Weren't we after him in the first place when he decided to go to Wire? Can't say as I was ever that sorry he rejected us and personally have no desire to see him in the famous cherry and white (He'd look like an elongated Dennis the Menace with that hair anyway!)

Would go for Ah Van at Bradford first. Keeping them afloat and, I believe,only on a one year contract.
Yes,I know he is a winger, but so is King IMO.

Ah Van is terrible, he is the kind of import that makes Super League a disgrace.

I know its just board talk an not even a rumour but I would be very disappointed if we signed Ah Van.

Matt King on the other hand is class. Would love to see him in a Wigan shirt. If we manage to resign Carmont for a year as rumoured, I would be extremely happy with our backline next year:

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Matt King
4. George Carmont
5. Pat Richards

With Darrell Goulding, Stefan Marsh, Matty Russell, Ryan King etc to back up

Is Matt King a better Centre (or winger?) than the centres we have already got? Excluding Pat (who can only play on one wing at any given time) and George (who can only play in one centre position at any given time) then for me the answer is yes, so I would be very happy if we signed him. I understand we have some promising youngsters but at this current time are they better than King? probably not so sign him, he is a proven NRL and SL player.
