gamble guy!!! I think it is Raper's turn next week and the week after we are offering it to Eddie or Stevo.....
If we get Danny Orr then the Golden Gamble man will be redundant!!!!!!

They are not rumours anymore!Danny Orr has signed a four year contract and will join the Warriors next season!!!

I think that this is an excellent signing think he is a quality player and with a better quality of player around him think he will not only cement himself in the 6 jersey for Wigan but also for G.B. as well. Dont think it is too much of a concern for Brown as he looks comfortable in the centre position although hios defence needs to improve but this will come as he matures, very good alround signing.He will give us the continuity that we require in the troublesome number 6 position pluss it doesnt take up a spot on the quota. Think this may also mean that Nick Graham may be staying.

danny orr is one of the best sighnings for wigan in a while this will mean that we will have a permanent number 6 rather than switchin evry year this could bring great things to the club

HOPE IT DOES!!!!!!!!!
