Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

After Hill gets a few more lower division games, Maybe.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

He is off contract at the end of this season and in reality might be scrapping for a first team career in the game but you wouldn’t think so watching him. If we don’t renew and nobody else picks him up in the UK, I doubt an NRL club will give him more than reserve grade money.

I’m not sure on Tanginoa. He was excellent in his first season but pretty quiet since. We need a back rower more than we need Mago however, so he could be worth a punt.
He wants to go home anyway.
Chariots , do you mean tanginoa or mago wants to go home?
Sorry Firestarter I didn't make that clear, I meant Mago.

The lad needs to get a gig, probably against Wakefield in three weeks. He deserves a shot given the form of some of our more mature props.

He’s with Toulouse for a couple of weeks yet I think and then we’ll see. That Wakefield game as mentioned above, seems an opportunity to give one or two a go.

Paddy signed for 3 years. It was Ellis who signed for 2

Both signed on 2 year deals, with 1 year options (in the clubs favour) according to the press I’ve read. Just had a Google and the club site announcement from the time he signed and 2+1 as well. I’ll try and put the link below but a pre warning that I’m useless :lol:

I’m a wiz now..ha.

In terms of Mago and Ellis (throw Miski, Cust and Isa in as well I guess), it’s a positive that we are in the position to see where we want to go as the season wears on. I can’t see Mago extending his Wigan career now but there are chances for all the others you’d imagine.

I don’t think he did. It was two years with an option, in favour of the Club, for a third year. Mago won’t be at Wigan next season.

I think Cust will be joining Mago on the plane, and I don’t expect Singo to be at Wigan next season.
