In theory that is correct.

Just what I had heard man, calm down!

Knee Jerk or what!

Shock horror, what I have heard might be wrong

His name came to my mind too. Only because he was the only player to speak publicly in Noble's defence after he went. But just because he liked the bloke doesn't mean he'll follow him down to Wales.

You've got to realise that H was very young when Noble came to Wigan and noble eased him into the first team.

Hansen will probably feel a great deal of loyalty to Noble.

IMO, I can see him coming in for Karl Pryce and Carmont. I think he would like to put the pair on a wing. He might try to loan some of the ex reserve players, sending O' Carroll there for 12 months would be a good move IMO both for the player and us.

And I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all.

Just because he is sad to see Nobby leave doesn't mean that he is going to throw his dummy out the pram,rejectr the new coach and become a bad influence around the club as some people seem to be suggesting he will.

Sorry if that was how you took my post, it was never intended that way. I'm a big fan of Hansen and I don't think many appreciate how hard he works. I also believe he has a tremendous professional attitude, he certainly is no dummy spitter.

I doubt it will affect him in any way. You are right to say Hansen has been great for us recently.

No I didn't take it that way. I was just making a general point from your post.

I like Harrison Hansen. I think with the salary cap you need players who can do a solid job for you. He has the best tackling technique at the club IMO and is a solid defender. Takes the ball up strong and hits the line hard, much more than he used to.

And at 23 his best years are definately in front of him. It would be foolish to let him go because of how much Wigan have invested in his development and to let another team benefit from this would be foolish. As long as he continues to develop and improve at the level he is doing each season I would extend his contract for another two years.

Paul King from Hull FC will end up at Celtic.

we have to get george signed up ASAP in my opinion.

we finally have a settled 1-7 and george is definately worth another couple of years. Id be tempted to loan goulding to them on a week by week loan again. and stick with pryce and thornley and bailey as back up to the centre as either one of those could play centre.

id give carmont 2 years purly on the basis of him being able to do a job and being, as shown in the playoffs, our best strike player. in his second year we should be looking at easing thornley in to take over when carmont retires and goulding should be eased in to gleesons position.

With all due respect to Celtic, I can't see any of our players WANTING to leave, just because Nobby has gone there. There is a zero per cent chance of winning anything, and it's likely they might lose their SL franchise too.
With MM and SW taking over, it has brought a wave of optimism within the fans, so you have to assume the players feel the same.
If next year's coaches are going to change things for the better, I'm confident all the players would want to stay and win something.

Or in some players cases anyone that works in Costco can find out! A few players have left their payslips in there while they've been joining up.
