Did anyone know about the Rhodri Lloyd signing, or was it a surprise to everyone? I've never heard of him to be honest. I wonder if it puts to bed the rumors about Gelling signing for Wigan?

Sound like 3 promising, young signings
I wonder in a years time or so if Lenagan is planning to play a game in Wales. If marketed correctly and these 3 in the side it could be a big hit

There were some rumours on here last week about signing a young Welsh centre, but the name Lloyd was never mentioned as far as I am aware |

I sincerely hope not hopefully IL has brought Rhodri Lloyd in to start of in the Acadamy and see how he develops there. IMO we are lacking a centre what has happened to the Wheeler rumours? Id be happy if we brought in this Anthony Gelling but somehow now after this signing I cannot see it happening although sources down under suggest its a done deal.
Anyways Welcome to Wigan Lloyd, Gil, and Ben its good that Wigan are trying to open the door for young Welsh Talent hopefully more to follow in the future. |

Ben Flower said "When you talk to people about Wigan they recognise them as the number one side and I am really looking forward to putting on the Cherry and White shirt."
That's what you want to hear!

Would have thought at 18 Lloyd would be in the 20s this year and the remaining vacant squad number will go to Gelling. |

| I must say whether Gelling comes aboard or not, the average age of the Wigan team must have fallen dramatically considering the age of those that have left with those we have just signed.
Some might say the quality has also. But some times you have to take a step back in order to two take forward. Replacing experienced seasoned pro's is never easy. But I'd much rather we replaced them with much younger players, than recruit players who themselves will need replacing in a couple of years time.

Your probably right. |

I think there will only be Fielden, Carmont and Finch over the age of 30 at the start of the season. |

Three names I hadn't heard of both we were linked to them but I will be 100% behind them and hope they prove to be great additions to the team.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Lets compare that to Warrington.
Brett Hodgson - 33
Lee Briers - 33
Adrian Morley - 34
Michael Monaghan - 31
Gareth Carvell - 30
Trent Waterhouse - 30
Ben Westwood - 30
Mick Higham - 31
Paul Wood - 30
David Solomona - 33
Joel Monaghan - 29 (30 in a few months)
That is an ageing squad and I am glad we are not in that position.
We are clearly trying to make the squad turnover sustainable to years to come. |
