Makes sense for Tuson really. As nice of a bloke as he is it's not that harsh to say he's not as good as Hansen or Farrell. Add on top of that Hughes, Burke & Lloyd and we've got enough back up as well.

His commitment, work rate and desire means that he's got a big role to play at Wakefield and he'll be an excellent 80 min player along side the very underrated Kirmond.

I really hope this move leads to more game time for Hughes at 2nd row as he could be a very good player for us there.

Heard about this on Sunday and was disappointed, when he came on the scene never rated him but learned to understand and appreciate his work ethic and consistency.

Great signing for Trinity, think he will go well. If we do not plan on replacing him one of the young lads is going to have to step it up next year if we are not to miss him.

I'm excited to see Chris in the Red, White & Blue for next season after some good feedback of yourselves and seeing him play a couple of times too. Does anyone know what Shaun Wanes reaction is to him signing for us? Heard it was on your website but can't access it.

Personally I think he's a player that will age badly. He's undersized for the position and runs into a brick wall every week.

He's going to break down sooner rather than later.

Wigan are the envy of the RL world with the quality players produced - how the hell do you do it? I wish we had a similar production line -but there again we can't keep the ones we produce anyway!

I’m sure you’re right and it’s nwot to do with money

and nice to know that the probability of less honours, and just the new challenge has influenced his decision. Good luck to him, I'm sure he'll never regret it.

could not work this out until i saw that whitehead had demanded a transfer to a top 4 club,yes that will do nicely.

Mixed reports on whitehead about how his attack is pretty good but in defence he's suspect ? And he can chance his arm one too many times with the offload ? But it's from the Bradford fans.

I wouldn't break the bank for him as I don't rate him as high as Bateman (wire bound ?)

He's young and mobile however and would complement Faz and take a bit of pressure off him

I'm amazed that, despite the superb quality these youngsters are showing, people are so eager for us to shell out a load of cash to buy in players who aren't much better than what we've got. Next year we'll have Hansen (hopefully), Farrell, O'Loughlin, Burke, Hughes and Lloyd. Plus Flower who may well move to the second row (where he started at Crusaders) at some point. Lets trust the lads we've got unless someone of top quality (I'm talking internationals or thereabouts) becomes available

Poor mans Jack Hughes (or certainly will be as Hughes develops).

We need backs not forwards.

Hansen needs to go to prop, we need someone who can break a tackle and offload. The trouble is Wigan dont have an half back who backs up line breaks the way Edwards use to, and the way Maguire did/does for Leeds, We rely heavily on Sam (who may be gone) and the centres, a good line breaker needs a pass available on both sides.

Sad to see Tuson go though, under Madge we all saw soemthing in him but when the Hoff turned up it knocked him down the pecking order and he never really recovered. Saying that he shouldnt take offence because the Hoff is playing origin so thats not a bad playin second fiddle to him. I keep asking myself who Tuson reminds me of, and I've never been able answer it. Who is he similar to?

Interesting to read Wane saying in the WEP today that he is determined that Tuson will be the last departure for 2014 and that he's looking to have as strong a squad as possible.

He also said he's got more important things to worry about at the minute then his own contract and that he'll sit down with Lenagan and Rads in due course.

I'd like to hope that means him and Tomkins will be here for 2014.
