Ward is no better than O'Carroll or Prescott and those to are still developing. I wouldn't mind another forward coming to Wigan if they were going to make a real impact but Ward does not fit that category.

Pretty much my view. We need a third experienced prop but it has to be a good one like Logan was. Ward offers nothing over Prescott and O'Carroll IMO so it would be a waste of a 20/25 space and would not increase the quality of the side.

I understand that Nobby is an admirer of ward and thinks he can do a job.

Ebrytime I hear a player is getting released that Wigan are interested. It's becoming a pain the ar*e.

I read today to cheer you all up that Harlequins are the one's showing the most interest. Our name is there to bump up his salary negotiations with them.

if that's the case then lenegan is doing us a good bit of business already by not getting him and offloaing him to his (im presuming) former quinns team :lol:

I don't see the problem with signing Ward, as long as it's on a sensible contract. He is more than capable. We could sign sign a world class prop instead, pay him the earth and be disapointed for 4 years.

Got a point. Ward was a good player it depends if his attitude is good.

Weve signed so called class players only to be disapointed. But we still need quality players.

If he is more than capable, then why would his own club that has just finished at the a**e end of super league not offer him a contract of any kind ?

Cap.

Weve had to let good players go as we got close to going over the cap a few years ago.
