i want us 2 sign martin gleeson and keith senior

WHY would you wish that on us??

He's only the best British centre we've produced in the Super League era...

He was, once. He'll be 31 by next season, too old IMO.

Yeaman of Hull, and that young black centre who plays like a young Ellery Hanley that Wakey signed from t'Bulls would give us earth shattering possibilities in the middle of the field.Oh yes and Luke McAllister from the All Blacks as our standoff when Barrett goes, but that will have to wait until after the rah rahs 2007 World Cup.

[BUZZ337]

Martin Gleeson, Danny Sculthorpe ,Paul Deacon.

Get shot of Tickle and DV.

Tickle lost my respect with the comments he made about giving a fan a slap whilst getting shedded in the boozer.GET HIM OUT!

COME ON WIGAN!

[michael inch stoke]

Dobson should be the number one priority. I,d also like to see danny sculthorpe back & a promising young utility back like karl pryce

That just about says it! He's past his best i'd rather have players who will grow with the club not grow old with the club. There are plenty of young centres about, two at wigan, yeaman, gleesons youngish....be stupid to let them go to waste to aid someones retirement! IMO

You mean Ryan Atkins?

Yes, his name came to me as if in a dream last night.
A long shot but one which might pay off and he should not cost us much in the meantime.

Welcome back MrsC. I thought you had deserted us like MrsLam has. I hope that you have not been in OZ trying to persuade your man to come back to us.

Wouldnt give you the pleasure of having something to complain about I've been around, just quiet!

Would welcome any player that the messiah wants he has earned our respect since he arrived.
Nobody knows what is in the messiah mind for players that he wants, and where he wants them to play. We can have all our wish list, leave it to the Great Escape Artist

[100% Warrior]

The players we know who are leaving / retiring are:

Dallas, Logan, Dobson, Godwin, Radlinski

amongst those rumoured to be leaving are:

Sculthorpe, Tickle, Vaealiki, Melling, Wilkes

I'd love to see Dobson retained somehow, but unfortunately that looks a non-starter. Also, Maurice was quoted in this weeks Observer as saying there's an agreement in place for Sculthorpe to move to Cas if they remain in Super League.

Possible signings that would interest me are:

Martin Gleeson (Wigan born, will give 100%)
Ryan Atkins (thought he looked very lively when he played for Wakey at JJB recently)
Kirk Yeaman and
Chris Beattie & Justin Murphy (certainly knows where the tryline is) from Les Cats.

Yeah, I know we probably can't have them all due to the overseas quota. We certainly need to replace Dobson though, Leulaui doesn't really interest me as all I can think of is a possible deja vu of Moran.

A must though is to get Ashton signed up on a long term contract, no more mistakes of letting talented youngsters leave the club.
