Cas supporter on the other forum is saying that Wigan has agreed to sign him for 2017 (after his 12 months loan spell at Salford).

Interesting one good player bad temperament. Will fit right in

[Wiganer Ted]

With Sarginson likely to depart end of 2016 it makes a lot of sense. We'd then have six SL quality players for the five back positions.
Sam T, Manfredi, Gelling, Carney, Gildart & Charnley.
Carney can play either wing or centre.
No one will try and bully our younger players with Carney out there with his in your face aggression.
Up to the coaching staff to get the best out of him.

Would be a very interesting move if true. I'd like to see that happening - he'd certainly add some entertainment value to our back line, if we could keep his suspensions down to a minimum.

He is certainly a SW type player!!

Since when has a troublemaker like Carney been a SW player?

The last one we had was fired off!

The word 'player' as in on the pitch, due to his strong running style, aggressive defence and never say die attitude!

What happens off the pitch is a whole new world where Wigan would have to make a balanced decision about whether he is worth the baggage.

Very exciting news if true.

I do not expect us to get any confirmation of this however mid-season.

This will surely coincide with the Charnley rumours? Doesn't make sense to sign Carney with Sarginson leaving.

1 - Tomkins
2 - Manfredi
3 - Gildart
4 - Gelling
5 - Carney

Charnley and Sarginson to leave... Could leave us a little light if we have injuries however, unless we keep hold of Tierney a back up winger/fullback with Tomkins/Bateman as back up centres?

Still think we would become very week with an injury to one of the above.

In your scenario I think you've missed Higginson as the back up centre/winger.

I don't really want Carney. I don't trust him enough - which is saying something when I'm a big supporter of Gelling!

Don't really feel comfortable naming Higginson as a back up wing/centre when he hasn't yet made his first team debut and hasn't proved he can handle the step up.
