Rumour has it he could be off to Wigan, I know it's been in the pipeline before but it seems more strongly linked this time, if it does happen then it might not be so bad, gives more time to laithewaite, currie, McCarthy ect....

Hell's bells, he has been off to Wigan so many times he must be exhausted by now.

Certainly their pack needs beefing up with the loss of Hock, but we don't have that many props. Harrison could move up, and TS tried House against Cas, but I think He is far more destructive at back row.

Source ??

I've seen it mentioned on twitter, Sarl and look on the Wigan board in the rumours post at the top, it's the last 3 pages they're on about it, if we lose him then Harrison will move to prop and grix at loose

I suppose it's a possibility. There can not be too many opportunities around for them at the moment and I think he originally came from Wigan ( Ince Rose Bridge ). I still think it would leave us short of props though. And all are young starlets (Laithwaite, Currie, Bridge are back rowers). I don't think any of our young props ( Bennion, Riley, Morrison) are anywhere near ready for SL introduction yet. So you have to ask why would TS be prepared to release him ? Unless of course Lenagan agreed to support the re-introduction of the youth age groups for SL clubs ( LOL ).

Load of bollock !

Can't see us letting him go to a competitor unless there's a decent transfer fee.

Yes he is. Every day after training. He's apparently been given a few weeks to get some personal business sorted. He will be back ready to go soon.

Needs to bulk up a little, looks to have lost a stone since the Grand Final.

This should put life into perspective, it's easy for keyboard warriors to type abuse. Should this article be true then all the best to Woody during these times

Hopefully state of mind has had/will have some effect.

Phil Wilkinson Tweeted "Rumours are true, Wigan are keen to sign Warrington prop Paul Wood - deal is not done yet (& would be surprised if it happened before Fri).".

Seems an odd one to me, no pun intended....

Hopefully Woody is going nowhere, but if this is the case would we expect Smith to utilise Harrison/Coops as the 4th prop, or can we see House taking on the role permanently?

That would at least free up Currie or Grix for more game time?

I'm also not sure that Woody is the signing Wigan need. He's a good prop with a good offload, but isn't the enforcer I believe they are missing from their pack.

Well we can't blame Woody for wanting to move to a bigger club I suppose. It must be the allure of bigger crowds, better supporters, more silverware, shorter commuting and free match day pies. Who amongst us would turn down a similar opportunity ?

Be honest now.

If Wigan sign a player of Wood's age then Rogues will be appalled.
