Interestingly Castleford provide no-one for the squad on a weekend when we play each other.

Can't announce it until Canberra pony up the transfer fee.

He is a half back for me (and I thought that before yesterday). Fairly big for a half, can tackle but has the X factor.

For me he is easily the most suitable style of half in SL that will make the transition to international rugby league.

Talented footballer. Stepped up well.

On the other hand Percy was a turnstile. People have often criticised Bennett's decision to play Bateman in the centres instead of Percy, but I feel after seeing Percy exposed on numerous occasions I feel Bennett as an argument.

Sounds increasingly to me as if Canberra's unwillingness to pay for our best player may be what keeps him at Wigan.

Though, in truth, I doubt that will happen.

I'm not sure what planet Canberra are on, thinking Wigan should just write off his contract so they can get him on a free, but at some point I suspect they'll realise that British clubs are not just here at their bloody convenience.

Pretty sure it's all a done deal. Just a matter of Wigan making the announcement.
