This is how i see this one! I have been told by a good source involved in the recruitment of players at Wigan, that Richrad's will be paid up at the end of the season as he wants to go back. That leaves us with a wing problem next season as we will also have no Dallas! Withers has made himslef available so the club thinks the easy option will be to put Ashton on the wing and the quick fix solution is Withers at full-back. Not the initial plan, but a lot easier than trying to source a winger.
With regards to Millard, i think that Godwin is signed sealed and delivered to Hull next year, Newton is staying at Bradford, so Millard will serve a purpose as our second Hooker off the bench!
It's not what everyone would have wanted i feel! I think that Wigan were confident that Newton would be here next season so let Godwin go to Hull! I also feel that they thought Richards would naturally fit into the wing spot vacated by Dallas!

Good argument but not sure about the Richards bit. With Dallas out he might come into a team on the up and have a stormer thus changing his mind (if your theory is correct)

I hope your right about this one! I for one think Richard's has a lot more to prove to himself at Wigan! I still feel he has the potential. Let's not forget that he was our leading try scorer, and if i'm not mistaken might still be! I looked at his record in Australia and that was also good. It's been his commitment and defensive lapses which have let him down. I certainly want him here next season, so we don't have to go for Withers.

If Richards goes back to OZ it will release a lot of money in the salary cap meaning that you could sign a better squad .Withers would be a stop gap player for a season with Ashton playing on the wing.Scully coming back and if what is said as true Wagga to Hull. Millard for hooker.More of a experienced side.

To Martin Taylor, spoke to Wagga at the last riversiders, when asked about Hull, was not talking to Hull nor does he want to . when I spoke to him later said he did not want to leave as he was enjoying his time here and wants to stay
