Re: 3 players to join?

Unless the Bulls have formed the "keep Wigan up" society I don't see why they would help us out.

They fought like hell to stop Noble going - so I don't think that it is likely that they will let 3 senior players leave with him.

If Bradford are so keen to offload players why didn't they do it when we were searching the lower leagues for players? They could have asked top dollar - Millward was fighting to survive and would have probably paid it out of his own pocket!

Unless Higham is particularly unhappy at the departure of his bessie mate then it is unlikley that he is going to leave and clearly we don't need 3 hookers - so I don't think that Terry will leave the Bulls after one game.

Aside from RLFans has anybody got a remotely reliable source that Noble is bringing players with him - or is this all just optimistic speculation?

The guy who told me said it was on the message the the Wigan Warriors text message sent him when he got the message Noble had signed, i could of mis-heard him but im pretty sure thats what he said, Bradford are in finacial trouble and you say why would we want 3 hookers well the same can be said for Bradford so i think newton is a possiblity and maybe godwin or highman move down and help the struggling academy side

We can't justify 3 hookers in our 20/20 quota. There are other positions where we would be better served trying to bring players in.

fair enough, what you are saying is they won't give us both players and coach. the line has to be drawn somewhere.

though bradford would be foolish to not let at least one player go. have you heard how much debt they are in! and it's been reported that the debt will continue next season to. they are having problems with the salary cap and they need to do something about it. this could result in them going into extinction.

Cas have been sniffing around Moran, if he agrees to it he could move their i mean come on they're doing better than us. Then Higham can play at 7 with Wagga coming on for Newton like last year. So thats one more place. If Scullys on a season long no call back loan should he really be included on our 20/20???

3 places there???

I have always thought that godwin would make a good half back, i think he is fantastic player but i must admit i do prefer hookers to a bit larger like Newton

but you have seen how good he is at hooker, coming off the bench. even when he starts, you know he is on the field. why would you move him from his preffered position when he has been playing so good there? orr is one of the only players trying and actually trying to communicate with the players. higham was good at scrum half agaisnt saints and we know that newton and godwin work well together.
