It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t fill our quota next season.

Byrne in and Vaughan out, so even if we did keep Musgrove (hope not) and Tai we'll have 2 quota spots, As Yates will not count on the quota if the new rules come in to affect next year.
I think King will have to take a pay cut next year regardless of where he goes so we very well might keep him. Unless as said in previous comments, Wrench and Lindop develop well this year and can take the centre spots. Will ease our Salary cap and fill our centre spots for quite awhile.
Also i still think Max Wood offers more than Musgrove in every game i've seen. Even though he's smaller he has a slightly better impact than musgrove, has much better skill and plays 2-3 times longer than musgrove, so it could well be Wood who takes his spot. And i hope Luke Thomas gets some game time this year, and can build on what we saw before his injury. And we have Green and Whitehead in the wings, so fingers crossed they continue to develop.
All in all i think we're looking good long term

Spoke with Liam Byrne tonight, he confirmed that he has signed for Wire. The deal is the same he was offered at Wigan, so you have done well there.

Huddersfield and Warrington got mugged by Wigan. I can’t believe that neither club tied him down

I'd start Wrench and Lindop now, but I'm not Sam Burgess who needs to win games, just a fan who likes exciting players.

King did fit perfectly into the Wigan system and they expected him to play a solid game, we expected him to be a world beater.

It was wide spread media that Wardle had already agreed to go Wigan before he came to Warrington on that strange swap deal.
It was lightly rumoured Wire had tried to get Wardle out of his agreement to Wigan, how I don’t know.
Although Carvell managed it once.

I might get tied up in knots for this but....... I am Wire through and through but if i was in his position being offered the same between Warrington and Wigan currently i know who i would be choosing and what i would want to be part of, i hope he sees something us regular fans don't see. Glad he picked us i think he improves on any team in SL

I believe we tried but you had already done a deal. I wish we could of kept him good honest player and as much as it pains me to see Wigan lift another SL trophy and CC seeing players like him lift it softens the blow

Correct. Believe Burgess was the big pull in the deal and Bryne wanting to play under him. Burgess referenced in an interview recently that the main reason he extended his deal was to lure players as recruiting was becoming difficult convincing players to sign with him having a short contract.

He's down the pecking order at Wigan. He won't be with us. Probably be our #1 prop when Vaughan goes. Plus he has already won every honour available in the game.

Good post. I cannot think of any reason at all as to why we would extend Musgrove and use a quota spot on him. Underwhelming is the kindest word I can use to describe his performances in the PnB.
