20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Quote: MattyB "I'm going to try to answer my own question here. Not only do I think success on the pitch has an affect to attendances but also the players who have contributed to that success
Spot on Matty, this is exactly what it boils down to. The complete lack of star quality, plus the only ones with a touch of it are desperate to get out of the door to go to the NRL.
What the club need to do is take a punt on is a genuine world class player, I wonder how Saints attendance went up when they signed Ben Barba?
Let’s say a genuine world class player is on 1 million (aus dollars) or £550,000, let’s say they’d be replacing someone on £100,000 so there’s a £450,000 shortfall. (Sam Burgess, Cooper Cronk, Shaun Johnson, Jason Taumilolo and Roger Tuavasa-Sheck in around this amount, this is what type of player I’m talking)
Over 15 games, if the club were £10 up from every ticket sold they’d need an extra 3,000 fans each home game to cover the cost of that player. If it’s £7.50 profit from each ticket, then it would be 4000 extra fans needed.
I’d say it was achievable.

Not as daft as it first seems.
I understand Matty Peet is returning to Wigan as AL assistant with an emphasis on defensive responsibility.

Sorry you are right Bigred. Collinson left in Sept 17 and MacLeod left last year.
It's McLoughlin who now heads up marketing together with his previous role.
Macleod has gone to Warrington RL.
