rachford signs for warrington i believe wigan offered him a contract but chose warrington instead were do they get there money from

Speculation or have you got any firm evidence of him going anywhere?

Bloody hell Ratchford!

beleive me

I would love it if they got Ratchford to replace King and we signed King...

I wouldn't. He's 30 years old and a stop gap. We need to be looking at picking up a young lad who'll be with us for many years and not command £200k per year

Wigan couldn't afford Ratchford never mind King because you don't have the cap exemption.

We did have a few years ago but we didn't win owt.

So they resigned their three forwards today, t'Dog Whisperer a few months ago and now Ratchford?

Surely somebody must be leaving. Not just King.

I am happy to have 2 years of top class stop gap to give the younger lads time to develop rather than a career of mediocrity that Ratchford will produce...in my opinion.

But if we can't find one of sufficient quality in time for next year, would King not be a good replacement as a 'stop gap'?

We know IL won't pay him silly money, so I'd be more than happy to see King line up for us whilst it served a purpose to the club.

Don't forget Waterhouse is also on the way.
