The shedding of players is apparently in order for them to keep hold of the big 4 of Slater, Inglis, Cronk & Smith.

Widdop is going to be taking the stand off shirt from next year replacing Finch.

Anybody else seems fair game and of who is left I would like to see Blair or Manu at Saints if we could fit them in.

Hindley, they stuck us in Div 6 to start with so we've spent the majority of the last 2 years racking up cricket scores.

If I can recall he was a loose forward before he went to Warrington with corzy and carney.

I turned Warrington down at same time they signed, I signed for widnes with a few Leigh east and Leigh miners players.

Warrington seemed to be on mission back then, IIRC Wigan suffered through too much success and alot of lads decided to go elsewhere because they thought they'd stand a better chance of making it.. (and I believe Warrington were offering more money ).

Do you remember a prop who used to play for one of the Leigh teams (might have been miners) called Murphy? really good player who I think ended up on Saints books..

Sounds like the Murphy I'm thinking of - he was a bit of a 1 man team in his club side , I remember him basically lobbing our hooker at Ashton (Jimmy Hinnegan)into one of the posts with a handoff lol
