Love to see other teams anounce new player signings. Don't hear Jack about us and it's that bad we signed a player months ago and still haven't officially announced it. Thornley was just mentioned in the general meeting that he's signed but don't even realise official statement, so what chance have we got of seeing new players anytime soon. Left in the dark the fans as always clutching onto the mole or Matt Shaw letting us know before the club does. Shambles

I wouldn't be in a rush to announce the signing of Thornley if his "efforts" against Wakey were anything to go by

I know, I've lost count of the posts on here calling for us to sign him. What a terrible moment for the club.

Do you know what the most embarrassing thing is, they’ve still got roby. He would walk into our squad, well most squads in the league even at the age he’s at now

Even at his age now Roby is still top drawer at his peak world class so of course he would walk into the Wigan side at present

I’m think that’s obviously true. From the fans forum we were £114k shy of the cap this season due to G Burgess going and next season we have £223k left to spend (£150k for a half back before he then becomes a marquee player should Wigan find one of that quality + £73k left after that).

Then you look at the squads this results in and such star signings as Thornley who will be the only specialist centre in the team and what else can you conclude except Rads, who obviously runs the club for IL, is paying some players far too much money.

I dont think what you say is unfair to be honest the cap has been spread far to thinly on too little quality frankly
