i think Ratchford is an ideal and much cheaper use of the cap money spare from gleeson's departure. would be like an extra phelps with a little bit extra IMO.

i wouldn't want carvell to come to wigan though. tony puletua would be a cracking signing but i beleive he's rumoured to be oz-bound?

would deffo look at Dowes as a replacement for Coley, their stats are on a par with each other, Dowes being slightly better for last season

not sure about Stefan Ratchford . wud look at tony club tho

Cashmere,O'Mealy and maybe Randell

You will have to pay big for King, he won't like giving up his £300k pa contract.

Some interesting players OOC.

O'meley would be an immense signing.
Cashmere would be a cheaper option but imo would be a great buy.
Matt King should be considered for the right price.
Stefan Ratchford would be a useful aquisition, can play anywhere really from 1-7. So could be used to replace Deacon at 6/7 or to fight it out in the centre's with the likes of Marsh and Charnley.

For next year we need quite abit of extra experience due to the loss of older heads like Gleeson, Coley, Deacon, Carmont and poss Hoffman. We also need adequate replacements position wise aswell. We look extremely weak in the centres, whilst we also need an extra Prop and cover at the least in the halfbacks. Would love to see IL to try and tempt Cas with a few £ for Rangi Chase though.

Louis Anderson has signed for Catalan and Tony Puletua is wire bound if rumours are to be believed
