They lost fage too.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 12:15 amWhat Do you mean Mike? They have got two of the best young players in the comp. Thompson leaves they sign another who, in my opinion is better. They lose a fullback and sign Hopoate. By the way both players are younger than their predecessors. Have they finished recruiting?

Probably comes down to how many young players we have in our squad on first team contracts which not only creates an imbalance but reduces the opportunity to sign more established players.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 12:10 amAt the moment Saints are getting it right, Wigan are not. My philosophy is don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today as tomorrow may never come.oval balls wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 7:25 pm I wonder with clubs like saints and wire signing big name players (probably more wire than saints) and probably big name salaries to go with them
Will this not come back and bite them on the arse as it did with Bradford and Widnes a few years back and the game was in what could be said a more comfortable position than it is now
People don't realise how close we actually were to Williams, Warringtons final offer swayed it. But Wigan wont come out and say that because of the way it portrays himnathan_rugby wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 7:59 amPlus Thornley
Plus broadly what you said about Williams
Breaking the bank for Williams would have been the wrong thing to do. He is not Andrew Johns.Dan2266 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:05 amPeople don't realise how close we actually were to Williams, Warringtons final offer swayed it.

To be fair someone else was first with the Thornely situation, not quite sure who it was
Somewhat agree. But we need to replace Hastings, and not with an average player. Williams was the best available and we did our best to get him. Wire were just desperate to land him.Wintergreen wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:07 amBreaking the bank for Williams would have been the wrong thing to do.

On the basis the club confirmed specifically that £73k remained, surely the half has been signed, just not announced?Dan2266 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:11 amSomewhat agree.

Money is there for a half like I said the other week.
Haven’t heard anything for a while about how the pursuit of Miller is going, but was told a new signing (not thornley) was possibly going to be all but announced at the forum. (Which from what Ive seen so far it wasn’t)
You’d assume so, but depending on who they claim dispensation as Marquee against that £73k could increase / decrease.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 11:26 amOn the basis the club confirmed specifically that £73k remained, surely the half has been signed, just not announced?Dan2266 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:11 amSomewhat agree.
