Slightly off-topic, but Williams has been given the England captaincy in the absence of Tomkins. Wane obviously has some faith in him. Hopefully will do his confidence a bit of good as well as motivating him to take a bit more of an on-field leader role for us next year.

Yeah you are probably right, but money talks

You can watch Brandon Wakeham tonight on our league.com. If there’s any truth in the rumour. At least he’ll be under no illusions about the weather over here, if he does eventually sign.

Hearing Wire enquiring in to Oliver Gildart.

I take exception with these signings, if true. Wigan almost always have a “first refusal” option for those that go to the NRL, so either they don’t want him (red flag, if they have taken King) or we have paid enough to make the club attractive.

Well he didn’t set the NRL alight and ended up loaned out, and the Roosters don’t want him.

Well Cooper Johns have just left his club with no confirmation of where he's going. Maybe that could be our Johns In all seriousness though i am hoping a deal is done for someone by the end of this month

Gildart is too small to play centre in the NRL, and should never have gone there.

That was exactly what I thought when it broke he was going.
He’s a stone underweight for me

It’s not necessarily an indication that he’s not good enough though. Hardaker looked like a rag doll over there and came back and is still effective.

Nobody will know him better than Wane though, so if he’s not being considered back at Wigan, he & Peet must see King as being better/better value for money.

There are probably a lot of examples, but I can’t recall Wigan letting go of many players and them going on to regret it.

Wigan have their centres sorted for next year in King and Wardle.

I really don’t see Gildart returning to SL.

I’m sure he has signed for The Dolphins for 23 just prior to going on loan to the Roosters.

Hock discipline, Tomkins cost, and Hardaker if you consider banning as going away.
Whereas I can’t think of any other players other than that of Wigan.

Sean Long, and to a lesser extent, Kevin Brown

It seems that almost all of those of Wigan or at least Wiganers, in contrast the Barbs post.
