The best half back combination we’ve had in SL by a distance I’d say, well balanced too, Austin should bring a strong running game, Widdop the distribution and kicking game. Really impressed with this.

Let’s hope we have enough left in the cap to put a great team around them.

Ratchford / Austin / Widdop / Clark is a GREAT spine.

Absolutely fantastic signing. Every club in SL that can afford him would have been after him, so great work to get him here.

That's a statement of intent for sure. Great signing, I really hope Austin settles and we get to see that pairing next season. Well done to all involved.

I guess Patton is now injury cover foe 2019 and insurance for Austin being here in 2020.

Brown to leave end of 2019.

It looks like we are on the cusp of assembling the best HB partnership in SL.

As big a signing as Moz was I think.

Despite this being described as SL's biggest signing, the good old BBC have treated RL with it's usual disdain.

The BBC Sport website (run, I assume, from Media City, Salford) didn't equate this news big enough for their sports headlines (but did include the latest tennis failures and women's RU).
However, BBC Radio Manchester (run from the same place) DID cover themselves in glory, for this morning's 3 sports desks, when they announced that we have signed GEORGE Widdop.
Well done to all concerned.

And Radio Manchester did a feature of Wigan's press day and featured heavily on Zac H drug rehab. No mention of Wire or Widdop

Excellent management of this signing by the club, kept it very quiet until the deal was more-or-less done. Really shows the determination of Messrs Moran and Middleton to invest heavily in the future. Now we need more of Warrington's 200,000 population to respond and start going to matches at the HJ.

This signing alone could see the first game this season sell out. Not worth getting excited about though as other fans have already pointed out that Widdop is a crock/overrated, Austin will be here for 1 season only (if he even sees the season out) and our squad is going to be ridiculously lop-sided with just five quality, highly paid players and the rest made up of match stewards and some of the women's team.

Our sport IS treated like £ by the BBC. The Sky Sports News website had a good piece.
