He’s back.

Never saw that one coming.

Really interesting to see how he goes under Peet.

Replaces Hanley in the squad but can provide options at 6 & 7 too rather than just outside backs.

Could be a very useful addition hope he has recovered from injury and it hasn’t had an effect on his pace.

I imagine he’s on a low wage and he adds needed cover in the halves but it’s a very uninspiring signing.

Played well for Cas last year before he got injured and we do need more squad depth.

Not one to get excited about but its low risk and hopefully he turns out to be a useful option for us.

Peet will know all about him having brought him through at Wigan as a junior.

If he lets him play his game with his eyes up then I think he could be a very useful addition.

Just when you thought the club had rid itself of its addiction to signing ex-players........

Happy enough with this.

Unintelligent people on twitter sounded off like all the Bateman money has been used on this.

A free agent without a club so will be on a very low salary (I praised Russell signing at Warrington for similar reasons).

Adds to squad depth. Ultility.

Low risk signing.

Peet and the staff will know him well.

Sports fans and twitter really do not mix well.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts there.

Adds depth and a reliable backup option to call upon. Also, it's pretty much a given that he'll be on a cheap wage.

To add another level, I'm hoping this + the recent Eckersley performance gives the club enough comfort to explore the possibility of moving Miski on. Nothing against the lad, but we've got money available to spend and just need that quota spot.

Plenty of highlights packages on YouTube if people want to check out.

Like Jonh has said if he still has his pace he could be an asset.

2 months away from being fully fit.

Agreed,very uninspired signing done naff all since his threw his toys out the pram and flounce off to seek fame and fortune elsewhere when will this club learn?

But this signing has improved the squad, so not sure what the issue is? He's replaced Hanley as a 3rd backup at FB and is a better player than Hanley is. Add in that he'll also be covering HB and it's a 'no brainer'.

With the way people are talking, you'd think he'd be starting at 6 at Hull KR in a few weeks wouldn't you.
Completely agree, solid signing. Back up to injuries, no doubt on a cheap deal. If he isn't good enough, he'll leave at the end of next year.

As much as it pains me to say it, its a good signing for Wigan and gives them squad depth which every club needs due to the stupid MRP.

Better to have an experienced player coming in than a green youngster.

We lack cover across the back positions and he can play anywhere bar centre. I’m sure he’s come extremely cheap and has a one year deal, which means he’ll fight hard for another. It’s a signing you just can’t lose out on really. The lad should’ve handled his first stint differently and I’m sure he wonders how things might’ve gone had he done so but hopefully that will add some hunger.

No issues at all with the signing IMO.
