Jack Hughes
Definitely signed for Warrington, turned down a deal with Huddersfield.

Seriously? Does that mean we can keep our Hudds exchange player then?shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Definitely signed for Warrington, turned down a deal with Huddersfield.

Re: Jack Hughes
I agree. I worry about our recruitment and retention plans. Unless we have signings in the pipeline our squad, especially our forward cover is looking wafer thin next season. Where do we find a player of Jack's ability and potential for the money we were paying? If Bateman has to play centre then Connor Faz will have to step up on a regular basis.cpwigan wrote:Good luck to him. He is a quality player.

Re: Jack Hughes
An even better player. In an ideal world we would have been able to keep both but such is life in a salary cap era that understandably players move on leaving the opportunity for a younger academy player to progress. For example, not first team material yet but Jack Wells is an excellent 2nd row prospect IMO.TrueBlueWarrior wrote:What does that make Liam Farrell then?cpwigan wrote:Good luck to him.

Re: Jack Hughes
But we took Larne Patrick & he got games near enough every week! Was it that Jack Hughes wanted a starting position & not one off the bench?TrueBlueWarrior wrote:Exactly, unfortunately not everyone can play!!cpwigan wrote:An even better player.

I'm gutted he has gone
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: Jack Hughes
Jack lives and breathes Wigan. What I can't understand is why we didn't try and retain him. I can only assume that there is someone else in the pipeline or that we want to create cap space to promote our juniors. The latter is a risky strategy in my view as I am unsure if anyone can step up on a regular basis if we get injuries.josie andrews wrote:But we took Larne Patrick & he got games near enough every week!
