Powell & Leuluai, with Tomkins likely moving into the halves.

Hull KR the pride of East Hull.:



Gelling also released. In my opinion need to get some couple of players in, I'd just for squad.

McIlorum and Gelling departing the Pies is very interesting. Either Wigan have some big signings in the bag or Catalans have splashed the cash. Didn’t see it coming at all.

The suggestion is that some players who were expected to leave decided to stay and that with planned contract improvements Wigan have got so close to the salary cap that they needed to let someone go.

Where's Gelling going?

I always thought that if you could implant a brain in him, his physical attributes would make him a really good centre.

That signing of Irish international hooker Michael McIlorum, along with PNG international and captain David Mead being signed to play full back, gives the Catalans a good chance of a top 4 finish.

A top four finish only if you flip the league upside down.

It had been rumoured for a while tbf (the other one was that he was going to Canberra to fill in for the injured Hodgson). Its still an odd one though and one that I wasnt going to believe until it happened. Should prove a good signing for the Dragons. Terrible business for Wigan unless they have a top replacement ready to step in. He's not everyone's cup of tea for obvious reasons, but he's a fine hooker.

Maybe.

Leuluai certainly should offer more at hooker than he has in the halves, but I think he's finished personally.

Gelling's gone back to New Zealand. I liked watching him play, but was glad he didn't play for my side the amount of mistakes he made.

Catalans now have two quality hookers -- Michael McIlorum and Paul Aiton --- to rotate in each game. Alrix da Costa is a standby back-up, who will learn from watching the other two. This, after the signing of the star speedster David Mead to play full back, creates the balance in Catalans roster which will give them a great chance of being in the top four.

I am delighted but I wouldn't go that far!
