Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| I remember the days when the club made signings that would excite us.

| If he is one of a few could be a potential find i suppose. Hardly going to be expected to rip it up at 20 years old though. Doubt he will play much. Slightly un-inspiring though i must admit. Signing a prop who couldnt get a game from a side that has been woeful for 3 years just reminds me of Navarrette. Do we have scouts or do we just rely on past players and recommendations?

| Christ on a bike can we not wait until he get here before we decide hes not good enough? He's 20, repped NSW at under 16 and under 18, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do for us in the coming years. He's a prop and god knows we need one. Being able to play Loose may come in handy when Lockers retires too.

| Put ‘Gabe Hamlin highlights’ into YouTube.
Great defence and can certainly find the line, strong at getting past the opposition and decent footwork too.
Will do for me!

| The lad looks decent, definitely not afraid to put a big shot in, good feet and confident by the looks of it. SL is of a lower standard than the NRL, which means he won't have the same competition for places, he will get plenty of gametime. He looks a much better prospect than Bretherton and Naverette.

| Will take a year to settled. Will probably play well in his second year, then go back to the NRL once developed at Wigan.
That's if he isn't home sick first.

I agree. Looks like a bigger stronger Mick Cassidy with good footwork.

David Vaeliki was a well known name when he came over.

However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

| Looks like a decent enough player, but I just worry that we have announced a "new prop".
If we plan to use him at prop, he had better be prepared to bulk up - A lot - Which will cost him some pace.
We already have about the lightest front row in SuperLeague, which Hamlin will do nothing to fix.
I hope that he will be a great addition to the team, and it looks like he will be our best bet for backup to SOL, but for me, we still need to bring in a version of FPN that actually does what it is supposed to.
We need a beast in the team, and preferably one that can last longer than 10-15 minutes at a time.
Back on topic - Welcome to Wigan, Gabe. Hope you rip it up over the next 2 years.

Is Madge's recommendation not good enough for you then?

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Any signing is a gamble to a certain extent. Asotasi went to Wire with a big rep and flopped. Time will tell how he will do for us, if he flops at least he isn't taking a big chunk of the cap up.
