Recruitment?

[morley pie eater]

Have any of those vastly improved the team?

Is Miski as good as Pat Richards?
Is Thornley as good as George Carmont?
Is Patrick Mago as good Craig Smith?
Is Thingy Ellis as good as Quentin Pongia?

Those are the type of standard of players we should be trying to sign

If you replaced all our players with the best Aussie/New Zealander of all time, wouldn't you have problems with the overseas quota? Not to mention the salary cap. It might be worth signing Ken Gee or Jim Sullivan though - I'll check if they're available . . .

They don't have to be Aussies, some Fijians would be nice as well

On tonight's showing, I'd be more than happy with Tim Lafai.

Interesting this. Terms not offered to Bibby? The story I'm hearing is Huddersfield have upped his wages by a fair bit. Wonder if we have got someone lined up at left centre.

Reading the comments to the article terms not offered meaning the player is leaving so it includes players like bibby who have just been offered a better deal

Unless they have some super duper centre coming I’m gutted that Bibby has not been offered a contract & is leaving for fecking Huddersfield

We might even need 2 with the way things are going. If kpp leaves that’s 3 gone in one season. Thornley has had his injuries problems already this year. Frustrating when u watch Salford tonight and they have 3 top quality centres. I’d take any of them

But no other SL club would touch Bibby... I've seen it on here multiple times.

We need to move on, every player has their price. I would be looking at an overseas centre plus Cam Scott at Hull.

I think the wording of the off contract list might be misleading. I don't think the club just decided he wasn't going to be re-signed. He'll either have been offered a contract that he turned down, or Huddersfield made an offer very quickly which Wigan were never going to match.

It's all about value though. If Huddersfield offered a huge pay increase it would be madness for Wigan to match it if it was way out of step with what other similar players are getting paid.

We need to be careful with the sheer amount of English players we seem to lose because how do you replace them? Hardaker gone, Bibby going and maybe KPP as well. We’ve no quota spots, so the management of the squad looks iffy again. There is a lack of available English talent of the quality you’d want, so you end up with an inexperienced squad, players who are sub standard or a quota that is chocked full.

KPP surely has to be retained for 2023 given he’s under contract and it’s nigh on impossible to bring a replacement of that quality in, for a similar wage. He did a decent job at centre, so you’d have him, Thornley and Halsall left, meaning you can target just one recruit in that area. He goes and I think we need two.

With recruiting players…I’ve never understood why a lot of these hard running, hard to stop centres and forwards and we miss out on these, Mago, huge man who has no real impact, centres that are almost past their sell by date, I’d offer Amy Hardcastle a contract for centre than our current ones at the moment?

Mago, takes 2 or 3 (sometimes 4) opposition players to stop him......what more do you want from a prop
