dont forget Jim Mills he was a real short ar… actually he was quite big

From my perspective Mills seemed to be the exception back then rather than the rule. His great adversary and our guy Mike Nicholas fits RD's Prop prototype from back in the day.

Heard a whisper that Cooper has been offered a deal. Still no decision made on his part.

Time for Cooper to go full-time on his clothing business that was his main focus towards the end of his Wire career.

I did wonder a couple of days ago when Mago signed for another couple of years at Wigan whether Cooper would look to move elsewhere. With Vaughan, Harrison, Musgrove, Yates?, Philbin, Bullock, Crowther, Wood, Thomas, Okoro we seem well stocked?

Amone would be a great signing, would be a point of difference for us, but Cooper I’m not sure what that would achieve.

It would be a "No" from me....if I had any say whatsoever!

I presume you mean at Wigan.

Cooper will probably give retirement some thought at the end of the season, I wouldn’t expect wire to offer him deal if he sought to continue his playing career away from Wigan. He wouldn’t add anything to what we already have in the forward pack.. his age and the recent acl injury he suffered would be a concerning factor as well

I wonder if Cooper would barge into Burgess when substituted?

It’s a no from me on coops.

Nope, Wouldn't surprise me if he's hoping for a contract at wigan but i think his time is up at a top club like that. When you think about the length of time he's been playing at the level he's played at and injuries, its an exceptional career and one he should be proud of.

It's looking increasingly unlikely that Nicholson will see out his contract, despite the offer of a big pay rise (not a new contract). Both The Titans & The Dolphins have offered him very good terms.

SB still trying to convince him to stay.

He wanted the 13 shirt for a while, does the fact Currie owns that position have anything to do with it.

Apologies i completely misread your original comment about this my mistake. If i dare ask, have you heard anything about Ashton being approached?

Ashton? Saw his interview on sky other day with Wilkin and Jenna. Both trying suggest he will leave us at one point. Hope not!
