Wigan Signings!!!

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Slightly off topic but would rule out one potential name being passed around as a possible recruit. I have heard that Warrington are set to sign Danny Kirmond

If we assume that Pettybourne and Hopkins are direct replacements for Mossop and Tuson then, given my rough calculation, that would still leave us circa £800k available under the salary cap - with that we should be in a position to attract some top players.
I get your overall point, but doesn't your £800k calculation also assume that the young lads who have developed this year (Sam P, Crosby, Taylor, Dudson, Hughes, Logan, Burke etc) stay on the same pay? Surely a chunk of that must go to them if we're not going to repeat the mistakes of the past (i.e. losing the likes of Long, Robinson, Brown and others - in part because we tried to keep them on low pay for too long).
Good point, there will be some players that receive incremental increases (some dependant on performance), but that will still leave us a massive amount of cap to invest on new players.

Long and Robinson didn't leave because of the money!

I believe we made him an offer but this will be withdrawn if we can land Carney.

Hard to say. Briscoe seems to enjoy pissing people around, Hull, Leeds, St Helens, Wigan, NRL, RU and still no decision as to his future.

At least we've known all along where Sam is going!
