The three forward rumours that seem good to me are Welch, Clark and McMeekin. They could transform our pack.
That would leave the club to resolve the half back situation with Williams leaving (again rumoured).

According to loverugbyleague we went in for Owen Farrell but couldnt afford his wage so switched to Hastings.

Is that serious? With the marquee rule we can pay what we like in theory. If we made a serious inquiry about Farrell but expected to be able to match his wage I’d be astonished. IL is cost cutting not flinging the dosh.

I read that too
He must be on silly money because it couldn't have been the salary cap that meant we couldn't recruit him

Sorry but I buy the Owen Farrell story,in a year of cost cutting we are expected to believe Wigan could afford the wages he would be on?

Im sorry but bar one comment made last year when we did lose alot of staff and players at the end of it. this cost cutting is just hearsay and opinion by fans!!
That isnt saying i believe the rumour though.

I’d rather have a proven league man pulling the strings and at the minute Hastings is the best on offer unless Cherry-Evans decides to be Cherry-White

I think he'd be free in salary cap terms wouldn't he. Is that non rl player dispensation still around?
But whether it makes financial sense to sign him is another matter. I would have gonr for it I'd it we're me, but it would have made more sense to link him up with Edwards that would have generated some serious column inches. Now that ship has sailed probably best to stay in the league talent pool.
