I'm not going to defame his name by saying this is factual information but I have heard he hasn't got the best track record in terms of discipline. For a young player who was getting all the plaudits when he was coming through to *allegedly* turn up to training drunk is not the type of player Wigan will waste chances on.
We're due a breakout outside back to come through. Tommo was the last in 2017.
That's what makes Herbie Farnworth [6'3] & Dom Young [6'7] such exceptions.

Re: Potential Outs
This is why I’m not too fused when nrl clubs snatch players anymore. If we can get good fees and they can develop them into good players how goods that for England. Makinson Percival farnworth young is a really good back line. Herbie world class I believe. Newman I think would go very well in the nrl as well if he could keep fitwgwr1999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 6:57 pmI have always said that England produces some of the best forwards in world rugby.

Thankfully, the centre options next year are very good in that regard:Mike wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:16 pmAnyone who's big automatically becomes a second rower at wigan.wgwr1999 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 6:57 pmI have always said that England produces some of the best forwards in world rugby.

Sam Halsall - 6'2
Jake Wardle - 6'3
Toby King - 6'3
Iain Thornley - 6'4
Kai Pearce-Paul - 6'5
Although I expect KPP to come off the bench as a forward.
Re: Potential Outs
Something must change out of that.
No way are ee having all those fighting for centre.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Suppose we have to see what happens with French before we start letting Miski go anywhere - I’d keep hold of him anyway, we need squad depth across all positions.
It might be nothing more than common sense marketing but here we are.

Re: Potential Outs
From comments in Wigan Today, Iain Thornley is clearly not expecting to be moved on next season. The worrying part for me was his hope that he'll be back two games into the new season at the earliest. It could of course be much longer than that and it means that he won't have completed a full preseason. I hope he's only being seen as a back up next year because I think he's showing all the hallmarks of an ageing player whose body just can't cope with the rigours of the game at the top flight. We really do need the Wardle signing to go ahead and it's worrying that it's still not been announced. Why should we delay it any further?

wgwr1999 I’ve sent you a private message can you read it please?
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Potential Outs
Someone send me a private message and reassure me Wardle is signing. The longer we hear nothing the less hair I have and my comb over is already shocking. It’s borderline cruelty
