If so they have a very strong pack next season as Cooper is coming back from the NRL to play for them.
He hasn't, but he will. If Wire get the same amount of injuries we have had this year they won't have a pack at all. Their pack needed major surgery, Wigan dominated their six twice in the past few weeks.

Wigan dominated their pack because it had started to rely too much on Sims and Hill, who has played too many minutes/games this year to stay effective as they needed to be. Crosby and Cooper will mean they don't need to run Hill into the ground all year.

Hill is a class player but they did seem to be running him into the ground he looked shattered in the grand final.
Any further nwes on Dominic going or has it gone quiet?

Apparently wire are signing Savelio from saints too
Either it is a major squad restructure or they are on a massive recruitment programme and bugger the cap

So that's 4 out of the 17 last week gone. This one will really take the edge off last week's win. Will there be more?

I like Dom think he's solid and I like that he's a bit of a nark at times too.
But with Flower, FPN, Clubb, Sutton and Tautai already here we're well set plus navarette coming in Prop is somewhere we can unload a couple. (I'm assuming Mossop is off too).
It comes down to the cap, Navarette will I assume be on a lot less than Dom so we free up cap space but remain strong.
I did see IL say our 2017 recruitment was nearly done, I'm wondering if Don and Moose leaving will be followed by another coming in when the cap space has been made.

We also have Bretherton as prop so we are still well fixed in that dept. Joe could have a breakthough season next year.
He has size, mobility and a full pre season should improve his stature although he already looks massive.
