Up the Wharfedale!

I think that I would sooner be in prison!

Anyway when is it going to be announced why hang on till season ticket time.

I've heard part of the deal includes 2 wigan fringe players - does anyone know who they are?

We have just released 3 but I think two of those are off to Widnes but don't know if they're confirmed yet.

They were Marsh Mellor and King.

May be two of those but I'm pretty sure Marsh is nailed on to be going Widnes.

They're out of contract though so we don't really have any bargaining power with those.

Suppose but may have been a first refusal thing organised a couple months back I don't know who do you think it could be?

With the risk of a hilarious onslaught of "we need announcements" posts, this has dragged on similar to what the Lauaki, Dudson and Flower signings did last year, plus the club haven't officially told us that Russell is going to the Titans or that Finch is going back to the Storm. I really don't get the club with stuff like this at times.

They've told us that Mellor, Russell, Marsh, Carmont, Fielden, Lima, Finch... are all leaving. It really isn't up to Wigan to announce where they're going too.

I'd assume we haven't announced the signing of Taylor because he hasn't signed.

Wigan can't even do that. If a player is coming to the end of their contract, the club have zero bargaining power with them in relation to offering to other clubs once their contract has finished.

Fair enough I didn't know I dont know much about that stuff really.

Is there a certain part of the season they can? Like for example in May or whatever early on in the season can they say "hey Hull KR if you let us have Taylor we won't try and sign them on you can?

I'm not clutching at straws btw I'm just trying to learn about that side of the game.
