On the face of it top eight should be achievable (injuries permitting) but the competition is really hotting up and teams that I would expect to be around us are recruiting well. I see Wakefield have pulled off a great signing today with Isaac John of the New Zealand Warriors. Their squad is really coming together so I can see the race for the eight being even tougher next year.

Kopczak was best prop on the pitch and it was Dudson they said was going to Wigan

Not sure what the point of saying Kear was average - did best he could I thought, sounds like someone's setting their stall out early

Ah dudson! Well I am relieved! Koppy looked very impressive indeed. did bulls proud especially when nobby said he signed him for bulls as a 16 yr old from Dudley hill

Funnily enough, when he said that in commentary, though I'd worked it out he meant Dudson, he didn't say it in anything like a clear way and I thought anyone only half listening would probably think he meant Koppy.

Loads of space.
Deacon retired.
Hoffman - Melbourne Storm
Coley - retired
O'Carroll - Hull
Ben Davies - Widnes
Gleeson - gone to who knows where
Karl Pryce - ?
Joel Tomkins - Saracens


They were all contracted to Wigan in 2011

Ok fair enough.
Has Joel gone to Saracens then?
