Okunbor is rubbish. I've followed his career from the start. First he was a not-very-good winger, then converted into a not-very-good back-rower. Never looked NRL class, and wouldn't improve many SL teams.

Seems a strange signing.

Likewise, it was sad seeing Hull fans trying to get excited about his signing.

Big Wigan news to be announced by Jenna Brooks on Sky Sports News in the next five mins or so.

If it’s the Big One 9 I’ll be deflated!

**Update** Seven year deals for Peet, Lockers and Leuluai. That’s some long term commitment!

Seven year deals for Peet, O'Loughlin and Leuluai. Its good news but seems a bit strange to me - hasn't Peet just signed a four year deal?

We lost Briers to the NRL ... and that was before we beat Penrith in the WCC.

Perhaps this is a 'safety first' move.

Maybe so,i do feel the NRL will come for Peet at some point,Tommy too but wether they decide to go of course is another matter

I’m not 100% sure they will come for Peet not many British coaches go over there. Briers and Agar last two to go

He’d have to take an assistants job because there is no way their arrogance would allow them to appoint an English head coach, with no history in the NRL.

Agree, think Brian McDermott still assistant with Newcastle too and he’d achieved quite a bit over here.

Seem to recall Wane saying he’d like a crack too but it’s never happened.

Can’t see any reason they would view Peet any differently.

I've always thought Shaun Wane would have had a real dig and he'd make a real impression over there with how forthright he is.

He’s got a young family, there’s no way he would go down under.

Aye, I wouldn't have thought so, especially with a seven year deal in the bag. Just pointing out they'd never give him a head coaches job anyway and if you've got that here, at one of the biggest clubs in the sport, that is your hometown club and looks well set up for success, why would you go and be a right hand man for somebody else? Not at this stage anyway.

Here's to him continuing his great work at the club for the next seven years or however long he is here.

I’d have loved to have seen it too.

Carney referenced French being off contract this year.

Sam Tomkins seemed confident Wigans unlimited finances would be enough to keep him.

Hope Sam is right!
