Excellent news!!!

Fantastic news.

Who are our marquee players next year then, as I'm sure this year was Hastings and G.Burgess, and we said Bateman would be marquee next year.

But how many would get in a combined team with Saints players?

AngryDave says none so that's that.

Hastings and Gildart?

Lockers is retiring. He's announced it to the playing staff.

Hastings confirms Lockers retirement pretty much in his interview on Wigan TV, saying they want to send him out on a high.

Such a shame he’ll go out with no crowd but hopefully the players can get the job done for him.

Hopefully once crowds are let back into the stadium he will walk on to the field to speak to the fans, allow us to show final appreciation.

I always used to like the last league game at the DW (and Central Park) where departing players did a final lap of honour. Brett Dallas centre spot boots.... etc.

Well, that news on top of the re-signing of French has put paid to those who have taken great delight in saying that both players were leaving the club.

Now, all we need is another announcement that Lam has signed a new contract to sicken them all together!

Well, if there was any doubt before, that's just sealed the deal.

Strong looking team coming together for 2021 - if you add a top prop then it will be a heck of a side to beat.
